CUSTENNIN AVAILABLE FOR LEASE OR SALE
GWYNFAES CUSTENNIN AT HOYS 2009

Due to work commitments, Hattie has regrettably decided that she can no longer lease Custennin. We can only thank her for the tremendous achievements she achieved with Custennin. Therefore we are looking for a suitable experienced rider who would want to lease Custennin or we would consider selling him to a suitable home. He has impeccable breeding as Culhwch has now won the Section D Sire Ratings for the third year in succession. His full brother Gwynfaes Manawydan is proving to be a top sire in Sweden with Anna & Maud Enmark and we have two fabulous fillies from Custennin before he started on his ridden career. He really is a top class Section D stallion that has the qualities to be shown in-hand, to be ridden and be a fabulous stock getter.

GWYNFAES ANNEST
Rydym mor falch bod Anthony ac Aileen Booth, Bridfa Rainhall wedi penderfynu rhoi cartref i Annest am 2010. Ein gobaith yw ei gweld yn rhai o'r sioeau ar ddiwedd y flwyddyn gan gofio mai ar ddiwedd Mehefin ganwyd Annest.
We are so pleased that Anthony and Aileen have leased Annest for 2010. We hope to see her out in some of the later shows as she was a late foal. We cannot thank Anthony and Aileen enough for preparing Annest for the 2010 shows.
GWYNFAES BENDIGEIDFRAN
Penderfynwyd gwerthu Bendigeifran pan wnaeth Stephan Bends o'r Almaen gynnig amdano ni allu Meirion anwybyddu. Dymunwn pob llwyddiant iddo ar gyfer 2010.
We made the decision to sell Bendigeidfran as Stephan Bends made an offer that Meirion could not ignore. We wish both Stephan and Bendigeidfran all the best for 2010.

SIOE SIR BENFRO 2009 PEMBROKE COUNTY SHOW
Diwrnod llwyddiannus i ni. Dangoswyd Bryncadno Heledd am y tro cyntaf gan ddod yn gyntaf yn ddosbarth yr ebolion. Dangosodd ei hun yn dda iawn a fi'n credu bod Meirion yn bles a'i anrheg.
We had a very successful day. This is the first time in the show ring for Bryncadno Heledd and she excelled herself by coming first in the foal class. I think Meirion is pleased with his birthday present.
Daeth Gwynfaes Y Gof yn ail yn y dosbarth 2/3 oed. Mae'n datblygu i fod yn symudwr da.
Gwynfaes y Gof was second in the class for 2/3 year olds. I must say, he's really developing into being a good mover.
Llongyfarchiadau hefyd i Eirian a Llanwnnen Awel Mai a ddaeth yn ail yn ddosbarth y cesig magu.
Congratulations also to Eirian and Llanwnen Awel Mai in coming second in the brood mare class.
SIOE FRENHINOL 2009 ROYAL WELSH
Dyna beth oedd Sioe Frenhinol? Pan benderfynodd Meirion i beidio mynd a Culhwch a Noah, credais mai sioe tawel oedd hi i fod. Am y tro cyntaf ers blynyddoedd, dim ond un cobyn oedd yn mynd o glos Gwynfaes. Ar ddydd Mawrth, cododd Meirion am 4 i odro a bant a ni am 7:00 gyda Y Gof yn y treiler. Dangosodd Y Gof ei hun yn dda yn y dosbarth i ebolion 2 oed gan ddod yn 4ydd ac roeddwn yn hapus â hyn.
What a Royal Welsh? When Meirion decided not to take Culhwch or Noah, I thought, it was going to be a low key show for us. For the first time in years we were only taking one cob from Gwynfaes. On Tuesday, Meirion got up at 4 to milk and off we set at 7:30 with Gwynfaes Y Gof in the trailer. We got to the show and Meirion and Y Gof did a great show in the 2 year old colt class. Y Gof was placed fourth and we were happy with this.

Y dosbarth nesaf i mewn oedd yr ebolesi dwy oed a roeddwn yn bles dros ben pan ddaeth dwy eboles gan Culhwch yn y tri cyntaf. Caederwen Sienna 1af a Broadley Orange Blossom 3ydd.
Next in were the 2 year old filly class and we were absolutely delighted when two Culhwch fillies were placed in the top three. Caerderwen Sienna 1st and Broadley Orange Blossom 3rd.

Wedyn i ddosbarth i'r ebolesi 3 oed. Gan fod Ionos Ffion wedi rhagori yn y sioeau yn 2009, roedd Meirion a finne yn awyddus iawn i weld y dosbarth. Colles ddechre'r dosbarth gan fod Stiward eiddgar yn mynnu fy mod i yn eistedd yn adran y llywodraethwyr a bu Meirion bron a chael trawiad wrth i'r gât gau a Ffion a Daniel tu allan. Yna, agorwyd y gât gan stiward caredig ac i mewn hedfanodd Ffion a Daniel. Enillodd ei dosbarth a choronwyd y dydd wrth iddi gael ei gosod fel is-pencamwraig y stoc ifanc. Roedd yn ddiwrnod rhagorol ac rwyn edrych ymlaen ei gweld yn y prif gylch unwaith eto ac ebol wrth ei thraed. Llongyfarchiadau gwresog i chi'ch dau.
Then to the 3 year old filly class. As Ionos Ffion had had such a fantastic season, both Meirion and myself were eager to see the class. I missed the start due to an over zealous steward and Meirion's heart almost stopped when the gate was shut with no Ffion or Daniel in the ring. Then, a kind steward opened the gate and in burst both Ffion and Daniel. The rest is history. She won her class and was the reserve youngstock champion. It really was a fab day and I can't wait to see her out there again with a foal at foot. Many, many congratulations to you both.

Uchod, rwyf wedi cynnwys y stoc a enillodd wobrau ond roeddwn yn ymfalchio wrth weld holl epil Culhwch yn performio yn y sioe. Yn ddi-ffail, roedd bob un yn symudwr, yn gywir ac yn doangos bod ganddynt anian rhagorol.
Dydd Mercher, ar ddiwedd cystadlu dosbarthiadau'r cobiau, pleser oedd clywed bod Culhwch wedi ennill Tlws Epil Yeomans unwaith eto.
Dechrau yn cynnar dydd Iau am fod Meirion yn barnu'r CFfI yn barnu cobiau. Es draws i gylch y ceffylau yn y gobaith o weld Custennin am y tro cyntaf ers 15 mis - roedd Hattie a Custennin yn cystadlu yn y 'Ridden Mountain & Moorland Pony of the Year - Horse of the Year Show Qualifier - Welsh Cob Section D class' ond hwn oedd yr olaf o chwech dosbarth. Roedd y dosbarth am 4p.m. a ni'n gadael i odro amser hyn. Er yn ddibrofiad, roedd yn edrych yn arbennig o dda ac fe aeth y ddau ymlaen i ennill y dosbarth ac yna cael eu dewis fel Is-Bencampwyr yr adran M&M. Oh am odro! Mae ein diolch i gyd i Hattie am ei gynhyrchu mewn modd mor arbennig. Mae Meirion yn edrych ymlaen i HOYS yn barod.
I've included the prizewinning progeny but we were absolutely delighted to see all of Culhwch's progeny perform in the main ring. Without fail, they are great movers, they have good conformation and the very best of temperaments.
On Wednesday, when all the Welsh cob classes were completed, we were thrilled that Culhwch had won the Yeomans Progeny Trophy once more.
Another early start on Thursday as Meirion was judging the Young Farmers judging Cobs. I made my way over to the horse ring hoping to see Custennin for the first time in 15months - Hattie had entered him for the The Ridden Mountain & Moorland Pony of the Year - Horse of the Year Show Qualifier - Welsh Cob Section D class only to realize that the cobs were the last of the classes. The class was at 4p.m. Although Custennin was inexperienced, he looked majestic and won the class. He then topped this by also being awarded the Reserve Champion for the Mountain & Moorland section. What a pity we missed the class as Meirion had to get home to do the milking! What can we say but our sincere thanks to Hattie for producing him so beautifully and we are looking forward to our trip HOYS.
GWYNFAES CUSTENNIN 1st and RESERVE CHAMPION
Wrth i Custennin ennill yn y Sioe Frenhinol dan gyfrwy ac felly ar ei ffordd i HOYS, mae Meirion wedi gwireddu breuddwyd arall....
magu enillydd y Sioe Frenhinol ac ymddangosydd yn HOYS mewn llaw drwy Culhwch, dan gyfrwy drwy Custennin ac yn dreifio drwy Sion.
With Custennin winning at the Royal Welsh and qualifying for HOYS, Meirion has achieved another of his ambitions...
as he has bred a Royal Welsh winner and HOYS qualifier in hand with Culhwch, ridden with Custennin and driven with Sion.

Roedd Meirion yn hanner cant eleni a phan welais Heledd penderfynais ei phrynu fel anrheg pen-blwydd iddo. Dyma'r ceffyl cyntaf i ni ei brynu ac rwyn gobeithio fod Meirion yn bles!
Meirion was 50 earlier this year, so as a treat, I brought Heledd for him. As this is the only cob we have ever brought I hope Meirion is pleased!
GWYNFAES HARRISON (2003)

Gwynfaes Hud a Lledrith |
Ebol melyn â dwy goes wen. Mae'n ebol trawiadol iawn sy'n medru symud yn arbennig o dda. Prynwyd Harrison gan Linda a Roger yn ebol bach yn arbennig am ei anian ragorol. Cafodd amser i ddatblygu gan ddechrau ar ei waith yn bedair oed. Erbyn diwedd y flwyddyn roedd yn mynd dan gyfrwy ac yn cael ei ddefnyddio i hela. Yn awyddus i ddysgu, erbyn hyn mae wedi cystadlu mewn dosbarthiadau Working Hunter ac fel gwelwch uchod mewn cystadleuaeth un diwrnod. Erbyn hyn, mae Linda, ei merched a'i hwyres yn marchogaeth ac yn cystadlu gyda Harrison. Fel y gwelwch, mae'n geffyl hyblyg dros ben.
A chestnut colt with two white socks. He's a flashy upstanding colt that moves superbly well. He was brought by Linda and Roger particularly for his excellent temperament. He was then turned away until he was four when he was initially broken to ride and hack out. Eager to learn, he has since been competing in Working Hunter Classes and above he is seen competing in a one day event. He is regularly ridden and competed by Linda, her daughters and her granddaughter. Harrison is truly a versatile welsh cob.
LLUNIAU A GWYBODAETH NEWYDD - NEW PICTURES AND UPDATES
O bryd i'w gilydd, rwyn derbyn lluniau a gwybodaeth am epil Culhwch a chobiau a fagwyd yma. Fel rwyn cael amser, rwyn ceisio eu rhoi ar y tudalennau priodol ond o nawr ymlaen byddaf yn cyfeirio atynt fan hyn.
From time to time, I am sent pictures and the progress of Culhwch's progeny and of cobs bred at Gwynfaes. As I have time, I do try to include them in the relevant pages but I thought I would flag up where I have made updates here.
