nice pics. :cool:
I want a field :(
Are those big enough to ride? What do you use them for otherwise as the adult looks pretty small.

My ex-wife sold her horse (well technically a pony @ 13.4 HH - but she was a sturdy beast and so is a horse in my book!) when we split, so these are ponies that belong to a friend. The Mum (Bodlon) would probably be able to carry someone up to about 8st and under 5'4" but I may be wrong - by no means an expert!
These are show ponies and not broken for riding though. Their owner shows Welsh Cobs and is well known on the show circuit. He has quite high hopes for the foal, as she is so well proportioned.
There is a fella up the road that keeps several horses as driving horses and shows these in the driving classes as well has going out on jaunts around the lanes in a buggy.

No you are right, I think Rhys was in the field when you came over. This is a new pony, after Rhys went back up to the farm to do what stallions do best!
This is Bodlon and her foal, Nerys.

:smt120 Whaaaaaaats that mean daaadddy? :rolleyes::p
Love horses me, could never get on one though. (No, that is not because they could not carry me, the lack of control is what does it for me)
Awww soo cute :) still love that pic you posted of the one that "dropped in for tea" lol

Took these back in Aber a fortnight ago :-) (and no they're not all the same foal, there were 4 in this field with their mums :cool: )

I think she is a Section 'B', she is about 12.5HH. The owner shows Welsh cobs.
all this fuss over 1 horse power... then again... F1 will pay £1,000,000 for that...
so it's great..
hows mum doing?

Yeah....I reckon you'll end up with a gorgeous little Strawberry Roan. She's beautiful Mike...and by the looks of her rump is about to shoot up again!
