DANDARDEL VEE TANGO

2004 Dam Legion of Merit

            DANDARDEL VEE TANGO (Twyford Storm x Vaynor Tango) was foaled in 1981 at Orear Welsh Pony Farm, Emporia, Kansas. Vee Tango was the last foal out of the imported mare, Vaynor Tango.

            This lovely mare has been a “stay at home mom” and produced 20 foals for the Orears. Shown here with her 1988 foal  Dandardel Storm, she is the shining example of motherhood.  Dandardel Vee Tango produced 11 colts and 9 fillies, 2 of which we have retained, Dandardel Vee Georgette and Dandardel Tango Melody.

            Dandardel Vee Georgette (by Farnley Kernel LOM) was foaled in 1992. Much to J.D.’s pride and joy this mare excelled in halter classes and the heavy harness hitch. During the years she not only gave us great pleasure at Welsh shows but also at weddings, parades, and the 4-H petting zoo. Later she filled in for leadline and costume classes for great-grandson Michael. 

            We want to express our thanks and appreciation to the owners of Dandardel Dream Lady (also by Farnley Kernel), foaled in 1996, and Dandardel Silver Pride (by Menai Silver Buck), a 1999 foal, for making it possible for our “stay at home mom” to receive this honor.
