Steehorst Kyro's Grandchildren Take Top Honors at the Lampeter Show

The B-class champion, reserve champion, and best yearling at the Lampeter Stallion Show, recently held in Wales, all come from different daughters of Steehorst Kyro. A wonderful tribute to Kyro’s breeder, the late Piet Steeghs, and excellent publicity for Dutch Welsh B breeding!

The three-year-old Heniarth Arietta (by Heniarth Wood-Wind) delighted both her breeders, Meirion Davies and Richard Miller of Heniarth Stud, and her Australian co-owner, Wendy Trimble of Tooravale Stud, by being named Junior Champion and Overall Section B Champion.

Wendy watched Arietta’s triumphant run ‘live’ on Facebook. Heniard Woodwind also won the championship at the Lampeter Show as a yearling.

Seventh generation

The mare is the seventh generation to be shown from a line established by Meirion’s parents, John and Glenys Davies of the Rhoson Stud. Arietta is by Rhoson Anoushka (s. Steehorst Kyro).

The two-year-old stallion Heniarth Derring-Do was named reserve Section B champion for his Swedish owners, Mats and Cecilia Olsson of Kulltorps Stud. Heniarth Wood-Wind is also his sire, and he is out of the half-sister of Arietta’s dam, namely Rhoson Dorti (by Steehorst Kyro).

The best yearling was Heniarth Starletta. She is a daughter of Tooravale Houston (by Weston Manhattan) and the mare Rhoson Siesta (by Steehorst Kyro) and is owned by Melau Stud.
