Coed Coch Barnwr
White
grey stallion foaled in 1971 photo at taken July 06 at 35 years old years old! A fantastic pony who has
taught us so much in the years that we have had him and is my Pride and Joy! We
feel very honoured that we are the final guardians of his lovely old man and now
have a deeply in bedded vision of what we aim to breed here at Runshaw. There
aren't many Coed Coch ponies alive these days and we are thrilled to own one ,
especially of the calibre as Barnwr along with his daughters
Pinina Roulette
(now sadly deceased),
Thistledown Walnut
and
Runshaw
Ladi Gwyneth (now at the
Trevalyn stud)
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 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.
Available to a few mares from June 2008
£250 stud fee
Please book early for limited places in 2009 at his last season at public stud!!
His fee for 2009 will be £400, it'll be your last ever chance!

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.
At stud to approved mares
£200 NFFR
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. Click on his picture for action shots!
At stud to approved mares
£200 nffr
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!

Not at public stud this season
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.
At stud to approved mares
He has consistently put his type and beautiful head on his foals
£200 NFFR
picture taken September 2006, and rather fat!
Runshaw Hafog
Bay colt foaled 2001, 4 whites and blaze. Future
Show and Stud stallion by Coed Coch Atebiad and out of the beautiful mare
Standwell Heidie .This little chap combines the blood of our best ponies and
will hopefully be a valuable asset to our breeding program, in our aim to produce
the likes of our stallion Coed Coch Barnwr. At 3 years old he attended the Royal Welsh show where he stood 10th in the 3 year
old colt class his 3rd show and first outing since a yearling where he went to
the RWAS and although unplaced was kept in after the first cut and the fabulous Coed Coch Open day in 2002.

Not at public stud this season
Runshaw Seren y Gogledd
Bay roan colt foaled 26th April 2003, 3 whites and Star/Stripe.
By Coed Coch Atebiad and out of Standwell Selina . Tremendous big , strong colt foal combining 100% Coed Coch bloodlines, bone, substance and overall stamp that we have been striving to breed. Photo taken in September 2006 at 3 years old, and really thinking he's something and although very gawky looks to have the makings of a future useful stallion! He has a superb length of rein , good bone , tail set , temperament , big mover with plenty of action in front aswell as most importantly behind and is to be retained as future Stud Stallion.
Runshaw Superstar
Chestnut roan colt 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 absolutely stunning and the Chestnut roan version of his grandsire Coed Coch Superstar, hence his name, and if he grows up to be a roan version of his Royal Welsh Agricultural Society winning sire Churtoncroft Aries, what an asset he'll be!!!!! He really is a big strapping colt with loads of quality, substance and fabulous action as you would expect being line bred to the great Coed Coch Bari.
This is a real show stallion of the future with bloodlines that are getting harder and harder to get.
Now returned from another short holiday in Wales and maturing into a very special colt who we hope will fill his dads shoes for the future as show and stud stallion.
