As the new year unfolds,
it is time for those
involved in breeding and
showing Welsh ponies and
cobs to look forward
but I can't let 2009
pass without recording a
unique achievment for a
local Welsh cob stud.
2009 was the first time
that a Welsh
cob produced in this
region has won
the George Prince of
Wales Cup. First
presented in 1908 to
promote the breeding of
Welsh cobs of the old
type; the cup, which is
currently worth over
£4000, is the ultimate
accolade for those
showing Welsh cobs in
hand.
In the Autumn of 2008,
George Mitchell and
Clare Granger of The
Dycott Stud, Chingford,
Essex took delivery of a
lean two year old colt
from the Pennal Stud,
Aberystwyth in
preparation for showing
in hand during 2009.
In April 2009, the colt,
Pennal Brynmor, was
champion at Lampeter
Stallion Show and later
at Glanusk Show; the two
most prestigous shows
before the Royal Welsh
Show in July. Pennal
Brymor also won at the
Suffolk County Show,
beating our own
Fivewinds Ffanci into
second place. I am not
always so magnanimous in
defeat but it may be
some time before I stand
next to a Prince of
Wales Cup winner again.
By the time of the Royal
Welsh Show last july,
George Mitchell was
driving Pennal Brynmor ten
miles a day on the roads
around Chingford. The
colt was fit to trot for
his life and he had to
because by the time of
his 3 year old class on
the Tuesday of the Royal
Welsh Show, which he
won; the huge main ring
was cutting up badly due
to heavy storms.
So the great day
arrived; Wednesday at
the Royal Welsh is "cob
day" with some classes
having 40 forward.
The mare and foal
classes are in the
morning followed by the
stallion classes in the
afternoon and finally
the Prince of Wales
Cup. The atmosphere was
building throughout the
day with many spectators
claiming their
grandstand seats by
8.30am.
By the time of the
senior stallion
class there were over
30,000 people around the
main ring and countless
thousands watching on
television around the
world. I have watched
and taken part in the
senior stallion class
but never have I seen
such atrocious
conditions. The long
trot up the front of the
grandstand through a
cacophony of sound is
hard enough but by the
time of the senior
stallion class last
year, which was won by
Pennal Brynmor's sire,
Gwenllan Brynmor, the
ring had turned to ankle
deep slurry.
The Prince of Wales Cup
was judged, as were all
the Welsh cob classes by
Mr.John Batt of the
Abergaveny Stud,
who took his time with
the class winners before
him, creating an
electric atmosphere.
Pennal Brynmor won to a
huge cheer; the lovely
mare Ring Danielle from
Belgium was reserve. It
is most unusual for a 3
year old to win The
Prince of Wales Cup but
his quality had already
been noticed in Wales.
At the time of his great
achievement last July
Pennal Brynmor's foals
were on the ground at
the Cascob Stud.
Pennal Brynmor and The
Prince of Wales Cup
stayed in Wales and Dai
Harris of the Pennal
Stud commissioned a
replica set of rosettes
for George Mitchell.
Thoughts now turn to
2010, and I wish good
luck to all Welsh pony
and cob exhibitors in
the region.
