WELSH SECTION B PONIES
We are a third generation family run stud - breeding and producing the Welsh Section B pony.
Many years ago when our children were small, we were absolutely passionate about the welsh pony - in particular, the section B ponies. Many of the ponies that we had were shown successfully in hand and on the lead rein at County level shows throughout the UK.
We often discussed breeding with the ponies and in 2020, we decided to commence our breeding programme by importing several ponies from top breeders in the UK. We are very selective and we are are constantly seeking to refine what we are doing, so that we can offer our very best.
Two ponies that were very influential to us, in terms of providing us with our ideal type and in their origins, were Brookhall Dominant Air and Thistledown Corncockle. They were the ponies that provided the motivation to begin to develop the breeding programme that we are aiming for. It is still very much in the early stages because we decided to start it with young ponies - weanlings, so that we could carefully select them for type and origins - and raise them from the beginning in the way we wanted.
We aim to breed top quality, and that makes us very stringent on what we will retain and breed with, even if it means that we do not produce a large number of foals each year.
We want to breed a pony that is correct, with good movement and one that retains breed type.
After that, we would like to see them be useful and successful in a variety of different disciplines - and this can be best achieved if they are as correct as they can be to start with.
Our main and influential reproductors have been imported directly from the UK/Wales and have been selected because of their super bloodlines, traditional type and very correct conformation - we won't accept anything less than "pretty much perfect!"
Each year we have a few foals, "quality not quantity". We don't breed to produce numbers. We breed towards an ideal — and every generation must bring us closer to it, breeding more ponies is easy, breeding better ponies, with purpose and consistency, is the real challenge.
If you are looking for a welsh section B pony, with proven competition origins, true to the "old fashioned" breed type, with exceptional movement, character and conformation, we could have the pony for you. Our foundation stallions and mares have been selected from top, traditional breeders with solid and proven bloodlines.
We aim to breed versatile ponies to be used for all disciplines, for every type of rider.
