Llanfyllin
Stud,
specialising in Welsh Cobs, is set in a gorgeous location on the Wales
Shropshire borders in Powys approximately 12 miles from the historic
market town of Oswestry, Shropshire, 10 miles from Welshpool, 3 miles
from Llanfyllin and five miles from Llanfihangel-yng-Ngwynfa.
The area boasts some of the most beautiful, panoramic scenery in Mid-Wales.
The Stud
started breeding Section D Welsh Cobs in 1980 and many of the foals
we have bred here have gone on to do extremely well in the show ring,
in hand and as performance horses both here and abroad.
Our mares
are all over 14.2 hands and have plenty of substance and bone and carry
the excellent bloodlines of Llanarth, Mathrafal and Brenin Gwalia.
Our aim
is to continue producing foals of quality, size and substance with extravagant
action and wonderful temperament. Our breeding is very well sought after
both when offered privately and at the biannual Welsh Cob & Pony
Society sales at Builth Wells, Powys.
Please
find more information about Welsh cobs and Welsh Mountain Ponies below.
Welsh
Mountain Pony (Section A)
Height: not more than 12 hands
The Welsh
Mountain Pony has developed
over centuries of harsh conditions. This has meant that the breed today
possesses a sound constitution, powerful limbs and great intelligence.
This combines combined with the much-acclaimed Welsh temperament, to
make the ideal children's pony. Welsh mountain
ponies thrive in both hot heat and cooler climes.
Welsh Pony
(Section B)
Height: not more than 13.2 hands
The Welsh
Pony shares many of the attributes of the Welsh Mountain Pony although
as such it excels particularly in riding pony qualities.
Welsh
Ponies served the hill farmers of this region as their only way
of transporting themselves across very rugged terrain and hilly regions.
Their sturdy and tough nature and speed is the result of such selection.
Their temperament and excellent jumping performances make them an attractive
proposition for the young rider, and they acquit themselves well in
both performance competition and the show ring.

true worth.
