SWA WELSH
CHAMPION OF THE YEAR SHOW – 12TH SEPTEMBER 2010
It
has come to our notice that there are remarks being made in public
stating that there is no
point in showing at the SWA Champion of Champions Show on 12th
September because the result is a foregone conclusion.
Apart from the fact that
this statement is absolute rubbish, cowardly not to put your name on it, more
importantly it amounts to defamation of the judge and to libel.
We think we
know who the perpetrators are and they are warned that if it can be proven,
their membership of the SWA will be in jeopardy and they will be reported to the
Welsh Pony and Cob Society as behaving in a manner that reflects badly on the
Society.
Such stupid comments are not what we would expect our members to
publish and such conduct is prejudicial to the good name of the Association and
the Society. If you cannot support the events the SWA puts on and encourage
others to do the same, then perhaps you should reconsider your membership of the
Association!

ROYAL WELSH 2010 WINNERS
In 2010 the non qualifier classes for
ridden Section Cs and Ds were moved to the Monday from Thursday which was very
lucky for those competitors because weatherwise that was the best day of the
show. Later on the main ring was once again a sea of mud after Tuesday
afternoon and night’s rain. In the ridden C’s Jan Mann was sixth with her mare
WYKEN WELSH POPPY.and
her grandson...Maerton Jack Daniels 3yr old sec
C gelding, Twmbarlwm Napoleon/Maerton Mayfly by Wyken Rob Roy/Wyken Welsh
poppy, also did his first RWAS 2010 - 7th and best gelding 3yr old filly/geld
sec C.
Wyken Welsh Poppy below
Maerton Jack Daniels

pics compliments of The Event Photographer
Rob and Karen Curtis's Dhanak RS was placed 11th.
Katie Chappell and Les Rayfield’s KENTCHURCH DELTA was fourth in the Welsh Cob
gelding class. There were no members in the first six in the Welsh Cob
stallion class.
The Section A judge Gwyndaf Edwards of
the Fronbach Stud had some big classes to judge and seemed to favour the Hill
Ponies. Sue Smith was fifth in the first class of the day in a big class of
yearling colts with AFAN SEBASTIAN Gordon Hunter was eleventh in the two year
old colt class with his homebred FIVEIRON TOP GUN. In the two year old filly or
gelding class Gill Killey’s homebred TREFYNYS TAFFETA was fourth.
The Section B classes were judged by
Deidre Chambers of the Ardgrange Stud. Entries were down on previous years but
there were some good quality animals forward. Jamie Frost won the two year old
filly or gelding class showing Les & Lorraine Partridge’s ROSEDALE MARHKERITA.
In the three year old filly or gelding class Eunice Jarvis’s MILLCROFT ISOLDE
was sixth. The four to seven year old brood mare class was won by John & Maggie
Carter’s homebred MILLCRFOT LOTUS, shown by John and Anthony Carter. Lotus’
foal was second in the filly foal class. In the senior brood mare class Pat &
Tony Fillingham’s homebred STOCKHAM MELODY was fifth and their foal, STOCKHAM
MINSTRAL was fourth in the colt foal class
T J Roberts
of the Pistyll Stud judged the Section C’s who were lucky and had the best end
of the main ring on Thursday where they did have patches of green grass! Steve
Patch’s homebred RIDGEHILL REBECCA was fourth in the barren mare or gelding four
years and over class. Rebecca was the only pony belonging to a member that I
could find in the results.
Gwyn Jones
of the Fronarth Stud had the daunting task of judging the large classes of
Section D’s...Calvin Higgs showed the yearling colt SOLLOWAY VERSACE for his
father Tony and was third in the class. Again this was the only member I could
find in the results. The winner of the senior brood mare class, Julia Evans
homebred Haighmoor Glain went on to win the Prince of Wales Cup and the Cuddy’s.
The Welsh
Part Bred were judged by D E Burking who judged at our Annual Medal Show. They
had to cope with the centre of the main ring on Thursday which by then was like
a ploughed field. I could not find any members listed in the results.
The HOYS
ridden classes were held on the last day, Thursday, thankfully in the horse
ring. In the section B class there were about 30 entries forward! John &
Maggie Carter’s homebred MILLCROFT ISKA ROC was third. Above him in second
place was Joyce Newbery’s Eyarth Osprey whom she bought from Jacky Wilson last
Autumn. Unfortunately I do not have the Section D results.
The WHP
classes were judges by Claire Willis-Burton, a member of the SWA and Jacky
Webb. Elizabeth Lauder won several rosettes, in the not exceeding 122 cms she
was fourth with GORFELYN GO LIGHLY and third with her homebred SKELWITH ROCKETS
QUEEN OF OAKS and fourth with MORLYN WELSH JOY in the not exceeding 138cms
class.
Well done
everyone. Please do let me know if I have missed any one out so that I can
include them for the Autumn Newsletter.

SHOW CUPS AND
TROPHIES
This is an appeal for anyone who has ever won a SWA cup or
trophy to look and see if they have still got it, we are missing a few cups
and in spite of the signed receipts accepting full responsibility whilst in
their care, people deny still having them. Before going to the expense
of replacing these missing cups, we would ask everyone to check extra
carefully. If you find you do have one of the SWA’s cups please
return it to a committee member or the relevant show secretary.
We intend to start a list of people who have not returned cups and they
will not be allowed to take any in the future and we may publish in the Spring
Newsletter a list of those cups for which we have receipts but which the
people who signed for them deny having.
PHOTOGRAPHS
FOR WEBSITE
Please
keep sending in photographs of ponies and cobs which have either done well and
are owned by a member or ones that have been bred in the area. They must be
good clear photographs of the ANIMAL. Also any interesting stories about
ponies or cobs which would not necessarily do well in the show ring but do so
much in advertising the attributes of the Welsh – the show ring is not the be
all and end all of everything!! Rob’s e-mail address is
karenofpolmesk@btconnect.com. If you do not have e-mail send the
photographs to Rob and he will scan them in.
