I have a newly purchased British Riding Pony of the "Cusop" and "Llanarth Aristocrat" breedlines. Does anyone know anything about the success and current thoughts on this breeding?? Possible success as a broodmare?
 
Quite a lot! Cusop Stud had the late great father of them all Bwlch Valentino. They have bred some superb ponies that today appear in the recent pedigrees. Cusop Dimension sired Broadgrove Chatterbox who was HOYS pony of the year. Llanarth Aristocrat is by Cusop Disipline. I'd love to know more about your pony and her sire and dam.
 
Shes quite a slim build so would love to have something with a bit more to it. A show pony would be lovely, though the mare has exceptional natural jumping talent so perhaps build on that..... A foal to make 14.2hh ish would be ideal.
 
Maybe a nice smaller Connemara?

All depends what you want the foal to do really? would the foal be for a child or adult to ride?

You've got the quality from the mare so if you wanted a pony club/riding club type temperament that would have the quality to do hunter pony classes or any job you might be better to go for a steady/sturdy type of native.

I absolutely love Riding Ponies but unless your are breeding to show they can be a can be a bit too sharp for your average rider (it's not uncommon to see a small adult riding in the ponies for hours before the kids before go into the ring)

I had a Bwlch Zephyr mare who showed very successfully, I bought her for my sister to ride but she was too sharp, I then rode her (as I'm little) and she was brilliant show jumping and X-C but I doubt I'd have been able to ride her properly as a kid.
I then bred 3 foals out of her, first 2 by a Riding Pony and the 3rd by my own TB stallion.
The pony foals were very sharp but the TB x foal was much easier.
My pony mare wasn't sharp to handle btw just when ridden.

Hope that helps :)

Hi Jadey, I hope this pic will give you an idea of why horses descended from the Cusop Stud's 'Bwlch Valentino" (I've probably spelt that wrongly) are so sought after. The pic is of me riding my old adv. medium dressage horse in 1990, by which time, he was 14 years old. His granny was by Valentino. The rest was thoroughbred. Granny gave him movement to die for.
