Mares

Below are the details of our small group of broodmares, all of which are of Coed Coch breeding and/or stamp. Some you may recognise and others that have never seen the inside of a show ring for various reasons but generally not their own. Here at Runshaw our pleasure comes from watching the mares content with their foals in the summer sunshine like the picture above although all are correct and true to type with big movement and capable to show at any level. Our aim is to have quality ponies with good bone, feet, action and superb temperaments which they can pass on to their offspring.

Please click on the photograph below for more details included extended pedigree of the selected pony

Grey mare foaled Chestnut in 1989. A maternal sister to our up and coming stallion Churtoncroft Rhodri, as they are both out of the lovely mare Coed Coch Ruby. Ruth is by the fabulous Gredington Simwnt son Saltersford Justin who left some of the best show/breeding stock at the Lacy stud. Although we don't feel she'll go back in the show ring she was placed 8th in the Senior broodmare class at The Royal Welsh 2002 and also 3rd at the Royal of England Show too!! We are very excited at having Ruth here with her fabulous breeding and action , which can be seen on the pictures on her pedigree page which can be found by clicking on her picture alongside. .

Runshaw Romeo

Runshaw Rhiannon

Palomino mare blaze and 4 whites foaled in 1988. Half sister to Standwell Heidie and to Fosterhouses Super Sam. She is another mare I have wanted for several years and now have been able to purchase!! She has type, action, temperament and quality that is hoped will leave us some very nice stock in time to come. We also had Selina's full sister the big scopey Palomino mare Standwell Snowdrop but she sadly had to be put down in May 2002 so this lovely mare is all the more precious now. Her stunning colt Runshaw Seren Y Gogledd by Coed Coch Atebiad is retained as future show/stud stallion. Her equally beautiful, if not better, colt by Churtoncroft Aries named Runshaw Superstar is retained as future stud stallion and is currently exceeding all our expectations!

Chestnut mare blaze and 4 whites foaled in 1990, leased in 1998 and bought in 2000.She has had many homes and travelled many miles since the death of her breeder in 1995/1996 but has certainly found a permanent home now. Her stock up to now here at 'Runshaw' include 'Runshaw Heloise' by Penwisg Sior and both 'Runshaw Hafog' and 'Runshaw Hyfryd' by Coed Coch Atebiad , she also produced a beautiful filly in 2004 Runshaw Heddwen . All quite exceptional and all being retained. Heidie was shown as a Barren mare in 2000 and stood 10th at the Royal Welsh, she was also Reserve Champion Section A at Derbyshire and has stood 3rd and 4th at the Royal Lancashire Agricultural Society Show.

Black mare with stripe and 2 hind whites foaled in 1988. Beautiful mare with superb action and type. Hopefully going to produce more of her like and is now another beautiful mare added to our herd by the kind permission of Alan Ashley Roberts of the Coed Bach stud. She is almost identically bred to our superb up and coming colt Runshaw Hafog as their Dams are full sisters and their sires are 7/8th brothers!! Her daughter Runshaw Ffantasi by Coed Coch Atebiad retained, her son Runshaw Barwyn now sold to the Danath stud on the Wirral Peninsula by Churtoncroft Aries and Runshaw Brenin by Fosterhouses Supersam and currently retained.

Dark dun mare blaze and 4 whites, foaled in 1992. Leased in May 2000 and purchased May 2001. A lovely shaped mare and the very rare 'P line' of Coed Coch breeding. She is a fantastic mover and really covers the ground. Unshown as yet and is the dam to the beautiful Palomino filly by Penwisg Sior - named 'Runshaw Pelydrog' Sadly lost a beautiful filly by Churtoncroft Aries 2003 had a beautiful big upstanding colt Runshaw Penaig in 2006 by Aries, retained and can be seen on the youngstock page.

Grey mare blaze and 4 whites foaled in 1996 , leased from October 1999 and purchased in October 2000. After being so greatly impressed with her sire Coed Coch Barnwr we set about trying to find a son of his, which at the time we couldn't (and have only recently found the full brother to Walnut in Sunderland) We then looked for a daughter of his instead and having almost gone to Fayre Oaks for Walnut, traced her to Worcestershire. We finally persuaded Mr. and Mrs. Northall of the 'Astwoodcourt Stud' to finally part with her and she is now part of our band of broodmares, thanks Mark and Sheila! Her foals for us here , they are 'Runshaw Wennol' a Section C now in Kent and 'Runshaw Welsh Honey' retained, by Coed Coch Atebiad, and Runshaw Welsh Poppy another beautiful dun filly by Churtoncroft Aries then full siblings to Poppy being Runshaw Wynn Ap Aries and Runshaw William Ap Aries.

Grey mare, foaled Chestnut blaze and 1 small white. Leased from Maxine Marshall.

Beautiful grey mare by Coed Coch Llesol and out of the lovely Bay mare Churtoncroft Hetty . She is beautifully bred and has a direct female line to the fabulous moving mare Coed Coch Sensigl! Hopefully to be covered by our stallion Churtoncroft Aries to combine the action of his and Churtoncroft Hetty's sire , Galchog Amlyn (son of Coed Coch Bari) along with the blood of Coed Coch Sensigl to hopefully breed an outstanding moving foal. As you can see she has a fabulous pedigree (which as usual can be seen by clicking her picture) and is hoped will produce some lovely foals for us in time . She is a fabulous mover as her breeding would suggest and which she has just shown us now she has joined the other mares.

Produced a beautiful colt by Churtoncroft Aries in 2006 named Runshaw Henadur who was sold to the Trevalyn stud.

Grey mare, foaled Chestnut blaze and 1 small white. Leased from the Grant Family in Dorset.

Thank God for the internet!! finally this beautiful mare by Coed Coch Llesol (same as Churtoncroft Hyfryd above) and whose dam is the gorgeous Coed Coch Serena is here with us!! She is therefore half sister aswell to our wonderful mare Standwell Selina and is covered this year by Churtoncroft Aries to double up again with the wonderful Coed Coch Siwrnai dam line.

What more could i ask of this beautiful mare than a Chestnut roan filly foal by Churtoncroft Aries with 4 big whites and a blaze retained at stud and named Runshaw Seren Arian!

Red Roan filly with star foaled in 1999. A beautiful filly by our own Stallion Penwisg Sior and out of the gorgeous Standwell Heidie. She has scope, action, bone and substance, we are delighted with her and she is retained as a future brood and show mare.

In 2007 she has produced a beautiful big chestnut roan colt who we have named Runshaw Helfydd by Churtoncroft Aries who is sold to the Trevalyn Stud as future show and stud stallion.

Grey Roan (born bay) filly blaze and 2 whites, foaled in 1999.Again by Penwisg Sior and out of Chetwynd Lily, she is a lovely filly with tons of quality, action, bone and substance. She is the one the visitors always admire and is retained as future broodmare. Hopefully making her show ring debut sometime soon.

Filly by Fosterhouses Supersam -Runshaw Ladi Lilith and now sold to the Marik Stud, Denmark

Dun filly with a star foaled in 2001. Again by Coed Coch Atebiad and out of Coed Coch Barnwr's daughter Thistledown Walnut. She is a lovely put together filly and has a gorgeous temperament as well as tremendous action making her an exciting future show mare.

Palomino filly (turning grey) foaled in 2001. By our stallion Penwisg Sior and out of our mare Penwisg Helen , this filly combines colour, 100% Coed Coch breeding (and of course P'Line) and action to die for, all this combined with the most pleasant temperament possible in a pony. This is certainly one that is stopping as a future broodmare and possible future show mare too if she carries on blossoming into a beautiful swan!!

Produced a beautiful grey colt in 2007 by Fosterhouses Supersam named Runshaw Pendragon,

Dun filly foaled 26th April 2003, 2 whites and Star. By Coed Coch Atebiad and out of Standwell Heidie. Beautiful filly foal and she knows it! Again a lovely big foal with quality and beautiful breeding. To be retained as future show/broodmare. When she can be bothered she ,like her brothers and sister, is a very big moving filly although she doesn't believe in using too much energy unless necessary and should hopefully be out on the show ring next year if we can motivate her.

Black filly foaled 23rd April 2003, 3 whites and blaze. By Coed Coch Atebiad and out of Standwell Black Fashion . Superb moving filly using lots of knee and hock but covering a tremendous amount of ground and all in such a quality and appealing package! She is looking to a very exciting future broodmare! To be retained. This filly oozes quality and type.

Beautiful Triple Coed Coch Bari grand-daughter. Out of Nantdywyll Modlon and by our stallion Churtoncroft Aries, she has a fabulous pedigree and is hoped will produce some lovely foals for us.

Has produced a stunning red roan filly to Penwisg Sior 2007 named Runshaw Meirwen and retained!

Dark Chestnut mare blaze and 4 small whites, foaled in 1991. Purchased at Northampton Welsh pony and Cob Sale in 1998. Very thin and having Mud Rash quite badly , lots of people thought I had gone barmy! All the time I kept telling people she was something very nice and nobody believed me. After lots of TLC and feed she came out the following April and was Champion Section A and Bronze medal winner at Lancs WPCS spring show under Mr. Edwards of the Fron-Bach Stud. She has had 3 foals for us to date, 'Runshaw Andreas' (now pursuing a ridden career) and 'Runshaw Ap Sior' (sold to the Birchcourt Stud, Hampshire) who we feel are both going to take after their mothers winning ways and both sired by Penwisg Sior. Runshaw Anwen a filly by Churtoncroft Aries who is now owned by the Tanfanaris Stud and her 2006 filly Runshaw Anwyled has been purchased by the newly formed Dragon Parc stud.

Black/Brown mare foaled in 1992, purchased in 1997 because we fell in love at first sight with her! She is a bit of a madam at times but it is all welsh fire and no nastiness at all! She is a fantastic moving mare and although she has been shown she hates it! Sometimes difficult to catch without a helicopter and dart gun (when away from home!) she gets away with it due to her outstanding beauty!! Her foals here at Runshaw are, 'Runshaw Lili-Lon' by Penwisg Sior and 'Runshaw Ladi-Gwyneth' by Coed Coch Barnwr both retained as future broodmares. Runshaw Lucifer sired by Churtoncroft Aries is now in Scotland , his full brother Runshaw Llewelyn sold to the Abertyleri Stud.

Dark Chestnut mare foaled in 1995 , proven broodmare and always foals easily and does her foals extremely well. Both foals have been sold as potential show animals and we feel sure they will do very well indeed for their new owners. Friars Swanky Boy was the full brother to the legendary producers Friars Freelance and Golden Boy, and although Swanky Boy was not extensively used he produced the likes of this mare ! She has produced 2 beautiful colts for us, Runshaw Cariadog now in Devon as a ridden pony and Runshaw Calonnog with the Colliers also as a future ridden pony to Churtoncroft Aries she produced a flashy chestnut colt names Runshaw Cadno, now sold to the Larapinta Stud.
