EST 1998: GREENVALE STUD & TY LLWYD STABLES LIVERY YARD Located near Carmarthen, it was established in 1998 by Marnie Venables. After finding the ideal premises and studying for her Equine Science HNC she set to work to attain her dreams of producing quality, British bred horses, that combined good conformation & talent from proven pedigrees with trainability & obliging temperaments. The stud itself
owns 110 acres of quality land. As it is situated geographically “In a bowl” it also
benefits from little wind and very little freezing during the winter months.
All fields and wooded areas used for grazing are stream-fed and are well-fenced
or hedged. As you would expect all the horses are cared
for with 5 star treatment and are under 24-hour supervision. Stabling is of the highest quality and so are the rest of the facilities: A floodlit all weather surface school and a large floodlit round - pen. The yard is kept immaculate at all times and has a very happy down to earth atmosphere. Livery vacancies occasionally available - CLICK LINK. |

The Greenvale Stud all started with the Welsh Cob stallion Yorkin Napoleon, since sold on to Yorkshire and the (Cardigan bred) Thoroughbred stallion, Time Willing. “He was a very lucky find for me in 2000, as his parentage includes two of the Racing greats, The Brianstan and Teenoso (Derby winner). He has proved to be a wonderful stock stamper, and is the most perfect gentleman”, sadly deceased in August 2010. He was the most adorable horse & is very greatly missed. Luckily his temperament & talent was passed onto all his youngstock who are out there doing flying the flag for their sire. The next 2 years were spent selecting brood mares and the (locally bred) coloured stallion, Alderfarn VII, by Elvis the great coloured Trakehner. “I felt there was a shortage of quality coloured stallions at the time that were of lighter bone and proven performance breeding.” His first progeny were born in May 2005, and amongst these were the nationally famous coloured twins Greenvale Double trouble I & II. His stock have sice excelled in the Showring & he, himself is a pleasure to own & ride. Also sire of the coloured stallion Greenvale Audacity, sold to stand at stud in Yorkshire & also proving to be a successful sire of quality coloured stock. 2004 heralded a concentration on improving stock and bloodlines including the selecting in Holland and Belgium of mares and youngstock. Most importantly: acquiring the Show jumping stallions, Dick Z and Holsteiner, Corravale. “I was so lucky to find such outstanding stallions; there is a shortage of Show jumping lines, especially in Wales. Dick Z was bred by Paul Schockemohle, Zangersheide stud and had been there and done it, he was already graded with the Anglo European Studbook. He is still one of only a few stallions that can boast the "Z" brand in the UK. Corravale is by the worlds leading show jumping stallion Coriano Z and has an absolute talent over a fence.” |
