Severn Oaks Farm 
FARNLEY TIBER  A39577
Welsh Section A Stallion, foaled 1999
(Severn Snapdragon x Farnley Amazon by Farnley Chapka)

Purchased at the Farnley sale in July 2008, Tiber comes with a Severn connection. His sire, Severn Snapdragon, was Severn-bred and resided at Farnley for some years as a herd sire before moving on to another farm to sire hunter ponies.  Tiber has a lovely disposition and we have been very pleased with his foals.

This pony was interesting to me because he has 3 crosses in his pedigree to *Coed Coch Pansi through Bryntirion Rowan. Coed Coch Pansi was imported by Mrs. Iliff in 1948 and was her favorite mare. Rowan was foaled in Britain before Pansi was imported, and he was imported into the Northwest of the US. Pride was put right to work when he arrived at Severn Oaks from Oregon in 2014 and has already sired several prize-winning foals including Severn Filigree pictured below left and Severn Kiev (below right), and Severn Fedora (below middle). He should win his Sire Legion of Merit award soon, as he has four out of five legs.

Still a very young guy, Rummy was shown as a yearling and also in 2015. He was WPCSA 3rd place Jr. Colt in 2015. He did very well and had two Supreme Championships.  Rummy was bred to two old mares in 2015 and both had lovely fillies in 2016. (See Young Ponies and Broodmares Pages). As of 2023, Rummy has sired 10 foals, most of which have been shown and he won his Sire Legion of Merit Award in 2022, a great accomplishment for a ten-year-old stallion.

West Wind at 28 years old. 
West Wind was an exceptional stallion. He lived his entire life at Severn Oaks, except a short period when he was young. Never broken to ride or drive, he had a lot of great foals over his 30 years. Some are still here at Severn Oaks. His effect on the Welsh Ponies at our farm is huge. 
Severn Merrymaker, 1993-2012, had a very positive impact on the ponies here. While he lived, he was an excellent sire. His many foals have gone off to be successful driving and riding ponies. Some, including our current stallion, Severn Bay Rum, remain here to continue his legacy.
