Please share your little welshies. I'm sure lots of you have them as they're about as addictive as arabs. I went from 0 to 3 before I knew it! They're like ragwort, turn your back and another one appears in your field! 
Here's my little herd, little treasures...
Couldn't work out why my little grey was getting so fat and the others were maintaining, that is til I found her stealing the winter grazing over the fence 
Please can we have some more

This is our little Welsh Sec A - Felledge Rupert
He arrived this spring as a companion for Connor after we sold Bertie
Hes 4 yrs old and has been in 'care' all his life until he came to us. Part of an RSPCA case
Hes a real character and the boss of our little herd! |

What little angels, I love Welshie's, we have one on the yard and he's fabulous. Very field wise little chap with a cheeky personality. First at the gate in winter ready to sneak past the bigger horses but prefers to think he's back on the Welsh hills in summer.

Nooo Pasch don't tempt me! I tell myself welsh mountains don't come in black and defo not palomino!
Rosie your little guy is v handsome 
Does anyone drive their ponies? How cute would it be to do that. Maybe when I'm too old to ride I can then retire the Arabs and get the ponies out in a little trap!

He is just scrumptious! Do please post more pics when he arrives
Fee, love your burgeoning herd of tinies - who is the third member and when did you get her? You could drive all three of them at once - I think it's called driving unicorn...
A lady drives a welsh sec A near us, even through the middle of our quite busy town. Her two spaniels sit under her seat, it looks really fun! But if you want to go shopping you have to have a groom to hold the pony (and keep an eye on the dogs) for you while you are off marketing, I suppose in the old days the shop staff would come out and hold them if you had gone out on your own. |

Rosie, Rupert is lovely and being a Welshie will have the character and confidence to live with Conner and such a perfect home for him after being in care.
How gorgeous is Glenisla Peter Pan, wow what a handsome little chap.
Our resident Welshie does a grand job for his junior rider, forward going, challenging enough for her to learn but safe.
Have to say though there are times in the field or when catching or turning out I am glad he's only small and not as big as he thinks he is lol |

thanks Ari, we also have a C, Ollie, had him since he was a foal, sold him last year at 6yrs old and he was getting passed form pillar to post and I just couldn't see this happen to him., so bought him back a few weeks ago, and he wont ever be sold again, he carries Jemma no bother, so she is having fun over the winter on him and we will decide if we are going to loan him next spring.
A few of him from last year just before we sold him, and a couple from a few weeks ago at dressage, just after we got him back

| I love Sec As. I grew up in west wales and my cousins always had As on the farm. They did pony trecking and when finished for the day we used to get the cows in on them. They are such characters. The one i used to ride was called sparrow and he was a little bu++er. Head between his knees and go, butout trecking good as gold. My cousins always had grew ponies.... then the arab arrived. |

I have a welsh A that is a companion for my boys. He is 99% blind in both eyes as a result of being beaten with a scaffolding pole during a round up on the mountains when he was 6 months old :-(
He leads a happy life with my 2 Arab boys, as long as he can hear the electric fence clicking he's ok!

| Oh dear little soul, how well he has adapted, and thank goodness he has a home where he is safe now. |

Just got a new little Welshie on the yard, came with his field mate a 3 yr old thoroughbred. After very careful introduction to the herd Romeo the Welshie looked after his mate for just one day and now he is one of the boys and playing like he's been here years leaving his pal to learn his own social skills. Fabulous little characters.
Nicola, poor little chap for what happened to him but he's overcome it so well with you and his Arab pals. |
