Welsh pony owners

My vets have always said this, but they include ALL pony breeds. Something about the about of tranq needed is inversely related to their size. Funny ponies.

:lol:

All are very light and responsive, no nagging needed from my legs, easy to rate to a fence and no need to haul on their mouths to steer or halt - only a shift in body weight and a stilling or change of direction of the seat.

what riding animals should be

I have one who I am just starting, she is proving to be much like her siblings - that born broke type we all hear about…oh and she’s half TB. Given my others, despite her TB parent being a doll, I am not exactly quick to give all the credit to the TB half :winkgrin: but then you must realize that this is MY perspective.

you have made Maria and I smile on our lunch break :slight_smile:

My experience has been that they are very easy.

My Section A is the easiest equine I’ve ever dealt with honestly. Sensible, perfect amount of sensitivity, EASY to train, wants to please, not a mean bone in his body. I have, however, seen some Section A’s that have been very hot. The breeds that he has been crossed on he has really brought forth those traits as well.

I have three Section B’s, they are all VERY different personalities, but all lovely animals. One is super sweet, mellow, easy easy easy. Another is incredibly smart, a real “look at me”, more sensitive, but very level headed. And the stallion is a little cautious of things are first, but is also very smart, and I’ve noticed he really bonds to “his” person. Most B’s I’ve met have been very easy.
