Congratulations to Dylan Chaplin for winning the TINKER
memorial Trophy for Morgan It'll Do at the 2009 WPCS Performance Awards, presented to the pony with the highest points for showjumping, not having competed in affiliated classes, well done Dylan and thanks for bringing the trophy back to Anglesey.

Morrigan Lucy Too is the 2009 WPCS Small Part Bred Performance Champion, also this year she won the BSJA Regional (North West) 80cm open Championship.
Lucy enjoyed a succesfull career as a Sport Pony/WPB with Tamsin Jessup and Abby and Robyn Harris as a Champion WPB, a Dressage and Event Pony -competed at Pre-novice,BSJA - qualified for Discovery Finals at Scope 2008,jumped at Newcomer level and last but not least Lucy is best known for her speed and endurance - winning every Hunt race she entered, all in all she is a proven, consistent, reliable and hardy quality Performance Pony and we are looking forward to her adding her valuable genes to our broodmare pool. We already have her exciting son Morrigan Shae (by Kilmullen Fionn - Connemara) competing with his full sister Morrigan Mirhaid working well under saddle and also due next year to Morrigan Brennin. Lucy has a lovely daughter by Carregcoch Bleddyn (sire of Machno Carwyn world champion jumping pony who will be starting work next year.
Lucy's strong points are her stamina, her fabulous trot, her ultra carefull jump, speed, blood and her ability to pass on all these good points. her TB x native pony bloodlines with the dash of Arab make her a usefull cross for most stallions.
I look forward to filling these pages with reports of her families doings.

**********************
The stud began in 1984 with MORGAN TALPANICA(Mole).Lipizzaner x AA.
The horses were bred for temp + rideability, quickly gaining a reputation for straightforward, sought after riding horses with reliable quality, many customers coming back for more.

By the year 2000, Siobhan, Abby + Robyn were old enough to become involved + they proved to be very keen. Quality,useful ponies being in short supply, we turned our focus to breeding performance ponies. Morrigan Stud has a long established reputation for producing genuine, well mannered, balanced + well schooled ponies. We expect our animals to have:

A. Personality - we like a pony that wants to work, enjoys it + is a nice person.

B. Quality - we want a good looking, well put together pony that has balanced conformation + class, preferably too much bone for a show type; a tough strong sort. We want a pony with Power, Movement and Elegance.

C. Talent - the pony must have good paces, be able to really use itself + have a jump in it; it must really come off the ground, on the flat + over poles.

D. Fit, healthy, + tough - we breed from hardy, healthy types that live out + are easy to do.

2004+2005 IDHS (GB) junior performance Champion
Generally, the pony must fit in well with family life + perform.
We use all breeds - our criterion is performance. The lines we use are mostly Irish based with plenty of Welsh + Arab + TB mixed in where necessary.

We keep the stock as long as possible, (every 1 has been such a pleasure to produce, we find it difficult to part with any of them) - preferably up to 6yr old or so - bringing them on carefully with as full an education as each individual is comfortable with + capable of. The plan being, when they leave us, they are ready + able for anything. We have more than 1 or 2 satisfied customers. I hope you like our horses as much as we do.

As you can see our Prefix was originally MORGAN but when the Central Prefix Register became more involved in registering horses we had to change it as it was the name of a breed. We had a young lady riding with us at the time called MORRIGAN. Having registered a small number of horses under the name of our farm CEFN GOF + seen what a mouthful people found that, we changed to Morrigan. Over the years we observed the type of horse the average rider needed - something with quality but more emphasis on safe, reliable usability, we aimed to breed an animal that a working person could enjoy + do well with and taking minimal preparation + fuss.
