Llanalyn Stud
Gogledd Cymru
Welsh Mountain Ponies In North Wales

Our broodmares at Llanalyn all descend from traditional North Wales bloodlines made world famous by Coed Coch and Gredington.
 
Matings are planned with a great deal of thought and care.  We don’t think of our mares as ‘machines’ and don’t necessarily breed from them every year.  Our aim is to produce ponies that are hardy and sound, with the scope, quality and movement to enable them to give and receive a lifetime of pleasure. 
 
Some of the mares at Llanalyn we think deserve a special mention – and they are:-
 

Little Miss is directly line bred to the legendary Coed Coch Planed.  She is an exceptional paddock mare who has never failed to produce a quality foal.  She is the dam of 2 Champions to date – Llanalyn Alaw and Llanalyn Little Gem – but watch this space!
 
Llanalyn Mist
By Kinmel Mikado x Llanalyn Misty Morning by Saltersford Justin

Mist was a big winner for us in the showring as a yearling and was shown once as a five year old, winning the Novice Brood Mare title at the Denbigh & Flint County Show.  Her first foal, Llanalyn Music, was a County Show prizewinner on his first appearance in the showring.  This year's foal  is by Polaris Lionheart.

We are very privileged to have at Llanalyn three beautifully bred mares from the late Mr Shem Jones’ Bwlch y Gwynt Stud.  Shem Jones was for many years Head Stud Groom at Coed Coch and the handler of what we consider to be the greatest Welsh Mountain Pony of all time, Coed Coch Madog.  Please visit www.nerwynponies.co.uk for more history of Coed Coch.

Polaris Dinah
By Polaris Royal Flush x Twyford Diamond by Twyford Puzzle"
 

We were so very pleased to purchase, and bring home to North Wales, the lovely old mare Polaris Dinah from the Polaris Stud Dispersal Sale in 2004.  She produced a beautiful filly foal for us in May 2005, by Nerwyn Telor.  We have named her Llanalyn Daisy May.
