This is the story of three ladies who formed a musical partnership called The Dorian Trio in the early twentieth century. By World War II they had turned their attention to farming in Llanarth, Ceredigion where they kept Welsh indigenous breeds. Their main interest was Welsh cobs. The Llanarth stud became world famous; their knowledge of genetics added impetus to the quality and standard of their stock. They were winners at international events. The three ladies were single-minded achievers and later they bequeathed the enterprise to University College of Wales, Aberystwyth for safekeeping. This, sadly, ended in absolute tragedy.
