Ernest Donald (Ernie) Beynon Glenmead Stud

Sadly, the WPCS has been informed of the passing of Ernest Donald (Ernie) Beynon, Glenmead Stud, peacefully on Tuesday 16th April, aged 93.

A long-standing member of WPCS, with a passionate interest in Welsh Ponies and Cobs. Ernie was a very well-known and respected breeder of Sections A, C and D, and Glenmead ponies and cobs have gone on to compete successfully and strengthen the breeding lines of a number of studs at home and abroad.

Possibly the pinnacle of his achievements was taking Youngstock Champion at Royal Welsh with a home bred yearling Section D filly, Glenmead Miss Magic.

He also had a great eye for spotting potential, and one of his best spots and subsequent purchases was Crugybar Cariad who was shown very successfully as a youngster, winning Lampeter, Glanusk and many other shows as a yearling, and placed 3rd in a huge class at Royal Welsh.

Ernie was also a popular panel judge for many years.

Funeral to take place 12pm Friday May 10th at Llanelli Crematorium. Light refreshments afterwards at Penclawdd Rugby Club.
