The Revel Venetia Family

This beautiful mare came to the stud in 1970 after the tragic electrocution of the studs foundation mare Gredington Penlas she was the most successful breeding mare her first foal was Victoria who had the successful stallion Kelcote Boisterous and Maestir Odette who was the sire of Maestir Odessey then came Venus who produced Verity who was champion in the Royal Welsh for Jenny Richmond and Veronica who produced some very nice offspring in Valiant who went to the Oldhope stud and then went onto the Revel and then onto the Moorcock stud Veronique who went to the Walstead stud and has just died at 24 Venturer who went to Maesgwyn ( hence how Hyfryd came to Baledon for a while) Valparaiso went to Holland to Arthur Sproken and sadly he died quite young Vencidor who was a premium stallion for some years now he is at the Highland stud of Kathleen James I have retained her last foal Verronika who is at present out on loan then Venetia had the 2 stunning prizewinning colts Viscount and Viking both went to Australia Viscount to Wendy MacDonald in Perth and Viking to Mavis McConville  at the Ski Centre!! at Mertleford then came Vivacious who went to the Meastir Stud as a yearling just after she won the Royal Welsh and the last was Tim Pritchard's Virginia who has foundered such a wonderful line of ponies for him sadly Venetia died quite young

Vivacious had a lot of good stock for Ann Daunt at Maestir one being the stallion Maestir Valiant who I am so delighted to be having this year to bring the blood back into the stud when Ann Daunt gave up the ponies a lot of the stud went to Sandy Anderson of the Thistledown stud and this line has been a big influence on his stud

Venetia was responsible for the most wonderful Royal Welsh in 1980 both Vivacious and Venus won their classes and Virginia was 2nd to Jubilation in the novice mare class and Veronica was 4th in a large foal class in the progeny class her 3 daughters all by Janus Vivacious Venus Virginia won the mare progeny class the sire group another group by Janus was 2nd and Venetia's group were both overall champion and res it was quite a day!!

The Coed Coch Dunos Family

 Coed Coch Dunos came as my 21st birthday present with Gredington Blodyn and what a pair they turned out to be both in the ring and as breeding mares Dunos was the most elegant pony with the most beautiful head and front her one fault she produced too many colts!! but so many of them went on to produce such good stock for so many stud Pipkin went to the Lippens stud Pippit went to Holland and was one of the founding sires out there followed by Jeremiah who did so well for Harold Zoet Jolyon went to the Sunwillow stud Jonathon foundered a dynasty of ponies for the Swinford Stud Jacob went to Germany One of her few fillies Chelsea Model went to the Frongoch stud and has been a real influence on their ponies

Her daughter that served me well was Jubilation winning the Royal Welsh on 3 occasions and 2nd once and eventually being Female Champion at both the Royal of England  and the Royal Welsh  Jubilation produced her 3 best progeny to Weston Wyseworth being the lovely mare I have retained Worthwhile and the lovely mare Sandy Anderson has a Thistledown Chanel and Wyseman who has proved his worth as a stallion, Worthwhile has produced some very nice stock so the line is still going strong after all these years the only trouble with this family they are not the best of filly producers it took Dunos 13 years to have Jubilation!! and Jubilation took almost as long to get Worthwhile hence the names!!
