GELDINGS
Often referred to as my "waste of space ponies" because of their lack of use on a stud, I truly believe geldings are undervalued. Their consistency and steadiness of nature should be commended as they usually make to most fabulous alrounders and schoolmasters under saddle.
Oaklyvaile Gentleman in Suede
(Bondleigh Lady in Silk x Arturo)
Welsh Section D x Arab
Full Pedigree: http://www.allbreedpedigree.com/oaklyvaile+gentleman+in+suede
Suede is quite simply the love of my life and totally irreplaceable. He chose to follow me in preference to Silk at just 2 hours old and from that moment on we have had a most remarkable partnership. Broken in and accompanying me to college, he has excelled in all areas with far to many results to list but winning many times in Showing, Dressage, Sidesaddle and Show Jumping and being highly placed at Cross-country and One Day Events. He always jumps clear rounds and is a lunatic out Hunting (something we have done once and only once!) In 2008, he became the National Welsh Part Bred Horse Champion in hand and under saddle. With a cheeky sense of humour Suede always knows how to push my buttons and is always getting up to mischief, but I wouldn't change a thing about him.
Polmesk Mighty Murray
(Tyfry White Satin x Gleiniant Cossack)
Welsh Section A
Full Pedigree: http://www.allbreedpedigree.com/polmesk+mighty+murray
Murray, who's sire was awarded Premium Stallion 3 times at Glanusk Show has recently been gelded and broken. He won on his first outing under saddle at a dressage competition at Bicton College. He is now currently on loan making 2 little girls very happy as their "Princess Pony" and learning to love pink, as apparently thats his colour!!!!!
Owain Glyndwr
(Breeding Unknown)
Irish Thoroughbred
Sold to Christina Thomas of the Tyncwm Stud
Owen was purchased while I was at University when I was looking to improve my riding and required something a little bigger with a bold jump and that was certainly what I got. Owen was remarkably fast at Cross Country and could clear any height fence. Quite simply, if you pointed him at it, he would jump it! He gave me much needed confidence over fences and I even did some BSJA with him before I sold him. Tragically he broke his neck in the field 10 months after his sale. R.I.P. Owen :-(
Ingodown Lynton
(Lisvane Lifris x Cyfair Owen)
Welsh Section A
Now in Cornwall teaching Ace and her sisters to ride
Full Pedigree: http://www.allbreedpedigree.com/ingodown+lynton
Lynton was given to me by the stud I used to work for. Once gelded and the breaking process started I found a super home for him where he could continue his education and do loads of fun stuff with the kids!
Ingodown Fanta
(Friars Flying Lady x Cyfair Owen)
Welsh Section A
Now in Cornwall on "leadrein duties" with Carole Opie
Full Pedigree: http://www.allbreedpedigree.com/ingodown+fanta
Given to a friend by the same stud, I acquired Fanta when her circumstances changed. Being Suede's "mini me" the two were often referred to as "the mare and foal". I also began Fanta's education and once ready for a rider sent him to another friend to become a lead rein pony.
