3rd Barren Brood Mare

On the 29th June 2010 Keith and I travelled to New York State to judge the "Ponies on the Hudson" show.  The Hudson Valley is very beautiful and the people charming.  The three day show took place in temperatures over 90 degrees but ponies and people managed very well.  I had a wonderful time judging a great variety of ponies and meeting some fun and interesting people.

On the 18th June 2010 I travelled with Fran Jackson-Edwards to Denmark to Judge at Fynsk Show.  I had a fun and interesting time judging some very nice ponies. My eventual Champion was Pendock Bellavista a delightful dapple grey mare who I would have gladly taken home with me. 

A big thank you to Gareth and Mavis Parry for kindly allowing us have "Buster" for the first part of the season.  He is in every way a true gentleman and a pleasure to have around the place.  We eagerly await his foals next year.

Cwmhendy Buster going home!

2008

Tame Valley Oberon sold to Carole and Gary at the Cargarsar Stud in the South-East of England

Tame Valley Barbarossa sold to Eifion and Janet Hope of the Rockyview Stud all the way down at St. Davids in Pembrokeshire.

Colt foal Tame Valley Ajax was sold at Hay on Wye sales. The purchaser was R & B H Reipen of the Three-B's Stud at Llandysul. Photo is attached of Sandra running in the rain.

Filly foal Tame Valley Sara has been sold to Sharon Fisher at Lingarswood Stud. She has been shown twice in foal classes and has won both times out - going on to be Champion and Reserve Champion.

Supreme Champion 88450 Tame Valley Valetta 1989 - 2008

It is with sadness that TameValley Valleta was recently put down after a short illness. Valleta won many Supreme Championships and was always admired by visitors to the stud and was an inspiration to breeders of our type of mountain pony.

Tamevalley Sarabande has been sold to Sue-Ellen Lee of the Adien Stud. Wishing Sue-Ellen every success for next season. 

5th July

We went to Market Bosworth Show today and we were Champion Section A with Tamevalley Tamara and Reserve Champion Overall In-Hand.

2006

Try as I might I haven’t got into the hang of keeping my web site up to date, but having had several comments that my web site never changes I am going to try to get into good habits.  

We had six foals in 2006, all fit and healthy and all but one has been sold, of those sold all except one went from home.  They were a very nice bunch of foals all with kind temperaments but lots of good Tame Valley attitude, as Adam Fletcher was heard to say at Fayre Oaks  “there is nothing tame about Tame Valley”!!!!!  

During the season we went to a few shows, but with holidays and private commitments we didn’t do quite as much showing as we would have liked.   

The yearling filly Tame Valley Seren Arian won Leicester County, Lincoln County and Midland Counties, 2^nd NWWPCA Silver Medal Show and 3^rd Newark & Notts.  

The 3yr old filly Tame Valley Tamara won Midland Counties, Lincoln County and NWWPCA Silver Medal Show, 2^nd & Res Female Champion Royal of England  and 3^{rd at} Stafford County.

Our show mares Tame Valley Rowan and Tame Valley Sarabande both had big  foals on them and we really never got them into show condition. We did take Sarabande to Cheshire County, where in a large class she came 3^rd and although she went well we really felt that she needed more condition.   Hopefully next year we will get it right.  

Tame Valley Sahara (owned by Sharon Scott) and produced by Colin Tibbey  had a good season. He looked wonderful at the Three Counties show where he won and went to the Royal Welsh with our fingers crossed for him and Sharon,  when he came into the ring he really did bring a lump to my throat, he is a very glamorous pony and went well, 2^nd place was very creditable.  

Tame Valley Blackjack 4yr old gelding came out this season and at his first attempt qualified for Horse of the Year Show. Well done to all concerned.  

Blackjacks full sister Tame Valley Barbarella (by Pendock Legend out of Tame Valley Belladonna) is coming out next season and we have high hopes that this lovely filly will do well.  

We only bred two filly foals this year one out of Cledwyn Seren Dlws, sister of Sahara and Seren Arian. She has been sold to Margaret Smith and her daughter Sharon, they had to twist our arms because we really liked her (and we may yet live to regret it) but we are sure that they will show her beautifully and hopefully breed lots of good foals out of her.  

The other filly which we have retained is out of Tame Valley Sarabande by Tame Valley Viking, we think the combination has worked but only time will tell.  

Visitors are very welcome but please phone first.
