I haven't been online much lately - and its all due to this boy...



He moved in at the end of last weekend, and we were prepping his new stall to make it nice and comfy when he arrived.

He's a Welsh Section C Pony and has just turned 3 years old. He's such a sweet boy! He's settling in really well and we're so happy to have him with us!

What does the section C stands for? I have not heard that before, does it have to do with their size/height?

Thanks guys! Its hard to believe that he's a licensed stallion, he has such great manners, and loves to be cuddled. As you can tell, I'm over the moon, and so is my daughter!

Here's a full body photo:

And here he is all kitted up and ready to go out for a drive!

I'm not a horse person (know nothin about them) but my wife is. I'm sure this guy will take up all your non-orchid time!

Niki, Thanks! You know you are welcome any time! Come on over!!

Becca, The Welsh ponies have four sections: A, B, C and D. The difference is mostly to do with height, but both B and C have the same height limit and are different from each other in bone and build. Section C has a heavier build, bigger bones, and more 'muscle'...

Here's some links that show the differences with pictures - always helpful!!

Ross, I'm loving every minute of it! So long as he doesn't get in the house and eat the plants, I'm happy!!
