The Stud has a few carefully
selected mares, selected on type, movement and character. We go for the type of
pony that is able to do a job of work. In our Stud’s bloodlines you will find
mainly a combination of Coed Coch S and Coed Coch P bloodlines, with the
addition of other valuable old blood mostly from North Wales.

One of our
Stud’s foundation mares was the bay Lacy Sable by Gredington Andreas
by Coed Coch Planed, out of Dryfe Selina by Coed Coch Trydar by Coed
Coch Saled. Although Sable had two rather direct lines to Coed Coch
Planed, she was very much like Coed Coch Saled and not just in
colour. Unfortunately Lacy Sable died of a colic in 2006, in foal to
Langevoren Reuben by Bengad Dogberry, out of Sunwillow Monte Rosa.
Our world has never been the same since. Sable was this “just once
in a lifetime pony”, we did not own her, she owned us. We could put
Sable to any stallion and she would give us a good foal. Lacy Sable
is the foundation mare of our “S” line. |

Luckily Sable
gave us two daughters and three sons.
Her daughters are Powys Sian, grey, by Coed Coch Bleddyn and Powys
Seren, grey, by Waxwing Hillbilly.
Both Sian and Seren are brood mares for the Stud now.
Three of Sables’ sons are currently doing their job as stockgetters,
Powys Shon by Blackhill Picalo and Powys Sprite by Heniarth Quinnell,
both at the Julmar Stud of the Devenney
family in Lancashire. Powys Sant by Waxwing Hillbilly was two years at the Reed
Family’s Haverford Stud in South East Wales and is now ridden by
miss India Latter. |

The second
foundation mare is the grey mare Lacy Fleur, by Sunwillow Thun, grandson
of Coed Coch Planed and Coed Coch Seren Wen. Fleur is out of Crossways
Maybe, full sister to Crossways Merle who is out of Ready Token Glen
Bride, both Merle and Glen Bride being Royal Welsh Champions. Fleur is
not really Crossways bred but there is Ready Token and Coed Coch blood
in her too. Lacy Fleur is the foundation mare of our “F” line. |

The
first foal to be born out of Lacy Fleur at our Stud, was Powys Jack
Flash by Gredington Calon Lan. We sold him back to Colin Tibbey, who
sold him on as a gelding. He is now, after being broken to ride by Mandy
Burchell-Small, Rowfantina Stud, doing one hell of a job in every ridden
discipline you can think of for the Thompson Family from Salcombe, Devon.
They think the world of him, he has filled more than one table with cups
and rosettes for them. In 2010 he is again selected for
the All Breed Horse of the year Show.
We have retained two daughters and one son of Fleur in the Stud: firstly
the chestnut mare Powys Ffiona, by Rhydyfelin Story, by Bengad Rush out
of Rhydyfelin Silk.
And by Waxwing Hillbilly, Fleur gave us her grey son Powys Fizz. He is
still owned by the Stud, now however doing his job as a stockgetter at
the Richards and Liberty Studs. With them lives another Fleur
daughter at the moment, Powys Florence by Langevoren Reuben. In 2008
Fleur had a chestnut fillyfoal Powys Fioled, that we have retained. |

Powys Sian was
Lacy Sable’s first foal to be born at our Stud. When we purchased her
dam, Lacy Sable, she was in foal to Coed Coch Bleddyn. From the moment
Sian was born there was this “I am special” thing about her. Today she
is a good moving brood mare still in her prime.
In 2010 she gave us
a grey filly foal, Powys Synnu, by Powys Sant. |

Powys Seren is
out of Lacy Sable by Waxwing Hillbilly. We chose Waxwing Hillbilly
because of the Clan Pip, Rhydyfelin combination and Criban Glory Be in
his pedigree. When Seren was first shown as a two year old at the
International Show in Waregem, Belgium she won the Reserve Youngstock
Championship.
In 2010 we showed
her lightly again and she won her class and the Reserve Adult
Championship at the show in Vrouwenpolder, Zeeland. |

The chestnut mare
Powys Ffiona is out of Lacy Fleur by the Champion stallion Rhydyfelin
Story.
Ffiona is a
very good mover and a terrific broodmare. In 2009 she gave us a lovely
filly foal, Powys Faith, that won her class and became Reserve Young Stock Champion at
the show in Vrouwenpolder, Zeeland. (Please see our News page).
In 2010 she gave us a lovely filly foal again, this time a palomino, by
Powys Sant. |
