Glanusk Welsh Stallion Show 2011
Welsh Mountain Pony Premiums
Francis Goggin (Penboeth)
Dewi Thomas (Cefn Fedw)
Report:
The majority of stallions presented for this year's Premium Inspection were in good condition and well presented. The Hill Pony Improvement Societies are to be commended for the time and effort afforded in preparing their stallions for inspection and were deserving of the premiums awarded. In fact there were a few stallions that were unlucky not to have Super Premiums because of the limited numbers. It was disappointing however to see that there were still a small number of stallions in poor condition that unfortunately had to be rejected.
Youngstock:
The Yearling Classes by a Premium Stallion were low in numbers but had ponies that were well presented and had type and quality. We would have liked to have seen a few more forward but were pleased with all the yearlings shown.
Results Glanusk Premium Stallions 2011
Premium Stallion Parade was again very popular with the spectators and breeders from across the UK.
There were 33 stallions entered on behalf of 20 Hill Pony Improvement Societies, only 29 were forward for inspection. Two stallions were not up to the standard required and were refused Premiums.

Premium Judges Report on Foal Inspection at Brecon Market 2011
On Saturday 3rd December we undertook the task of inspecting the 44 filly foals presented from the Hill Ponies of Wales Premium Societies. Fortunately, unlike last year, the weather conditions were good and made the inspecting of these foals a lot easier.
There were no colts brought forward which was disappointing but there were a lot of very good quality fillies present who would have held their own in the best of company. It was felt that this year's foals surpassed last year's for quality. In total we were able to award 23 premiums to the filly foals and have no hesitation in saying that quite a number of these fillies were of such good type, conformation and quality that they stood out.
It was a pleasure to see the effort that had gone into the preparation of these foals and a number of fillies were turned out to show standard! Credit must go to their Breeders for their hard work. There were 2 mares forward for inspection and they were both awarded Premiums.
The remainder of the four year old mares for 2011 inspection will be inspected at their holdings.
