Pied Piper Pony Stud specialises in the breeding of Riding ponies.

Welsh ponies  are suitable mounts for both children and adults. The modern Welsh Pony is known as a riding and driving pony. It is shown both in hand and under saddle, including hunter/jumper and dressage competition, and is a popular children's pony. They have a reputaton for intelligence, friendly personalities and even temperaments, allowing them to be easily trained. The Welsh breed is used for many forms of equestrianism, including pleasure riding, as well as horse show competition.

The Welsh Pony is a part of a group of ponies and horses native to Wales. For many generations these ponies were the hill farmers' main way of getting around the farm, herding sheep and wild ponies over rough and mountainous country. The ponies had to be hardy, sure-footed, balanced and fast to survive. These qualities, combined with a natural jumping ability, and the temperament of their Welsh Mountain Pony forebears make today's Welsh Pony second to none in whatever field his young rider may choose.

Nowadays the Welsh pony holds its own among our top class riding ponies both in performance competitions, such as working hunter pony competitions and in the show ring.

The Riding Pony was developed by a handful of dedicated, forward-thinking British breeders from a blend of Arabian, Thoroughbred, and British pony blood. 

English riding ponies are the ultimate in refinement, but it is that of a pony, not of a horse.  The conformation is very showy and elegant, with perfectly proportioned quarters, refined head and high tail set and adequate slope to the pasterns.

 The aim of the Pied Piper Pony Stud is to produce the ultimate child’s riding pony.
