Fourwinds Gethin’s breeding combines the best of Welsh Section C breeding with a proven ability to produce top class performance ponies, he is closely related to the winners of over 40 individual championships at The Royal Welsh Show in the past 30 years.  He is also almost completely free of Derwen and Brenin bloodlines so he is an excellent outcross for mares from these lines. 

 

Sire: 

Abbeylodge Lucky Lad is from the sire line of Synod William, sire of Synod Magnus the British Breeding/Ponies UK Top British-bred Dressage Pony 2007). Leyeswick Flyer is also a proven source of outstanding movement in many Sections Cs, Ds and part-breds. The jumping pony Lucky Lucy is also from this line.

 

Dam: 

Newhouse Cadwen has bred 6 foals so far including 2 palominos, a cremello and a dun. Her dam Menai Cadwena is by the legendary Menai Fury (Champion 1976) who sired Synod William (see above) who was Champion at the Royal Welsh in 1971, 72, 80, 81. Menai Fury is one of the outstanding pony sires of the Twentieth Century

 

Damsire: 

Deytheur Brenin Ap Lyn is by Lyn Cwmcoed (Champion at the Royal Welsh 1966, 67, 68, 69, 70, 72, 73. 74) who features in the pedigree of Sakama Chezin, the British Breeding/Ponies UK Top British-bred Showjumping Pony of 2006

Performance

Fourwinds Gethin was backed in the autumn of 2009 and has shown natural balance, super temperament, great rideability and a love of jumping under saddle from the very beginning. Ridden by a novice junior rider he qualified for both Trailblazers Combined Training and the NPS Dressage Championships first time out and has highly been placed in showjumping in every class so far, even during the covering season. Many of his close relatives have been exported to Sweden, France, The Netherlands and the USA as foundation breeding stock and his semen is already in demand abroad.

 

Offspring/Breeding Advice
2009 was Fourwinds Gethins first season at stud and his first crop included the stunning palomino filly Trevoulter Blonde Ambition, who was the highest scoring event foal overall at The Grange BEF Futurity, above many top class foals by established eventing sires.

Being almost completely free of Derwen and Brenin bloodlines,  would be an excellent outcross for mares from these lines. He also carries the highly desirable crème gene essential for palomino breeding.

 

Fourwinds Gethin is standing at Trevoulter Barton Stud in Cornwall with generous concessions to graded and winning mares and is also available nationwide by frozen semen.
