CLAY FARM


Clay Farm, the dream and vision of Mick & Ella Grinnall, started some thirty years ago when the 100 acres was purchased from the late Mr& Mrs George Griffiths.

Now thirty years on, things have evolved; the sudden death of Mick Grinnall has led to a new partnership of Ella, son Rob and his wife Vicky.

The farm has been expanded with the purchase of a further 60 acres and is run within a Countryside Stewardship Scheme, allowing for low input, low stocking, high quality stock production.

We keep and produce quality, warranted stock, Aberdeen Angus, Beef Shorthorn, Zwartbles and Welsh Cobs. We welcome visitors who wish to inspect any of the animals - even if they don't buy any!

There is an on-site Equine Veterinary Clinic with facilities for rehabilitation of long-term injured horses and a farrier with forge on site.

The fishing pools are popular whilst retaining the quiet family atmosphere nurtured by Mick from their instigation; associated with and complimentary to the pools is a C.L. site for caravans.

Beautiful views and great fishing are available for those who stay either as part of the C.L. or on an organised Caravan Rally.


The farm has now diversified into a modern farming enterprise with various businesses here on the property. We let units to businesses which are mostly rural based such as a farrier and dog groomer, as well as a metal fabricator and car product company.

Our farming of livestock aims to produce top quality animals with attention given to their welfare and management. The breeds we have chosen are suited for our low level stocking densities and are marketed to the niche market rather than mass production.

We are always striving to improve the farm and the experience our visitors have here.

  Beech Hay Milk Model

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL OF OUR CUSTOMERS


BEECH HAY MILK MODEL 4yo BAY MARE


We are offering our mare Beech Hay Milk Model (Molly) for sale. She is a 4 year old rich bay mare.

She is beautiful, gentle, easy to do and sound. She is reluctantly for sale as we are very attached to her, but we have two of her sisters and her mother who are being retained. We are hoping to find her a permanent home rather than somewhere where she will be moved on from and a good home.

Beech Hay Milk Model is a lovely, safe pony. Her breeding is impeccable and she oozes quality. She has a full sister in France at Monsieur Riethmuller’s production stud and another in Wales that was bought to be brought on. She and her sister Desert Rose are certainly show quality animals. Milk Model has already been shown twice and won twice in M & M classes and placed in a ridden class. Our son Daniel can lead her out to the field (aged 4), but she can also be livened up to show off.

You can clip her, pull her mane, and load one handed. The farrier does her on his own and you can open and shut gates off her and lead a pony from her.

She is 14.1 ½ hh, but is still maturing. Her mother grew until she was seven and she was not at her best until this year when she won a bronze medal. Molly is guaranteed and warranted in every way and of course open to any vetting prior to purchase.
