TREFERTHUR STUD

Bred in a natural environment.

The name Treferthur dates back to the 15th century and generally means township. In this case it specifically refers to the township of Criccieth, Gwynedd, North Wales. The Criccieth stud of Welsh Mountain Ponies is located within what would have been the township of Treferthur and its on the beautiful Criccieth ponies with their Revel bloodlines that this stud is founded, hence the name.

My love of the warmblood riding horse had always existed until my introduction to the Welsh Mountain Pony by the joint founder of this stud Eirian Lloyd Evans, whose father is the behind one of the country's largest Welsh Mountain Pony studs at Criccieth.

To see the pony herds running on the mountains of Snowdonia, fields full of foals and an old mare, Revel Hey Lady , left me with a lifetimes addiction to this spirited, hardy breed. As a result, two select mares Revel Helena and Plasderw Sunray left for Bedfordshire. Their two filly foals Treferthur Hera and Sunshine now partly form the stud foundation stock.

Treferthur stud is nestled on the Northern edge of the Chiltern Hills, The nearest thing to the Mountain! Strongly influenced by the breeding traditions of the late Mr Emrys Griffiths, Revel and Evan Lloyd Evans, Criccieth, my aim is to breed a versatile pony of type with spirit, to combine conformation , hardiness, versatility, beauty and movement. Not only is their beauty so important but breeding for purpose, strength and working ability are important requirements necessary to retain and ensure that the breed qualities laid down in the Welsh stud Book are preserved for the future..
