Our Cob of a lifetime

The Stud was formed following the purchase of our Senior Stallion LLANARTH JUSTICE. Bought initially as a driving pony for Geoff and Wendy, they were encouraged to show him with some success and so it began. Karen spent her childhood at many of the major shows across the country and it was only natural that ten years later she would also begin showing herself.

We are a small family run stud and although a hobby, we all have full time jobs, the ponies are very much part of our lives. Although ridden ponies are not produced from home, we have bred and owned several Welsh ponies & cobs which have excelled as ridden ponies in and out of the show ring.

Our aim is to breed and produce Welsh Ponies & Cobs with the potential to be shown in-hand and under saddle. We also breed and exhibit Poland, Pekin & Sussex Bantams. Karen is a founder member of the North Eastern Counties WPCA and is currently Treasurer.


 We have a selection of homebred stock for sale each year of all ages.

Visitors are very welcome but please phone first.
