The Welsh Mountain Mare, Rhyl Pale Moon, was acquired in 1976. She was in
foal to Belvoir Zechin (imp) and the cream Section B filly Glen Avon Claire De
Lune was born.This pony was to prove an extremely well performed pony winning
many supreme awards under saddle.We still have one of her descendants in the
stud - Glen Avon Clara (Section B) and Glen Avon Stoatley (section A)
During the same year we acquired the brown Section B colt Eelah Caradog from
Jannys McDonald in New South Wales and thus began a span of 28 years breeding
and showing Section B Welsh
Ponies and Riding Ponies. Caradog was by Coed Coch Branas(imp) out of Rawthey Wishing
Well(imp) and we found that he crossed extremely well with Thoroughbred mares and some
of these ponies were sold all over Australia during the ensuing years.
During this time we still owned the Section A mare Rhyl Pale Moon and the
stud has retained her last foal, Glen Avon Stoatley. The grand-dam of Rhyl Pale
Moon was Stoatley Blue Moon hence name for this last foal. It is well known that
the Stoatley Stud produced many performance animals, particularly in harness and
this mare has certainly passed this attribute on to her progeny. Stoatley's son Glen
Avon Jackman was a colt class winner at 2011 and 2012 All Welsh is now sold to Keith Langan for a future in driving.
