I first saw Tulip in January 1986 when looking for something else. The moment I saw her in the brood mare paddock I forgot about the filly I had been planning to buy, I was besotted but Tulip was not for sale. A year later the situation had changed and Tulip came home. She was a truly beautiful mare with the lovliest eyes and sweetest nature. A very determined pony, she never argued but invariably ended up getting her own way. Tulip had been very successfully shown as a filly with major wins at Melbourne Royal and the Victorian All Welsh. I only showed her lightly but her wins included Supreme In Hand Exhibit NSW Feature Show. Her foals were only lightly shown with success and W Carina and W Tempo have bred on extremely well.
