Welsh Ponies Section B

   Welsh Ponies, Section B, are bred at Millcroft,  to produce free moving ponies, with quality, height and  substance.

  Much importance is attached to breeding Welsh ponies for their riding qualities, so the forehand is naturally light

    and the hocks easily engaged, in order to excel under saddle, in showing, dressage and jumping.  Qualities which

      have  produced top class Mountain and Moorland ridden , Workers  and  Driving ponies.
