Weydown Swallowtail (2015)
Lemonshill Falcon x
Cottrell Little Gem |
2nd place at The Royal Welsh Show 2015 - Weydown Royal Consort
Denis was delighted when asked by Melvyns owner Elle Horler
to show him at the Royal Welsh Show......
We thought his type, coupled with substance, bone and correct
conformation, would suit the judge Miss Fiona Leadbitter of the
Thornberry Stud and so it proved.
In a large class of yearling colts, with many ponies who'd enjoyed
success throughout the season, Melvyn excelled himself in finsihing 2nd
behind the outstanding Waxwing Peru.
This capped off a very successful season for Elle andher sister Hannah,
who produced Melvyn beautifully throughout, picking up many wins at
medal shows throughout the UK.
Congratulations from all at Weydown!! |

A FILLY foal!!
We are thrilled to bits with this filly from our beautiful
old mare COTTRELL LITTLE GEM - just what we'd ordered.

Colt foal No.2 - Weydown Romeo
It would appear that our brief run of fillies has come to
an abrupt end BUT we couldn't be happier with this big, scopey foal by
the Supreme ridden and in-hand champion Lemonshill Falcon out of our
daughters Sophie' mare WEYDOWN TABITHA, who herself is regally bred
being by our senior stallion Cwrtycadno Cadfridog and out of the lovely
Carolinas Bewitched who was by Carolinas Purple Emperor and out of
Downland Philomel.
This colt is a fantastic, effortless mover with a big frame, plenty of
bone, and great at both ends.
Surely a great ridden prospect for the future?

A new pony!!
Very excited to announce that Touchstone will be joining the
stud as our future show and an outcross stallion for our Cadfridog
mares..... with grateful thanks to Richard and Mei at Heniarth.
Having admired Eyarth Windflower, since seeing her as a two year old, we
couldn't possibly pass up the opportunity to buy a colt with two crosses
of this lovely mare. Touchstone' sire is the very promising colt of
Ingrid Delaitre's; Adagio de l'Aurore, who is by Heniarth Wood-Wind and
out of the beautiful mare Etincelle Ravignan and his dam the full sister
to Wood-Wind, being by the RWAS Champion Lemonshill Top Note and out of
Windflower.

One for the
future??
After much deliberation we have decided to retain Harvey for
the foreseeable future.
Having watched his sire, perform
beautifully, after only 4 weeks under saddle for his new owner and with
his grandsire Cwrtycdano Cadfridog now 24, we thought it might be fun to
run on and show Harvey during 2014. We think he is a very balanced,
quality colt with good limbs, conformation and fantastic movement, so it
will be interesting to see how he matures. |

A fond farewell
We said a sad goodbye to Arum and Reflection or "Harris" who both made
the long journey to Scotland, Arum returning to the Waxwing Stud
following her loan spell with us and Reflection off to start a new life
with Greig Stables and family.
Very grateful to Tom and David for
entrusting us with this lovely little mare, who produced two outstanding
colt foals for us, but sadly not the longed for filly.
Of course
the very best of luck go to Greig and Harris! |

her beautiful mare Etincelle Ravignan.
Sadly, his covering season

everyone's control, but he returns home to grace our paddockss with his
