First
Premium Cleveland Bay Stallion in Powys
FOR
the first time ever, a Premium Cleveland Bay stallion will stand
in Powys for the season.
Good
news for the region and the Cleveland Bay breed, four-year-old Tregoyd
Journeyman, owned by Colin and Margaret Green looks set to have
an outstanding future.
Based
at the Tregoyd Stud, Three Cocks, Powys, Tregoyd Journeyman will
also be one of 12 top UK Premium stallions taking part in the Cleveland
Bay Horse Society's King George V Cup competition at York Livestock
Centre on April 26.
Tregoyd Journeyman
Out
of Tregoyd Suzy, a premium mare, the sire, Knaresborough Chancellor,
was bred in Yorkshire at the famous Knaresborough Stud.
Worldwide
there are only about 400 pure-bred breeding mares with only about
80 foals born each year. The breed features on the Rare Breeds Survival
Trust's critical list.
"Tregoyd
Journeyman, who is 16.2hh with approximately 10in bone, will run
out with his mares as many of our other stallions have done,"
says his breeder Colin Green whose stud nestles at the foot of the
Brecon Beacons Park near Hay-on-Wye.
"The
breed is known for its excellent temperament which they pass on.
And Journeyman already has two sons - Tregoyd Talisman and Tregoyd
Josh.
"Although
we are keen to cover pure-bred mares, many people like to cross
the breed with thoroughbreds.
"The
Cleveland Bay is very versatile and is now used to produce sport
horses for dressage, show jumping and eventing," adds Colin.
