Damsire: 

Comanche Ace was born in 1991 and, sadly, his parentage was not recorded.  At 13.2hh, he was one of the very first traditional ponies to win prolifically in the show ring and he is the only traditional stallion to be awarded Elite status with both CHAPS UK and the BSPA. He was invited and took part in the 2012 Queens Golden Jubilee Tribute at Royal Windsor.

Abbeywoods Veyron is a very nice sports pony prospect who excels in his jumping which was noted at his SPSS grading in 2021 when he got a 9 for Loose Jumping (attitude), which covers the use of brain between jumps, assessing and preparing himself.  The judge said he had a "good attitude, thinking by himself and positive".  He got an 8 for his other loose jumping mark (ability & technique) and the judge said he was "elastic and supple".  His trot also gained a high score (8.5) with the judge saying it was "loose and elastic" with "good hock activity and shoulder freedom".  His flatwork was also awarded with an 8 with the judge saying that he showed "lots of potential for a green pony under saddle".

Abbeywoods Veyron is 36.2% Arab, graded with the Sports Pony Society and licensed with CHAPS.

2022 was his first season at stud.
