HENIARTH
is situated in South West Wales, approximately eight miles
from Carmarthen.
The farm is
situated above the castle town of Kidwelly, settled in 1115,
looking towards the Gower peninsula.
The National Botanic
Garden of Wales, Dylan Thomas’ boathouse at Laugharne and
Pembrey Country Park are all close at hand for those not
wanting to talk ponies; there is also a variety of good
accommodation nearby.
Our policy at Heniarth is to limit
the numbers that we can easily accommodate within our 26
acres of available grazing. The majority of the stock winter
indoors in yards, with foaling closely supervised with the
aid of CCTV if needed. Each foal is well handled, wormed and trimmed,
with youngsters thought to make good ridden prospects being
given the opportunity to grow on here until three years old,
though generally seem to be snapped up before they reach
that age! All of our show ponies are produced from home,
including the ridden ones in the past,
though lately we have been lucky enough to utilise the
services of some capable individuals.
With breeding both Sections A & B our
numbers have to be strictly limited with generally eight foals being
the maximum number foaled each season.
