Hi,
Wanting a stud name, name must be Welsh in origin.
Foundation stallion is a dark sooty palamino any ideas, with £50 going to nominated charity of the person providing the chosen name.
I also have to explain that we will not be breeding indiscriminately, there are to many unwanted horses at the moment & 10% of the stud fee will be going to local horse charities.

"twll clo" is Welsh for keyhole, but you would have to use it all as one word to register the prefix - "Twllclo"

Fryniau means hills so that has got something to do with the name of your farm or Hyfryd means lovely which I think would be a nice prefix.
Both of those seem to be available as prefixes.

As a Welsh speaker I am more than happy to help - you will need to be careful as Welsh is a beautiful but complex language and the letter at the begining of a word can depend on what word it follows . Will have a think and post some ideas here are a few to start -
Swn y gwynt - sound of the wind
Llais y gwynt - voice of the wind
Can y gwynt - song of the wind / The wind's song
Pen y bryn - top of the hill
My daughters suggestion - Can y ...... / song of the ..... you could then call each foal after a bird so you would then for exampleshave Can y drew / song of the Wren.
Not sure how you check if these are available

Not sure how you check if these are available When the OP says they want a "SUD" (S Tud??) name, one presumes they mean a Prefix, rather than a different farm name for the property. If the former is the case, then once you have a shortlist of ideas, simply contact the Central Prefix Register (CPR) - the helpful Secretary Gina Dent will check for you if your choice is in use and registered to someone else or not. Your prefix, once registered with the WPCS and the CPR will then not be able to be used by anyone else. centralprefixreg@aol.com |

Caerefrog is York
Efrog is also used by itself as York
Brynefrog - Yorkhill
the 'f' is soft like the English 'v'
the 'E' is an 'eh' sound.
So Efrog is pronounced 'Ehvrog'
and Brynefrog pronounced 'Brinehvrog'

Love the "Can y ...... " idea - I used to have a pony who's breeder called all of that year's foals after birds. My pony was "Capercaillie" after the stud prefix which I thought was a beautiful name.

Bryntor.............  ? You are best contacting Central Prefix Register...then you can apply to have your chosen name overstamped and recognised with other society i.e. NPS, Sports Pony, PBA, Chaps if you breed any other types and they are all listed on you Prefix/Suffix certificate.........Good Luck with your new stud!! |

I am the daughter of Major Nicolson and I am also trying to trace his ponies and their offspring. My father died 20 years ago and his remaining 2 mares were sold but they could have gone on to have more foals with their new owners. I have grandchildren aged 4 and 2 and would love to find the line of breeding or indeed one of Dad's ponies that would now be in their twenties and needs a retirement home. The gelding Tilston Teal was still playing polo in the Gloucestershire area 5 years ago but I have now lost touch with him. The gelding Tilston Cardinal won the HOYS single harness pony of the year approximately 10 years ago and I think he is still owned by Mrs Wybrew.

I am an English woman living in Wales, and yes Welsh is a beautiful language, it is also bloody difficult to say! If you are living in England and are therefore likely to be showing in Yorkshire pick one that is reasonably easy to pronouce or the commentator is likely to avoid saying it and you will not get the publicity. It does work in reverse, we had one filly called Redvale Sea Chanty, you should have heard all the different versions of that  My suggestion: Arbenig, ( I think that is the correct spelling ) , which means Special Im sure that the Welsh speakers amongst us can check my spelling which everyone knows on this site is level with my typing skills , when one of my welsh friends stir themselves I will check for you . Unless it has changed, you need to first register with the Central Prefix and then with each society you intend to use. It can be quite costly if with more than one. |

Further to gillwales remarks on language - I am an Englishwoman living and breeding Welsh ponies in England, so have struggled with the Welsh language for years now! Mine are named in English, but I do have one bought in who was bred in England and named in Welsh - but slightly wrongly spelled so meaningless. I have a very good friend who is Welsh but lives and breeds in England, and her ponies are often named so very Welsh that us English can't relate name to pony at all as the words are so alien to us. So this is a plea - if you use Welsh names in England, please keep it simple! Mind you, my prefix is often mispronounced too, it's not just the Welsh language.

I do recall a friend who had a champion colt named l. Pizaz, it caused great hilarity when the announcer at the NPS summer champ called him pizza... so whenever we chatted on the phone it gave me great delight in asking after pizza.... I would get a growel by reply |
