Stud History

In 1993 Richard Miller (Heniarth Stud) rang to say he'd found a colt to change the face of Maenan Stud - he wasn't joking!!!
Bred by the late Mrs. Mary Stephens and her husband Vic Surprise has so consistently given us foals of the highest quality we'd be hard pressed to find a replacement for him - I reckon he'll be here for life!
Surprise has had his critics because of his big white face, but everyone who has had faith in him has been rewarded with prizewinning offspring, none of them carrying too much white.
Ably shown by Adam Fletcher (Dhanak Stud) as a yearling Surprise was Supreme Champion Horse at Kington Show beating many well know Champions from Shetlands to Hunters to Shires, quite an achievement for a 'baby'! He was second at the Royal Welsh in 1995, has been third at Lampeter twice, and third at Glanusk along with numerous other wins and championships. (I'm not ashamed to admit I love him to bits!)
