At Heniarth we have concentrated our female line in the stud on the blood of five times Royal Welsh Show Champion, Coed Coch Siaradus, considered by many to be one of the finest animals to grace the pages of the Welsh Stud Book.

Through her daughter, Coed Coch Seren Wen, top price of the 1966 Fayre Oaks Sale, Charles and Wendy Frank bred Sunwillow Bernina, Royal Welsh Progeny class winner in 1985 and 1988. When bred to the Siaradus son, Coed Coch Salsbri, they then bred Sunwillow Quest, Royal Welsh Reserve Youngstock and Female Champion in 1985 as well as record price highest selling Fayre Oaks Mountain Pony in 1994. Quest has produced four Royal Welsh winners, the latest being Sunwillow Yasmin, Reserve Female Champion at the 2000 Royal Welsh. We are endeavouring to continue this tradition. |

To quote Dr.Wynne Davies on his 2008 Fayre Oaks Sale report........... Yabadabadoo (joint top price) was bred at the Heniarth Stud, Carmarthenshire, sold to Holland and now retuned to Charles and Wendy Frank’s Sunwillow Stud where her dam Sunwillow Yasmin, g-dam Sunwillow Quest and g-g-dam Sunwillow Bernina were bred. Bernina, foaled in 1968, was one of the best mares ever to grace the Welsh Stud Book.

To quote the 2005 Royal Welsh Show judge in the 2006 Welsh Pony & Cob Society Journal............ "The three year old filly class was the last class of the section and the quality and numbers did not disappoint me yet again. The winner, Heniarth Yum Yum, entered the ring and instantly reminded me of a young Coed Coch Siaradus and with my type of movement she had to be my choice for the first prize......My Youngstock Champion was the beautiful three year old filly Heniarth Yum Yum with Sunwillow Jubilee (by Heniarth Quip) a very well deserving Reserve Champion."
