| History | The origin in uncertain, probably descended from Celtic pony. Bred in the mountains and wild regions of Wales for many generations, their acknowledged beauty does not mean they are merely a ´pretty toy´ - centuries of ´survival of the fittest´ has ensured the sound constitution, iron hard limbs and great intelligence which combined with the legendary Welsh temperament, makes the ideal child´s pony of today. They can be seen ridden and driven all over the world - equally at home in the cold of Canada and Sweden or the heat of Africa and Australia. |
