Suibhne -   "...Phil & Mari"

Llangennith - home of Phil Tanner and where we are lucky to live is in the English speaking part of Gower. The horses on Gower therefore were NOT refered to as Mari Lwydd.

We were fortunate though to welcome a Welsh Mari to our wedding in Llangennith in 2006 Llantrisant Mari Llwyd


The Rhossili (Gower) horse now about 100 years made a guest appearance at our folk club Christmas party last Sunday. Rhosilli (Gower) Midwinter horse
