The influence of
Criban Victor on
Section B breeding is monumental
Registration Number: 1775
This welsh Pony stallion was born in 1944 and survived until his 29th year
in 1973. He was bred by H.W. Richards and Sons, sold to the Downland Stud,
won the Section B stallion class at the Royal welsh Show in 1947, and was
purchased for Lord Kenyon's Gredington Stud where he stayed for the rest
of his life.
Criban Victor chalked up a very impressive show record winning the Royal
welsh in 1956, 1958, 1959, 1960 and 1964. He also won the Ponies of
Britain Championships in 1959, 1962, 1965 and 1966 plus the National Pony
Society Shows in 1956,1959,1960 and finally, at twenty-five years of age,
the Section B Reserve Supreme Champion in the 1969 North Wales Association
Show.
The influence of Criban Victor on Section B breeding both here and in the
United Kingdom is monumental. Except for people that do exclusive
line-breeding and in-breeding, Criban Victor can be found in many Section
B pedigrees in the U.K. Here in the United States, the influence of Criban
Victor can be felt even more. A major imported stallion of influence,
Snow Pony Blondus,
is a Criban Victor grandson.
