Our 1st show of the season was BSPS Wales ,we took our homebred 4yr old Cadlanvalley Camelot for the 13 hds Novice SHP which he won and was Reserve Novice Champion ridden by Libby. Then we took our F/R novice Cadlanvalley Jorgie Girl to BSPS Mid Wales show she was Novice Mini Champion and Reserve Open / Restricted Champion. The following week Jorgie Girl went to NPS Area 28 and was 1st Novice F/R and 1st Open F/R and Reserve Mini Overall Champion again ridden by Libby. Our foals are due from April 2016 , we have some due by Russetwood Elation, Cadlanvalley Buzby, Cadlanvalley Rio and our first crop of foals by our young Colt Mynach Sea Scout.

We were pleased to be able to purchase back the lovely filly Cadlanvalley Penny Royal,sold as a foal and shown successfully it was great to have her come back home.Penny is full sister to Cadlanvalley Miss Prim who was 1st Royal Welsh as a yearling in 2015

Well another year nearly over and showing season finished time to reflect.Would like to say massive congratulations to Kathleen Scott for being Best of Breed Welsh B at Olympia with Cadlanvalley Sandpiper,ridden by his new jockey Colette Green.So many times this boy has been so close so lovely to see him get it in 2015, and win his class at HOYS. His three quarter baby brother our stud stallion Cadlanvalley Buzby was 2nd to Sandpiper at Olympia, these two boys are best buddies …and both beautifully produced by Katy Marriott Payne. Would like to thank Roma Wright Smith for letting us purchase Eyarth Troy many years ago, he is sire of Sandpiper and also sire of Russetwood Elation (bred by Roma) who in turn is sire of Buzby. Their dam Stockham Domino bred by Tony and Pat Fillingham of the Stockham stud is a mare in a million, being dam to both these boys and many other good ponies. At this time of the year, personally I am very appreciative of the luck we have had in purchasing these animals, and to say thank you to their breeders, as without them they would not be here.

We are pleased to announce that Cadlanvalley Stud are now the Sponsors for the WPCS National High Point Junior Geldings for 2016.

We took our colt foal Cadlanvalley VIP to his first ever show Gwent Area WPCS foal and youngstock Autumn show where he was 1st Sec B colt foal class and Reserve Champion foal,then he was Reserve Overall Section B Champion to a filly we bred Cadlanvalley Paris owned by Shelley Dobbs.

October sees one of the most prestigious shows in the UK being Horse of the Year Show. With 3 Cadlanvalley ponies Qualified in the Welsh B ridden class we decided it would be lovely to sit and watch Katy Marriott Payne ride Cadlanvalley Sandpiper so left our own Buzby at home. Also qualified was his younger brother Cadlanvalley Bentley. What an overwhelming result when Sandpiper was called forward as the winner, following in Buzzbys success in 2014. Sandpiper has been so consistent there in the last few years being in the final placings, so exciting to see him win. His younger brother Bentley was 9 th and at only 4 years old was a tremendous achievement, he is owned by the Rockbury Stud and ridden and produced by Nicole Weyman.
Also there was a win for Cadlanvalley Super Ted in the Carrs BMW L/R of SHP. At only 4 years old he was an absolute star and behaved impeccably for his tiny jockey. He was sold by us only a few weeks before to the Kerr family and he was produced and shown at HOYS by Craig Eleanor.
