Details about The Welsh Mountain Pony Wynne Davies
The Welsh Mountain Pony, or Welsh Section A, is the most popular of the British native breeds, and is widely considered to be one of the most attractive pony breeds in the world. This book examines their beginnings and charts their course from the working pony of the Welsh hills to the show pony and children's pony par excellence of today. It examines how the combination of the harsh conditions on the hills and judiciousbreeding, helped by improvement societies and government schemes, resulted in the healthy, intelligent pony of excellent confirmation which we see today. Of interest to the breeder and historian will be the detailed attention given to selected studs, including Coed Coch and Revel, whose prefixes appear in the pedigrees of so many modern ponies. The spread of the pony overseas and its successes from Holland to South Africa are also listed. Excellent condition of book. Having a clearout please view my other items can combine postage. Thanks
