Erwfforch Dewin Direidus

The highest marks ever awarded, described by Sports Pony Studbook Society Grading day judges as "a whopping 89.23%", have been notched up by a Welsh Cob stallion.

After being presented In-hand, loose schooled and then ridden, Erwfforch Dewin Direidus 39261 was chosen as Champion and awarded a Lifetime Grading by the Society.

‘Dewin’, one of five stallions at Welsh Sport Horses International based on Anglesey - took top honours in the recent event staged at The Heart of England Equestrian Centre, Staffordshire. Out of 74556 Gwrthafarn Bronwen and sired by Trevallion Can Comet 24000, Dewin has always been a popular sire of performance stock.

Mrs Anne Roberts who owns the stallion jointly with Mrs Jane Roberts said, "This was a fantastic performance. Dewin is returning to ridden work at the age of 15 after a seven year gap due to a driving injury. To achieve this - topping the list of entrants from all over the UK, is wonderful. He's a star"

He by now has numerous progeny, registered with the WPCS, SHB(GB) and other Societies who are representing him in the competition world. Hopefully he, with others, such as Carregoch Bleddyn will continue to fly the flag for the Welsh Breeds and prove you don't have to go abroad to buy the right horse.
