All our homebred and reared colts and stallions are reared as naturally as possible in batchelor groups on grass ensuring not only are they socialised with others and learn heirachy but have ample time to play and develop good strong joints.
This herd system of rearing ensures manners but also longevity with no over loaded joints and extensive lengths of time stood in stables. They are left to grow at their own rates and are never pushed ensuring hardiness and long term soundness while enjoying vital times being youngsters and playing, socialising and developing into the beautiful ponies you see a selection of below both bred here and also bought in.
Most of our stallions still have a 'best mate' and turn out with them when they are ever at home.
Churtoncroft Aries
Chestnut
stallion foaled in 1989 , 3 whites and blaze.
This great stallion needs little introduction as he has won almost every Section A class in the UK at some point as a youngster including Royal Welsh, Glanusk, Lampeter, The Welsh International, all the major County shows , 4 WPCS Medals and lots more! He is renowned for his fabulous big clean front, beautiful head , superb tail set, quality flat bone and breath taking extravagant action. All of which is so sadly lacking in so many stallions these days but which thankfully Aries has in abundance and is passing on to his stock aswell!
He combines the very best breeding within the stud book and it shows! Not only has Aries had a superb show career winning 4 WPCS medals he is also proving to be a fabulous and very prepotent stock getter, his foals are instantly recognisable and their stock in turn have the same quality and out look.

Churtoncroft Pryd
Palomin Stallion foaled in 2000 by the great stallion Churtoncroft Aries and out of the beautiful mare Churtoncroft Pryddest by Coed Coch Reg and out of Coed Coch Anrheg
He has a tremendous action, breeding, type and colour
Lightly but successfully shown as a 3yr old and planned to return to the ring now as a senior stallion
Churtoncroft Rhodri
Grey colt (born chestnut) foaled in 2000 by the great stallion Churtoncroft Aries and out of the beautiful mare Coed Coch Ruby who was a well known show mare in her time. We are hoping Rhodri will follow in their winning footsteps and are sure he will!
He has a breathtaking action and certainly one for the future!
Penwisg Sior
Grey stallion (born Dun) blaze and 2 whites,
foaled in 1991. Bought in 1998 from the late Paul Galea of the Penwisg Stud. Having taken
someone else to see him I was so impressed with him that I bought him myself
there and then while they weren't too sure on him or another! George (Sior) has certainly lived up to his expectations and has
left us some fantastic stock, his bloodlines are almost faultless and he has
stamped his stock with his same outstanding qualities. His stock include
Palominos and Duns and all possess his good action, feet , temperament and
quality.
Fosterhouses Super Sam
Grey colt (born Chestnut) blaze and 4 whites
Foaled in 1998 .Bought as a weaned foal. The last foal of the superb stallion
Coed Coch Superstar he is very precious and everything we feel a Welsh Mountain
pony should be! He combines bone, substance and fantastic action. We feel he is
going to be a superb outcross stallion for our mares as his dam contains the
equally famous Bowdler bloodlines.

This fabulous stallion has been lightly used due to no fault of his own but he is consistently leaving fabulous stock. His only 2 offspring offered for sale have been exported to USA and Denmark.
Churtoncroft Hywel
Chestnut colt foaled in 2000 by Churtoncroft Aries again and out of the 100% Coed Coch bred mare Churtoncroft Hufen. With breathtaking action, bone ,colour, substance and the now increasingly rare 'P line' blood he is a definite one to look out for in the show ring and proving to be a fabulous sire having left some superb foals while away at the Nerwyn Stud.
Returning to Churtoncroft Stud 2011
Runshaw Superstar
Chestnut roan foaled on 28th April 2004, 4 big stockings and a big blaze, by Churtoncroft Aries and out of our beautiful mare Standwell Selina.
He is beautiful young stallion and the Chestnut roan version of his grandsire Coed Coch Superstar, hence his name. Harry really is a big strapping lad with loads of quality, substance, lovely bone, and fabulous action as you would expect being line bred to the great Coed Coch Bari.
He may be available to approved experienced mares this year in his first season.

Huge expressive moving stallion with equally superb breeding.

Wishing him and his new owners lots of fun and luck in and out of the show ring
Born at 1.20am on the 18th April 2006 by Churtoncroft Aries and out of Penwisg Helen a lovely big strong red bay colt with a broad blaze and 3 white socks!
Classy big colt with that little bit of something extra special, tremendous bone, huge front and elevated ground covering action with a bold and positive attitude. This combined with the fantastic 100% pure Coed Coch P line breeding of his dam and tried and tested predominately Coed Coch breeding of his superb sire this is one VERY serious colt for the future as a top class breeding and show stallion.
