Abercamlais is a small family run stud of Welsh Mountain Ponies (and a Section D Stallion) bred for temperament and conformation, which we run as a hobby (albeit a very expensive one) alongside our busy work and family commitments. After years of owning and breeding large horses one of Janes ambitions was to own a Section A stallion. The opportunity came after a chance meeting on the road with John Roberts of Nantlais Stud and the offer to see a little colt born hours before hand -it was love at first sight! Many hours of persuasion (and liquid refreshment) resulted in the purchase our first colt foal “Nantlais Bonheddwr Charlie”. Since that time almost 4 years ago we have added steadily to his harem, the first of “Charlie's” foals arrived in April 2007 from a mare kindly given to us by John and Gail Roberts, “Pwlle Natur” who single handedly changed Martins mind about the breed. After many complaints about these *** ponies she came into his life, at times a little difficult, very marish, sometimes standoffish and won his heart. Sadly we lost Natur in October 2007 but have retained her son who has done extremely well for us in our first year of showing our own prefix. A special mention goes to our big boy “Glynglas Bonheddwr” or Merlyn as he is known at home. Brought as a foal after his mother died of bracken poisoning shortly after birth, Martin reared and broke him himself. He is a delight to own, his temperament is second to none, he has hunted, shown with success under saddle (front line of the Royal Welsh the on the two occasions he has been) and produced some lovely foals. He is traditional, as you will see from his pictures standing at 14.3 ¾ hh. We would like to thank everyone who has helped us, listened to us and advised us with a special thanks to John and Gail (Nantlais) www.nantlais.co.uk. Thank you for your help, patience, love and friendship. Diolch yn Fawr.
