A family-run stud of Welsh Mountain ponies Section A and Welsh ponies Sections B and C, bred from the best old bloodlines. Our Priority is to breed ponies with correct and balanced conformation, free movement and Welsh presence. Tyrcanol ponies are renowned for their exceptional movement and have won at all the major shows in Britain in hand and under saddle. We have exported ponies to many European countries where they have achieved great success for their new owners.

At Tyrcanol we have a breeding herd of around twenty-five Section A mares living out all the year on the Welsh hills. Our section Bs are of an old-fashioned stamp, with good bone and substance and true Welsh character. Many of our breeding mares are daughters or granddaughters of Tyrcanol Master Stephen, a son of the legendary Solway Master Bronze.

The stud has four section C mares bred from Lyn Cwm Coed/Parc Lady bloodlines. Their progeny all have exceptional movement and have been shown with great success under saddle.

We have always bred golden palomino Section As and Bs at Tyrcanol, including Tyrcanol Alice, reserve champion palomino at the Royal Welsh show in 1998.

Each year we have for sale a selection of first class section A and B foals and youngstock, usually including palomino and black foals, by our senior Section A stallions Tyrcanol Apollo, Tyrcanol Galahad and Tyrcanol Corsair.

This spring we will be expecting crops of foals by the outstanding young Section B stallion Tyrcanol Orlando and his full-brother Tyrcanol Rameses.   

In 2008 we will also have for sale some outstanding young stallions, a selection of established Section A brood-mares and some superb fully registered Welsh palominos.

One of the greatest pleasures of breeding Welsh ponies is to see them being enjoyed by children for riding, jumping, cross-country, dressage – and as friends. For this reason, we always have available for sale a selection of first-class mares and geldings broken to ride, including some which have won in the major British shows.

Jeff, Sally and Simon are members of the Welsh Pony and Cob Society panel of Judges and have judged extensively throughout Britain, and in Holland,  Australia and the United States.
