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.

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.
