An introduction to:



'TREGOYD CLEVELAND BAYS'

The home of
TREGOYD CLEVELAND BAYS
is set in the beautiful Wye Valley, on the Wales/ English border in the county of Powys near the ‘Book' town of Hay-on-Wye. It is set beneath the northern escarpment of the Black Mountains within the Brecon Beacons National Park in South Wales, UK.
Trenewydd, which is the name of our farm, is a small Welsh hill farm approached up a steep, narrow country road which leads from the area known as Tregoyd, hence the stud prefix. As one would imagine being in Wales, much of our land is sloping and we are favoured with steep banks and streams that we find excellent for helping youngstock to learn balance, tackle hazards and learn to cross water.

Margaret and myself, Colin Green, are retired from our careers and are now dedicated to the breeding of Pure bred Cleveland Bay horses. Our aims are closely allied to those of the Cleveland Bay Horse Society to help preserve this rare and endangered breed and to improve the quality and widen the influence of Pure bred Cleveland Bays. Also, through our promotional activities in connection with the Cleveland Bay Horse Society (Cleveland Bay Horse Society) and the Southern Cleveland Breeders Club, we try to bring about an increased awareness of the breed. We are concerned in particular that this great British asset, which is sadly largely unappreciated, becomes recognised for its impressive quality, substance, soundness and sanity and for the even greater contribution it could make to British breeding through the production of performance and leisure horses.
As you look through the photographs of these Tregoyd Clevelands and read through the brief history, we hope to introduce you to this breed and convince you about their beauty and potential .

In 2001 we were fortunate to breed these five foals who were all born out in the field and within 6 days of each other. All are by Cholderton Whitethorn. One of these is Victor, shown above, who has now been sold privately and is in Yorkshire, one is Lizzy who is now breeding in the USA and one is Topper who is featured on the 'Stallions' page and is stading in Western Australia. Chaplady is still with us for breeding and the fifth one is no longer with us following an accident.

 

Tregoyd Cleveland Bays is a small, privately owned stud breeding mainly pure bred Cleveland Bay horses. Over the years all of our Cleveland stallions have run with the mares and are covered naturally although visiting mares are covered in-hand. This policy of running stallions with the mares has worked very successfully and which shows through the high foaling percentages. We are very proud to have registered 35 females and 27 males in the Cleveland Bay Horse Society Stud book in a period of 30 years.
As well as breeding pure bred Clevelands we have also bred a number of Cleveland cross Thoroughbred horses in an attempt to draw attention to the huge potential of such CB Sporthorses. We no longer have our TB stallion Overly Jester - see Stallions page - but his progeny continue to do very well in their respective disciplines.

Through our interest in Cleveland horses, through our travels and through our sales connections we have made some wonderful friends both in the UK and also abroad where ever these great horses are bred. We send our greetings to all who have Tregoyd and related horses.
