Bawdsey Sweet Pea

Sweet Pea has some of the oldest bloodlines in the stud book, her sire is Baledon Czar out of Kirby Cane Barley. SHE WAS THE WINNING SECTION B BARREN MARE ROYAL WELSH SHOW 1997 (see p357 1998 Welsh Pony & Cob Society Journal). Sweet Pea has a wonderful temperment, and is a pleasure to own.

Sweet Pea is a very old fashioned true to type mare with plenty of bone and extravagant action. We purchased her to put to our young stallion Soudley Royalist who is by Telynau Royal Charter (see P81, 1997 Welsh Pony & Cob Society Journal, since exported to USA) out of Cottrell Porcelain. He was only shown once coming 4th at Glanusk 2000. 

This has proved to be an excellent cross, the first foal, Soudley Royal Rose, had a very successful showing career as a yearling before being purchased as a two year old, by Mrs Diane Sommers, California.
