King's Bandolier
Kings Bandolier (Creation's King X Lucifer's
Mystery Girl) Exhibited by Mr. & Mrs. Mathew McDougall, Erin, ON.
Trained by Matt and Myrtle McDougall. Bred by Heyl Pony Farm Washington
IL. King's Bandolier was shown by the McDougalls winning a good number
of singles classes, as well as pair classes with King's Madonna. Following
a few successful seasons, having won classes at teh CNE, St. Catherines,
numerous fall fairs, and his Royal Stake win in 1990, he caught the attention
of Mrs. A.C. Thompson, Elmburst, IL. who bought and showed him for the rest
of the 1960's. Doc Flannery had seen the pony exhibited at the Royal
and thought he would be a fine addition to the Thompson Stable. With
Eddie Bruns' training, Bandolier was Champion at the Chicago International
twice, and Reserve once, as well as winning a lot of classes at the shows
throughout the Midwest US. When Mrs. Thompson retired from showing
the pony was returned to the care of the McDougalls. A well deserved
retirement ceremony was held at the 1971 Erin Fall Fair and Bandolier lived
out his days at the Shamrock Stables of Erin, On. (Inducted
