IMPERIAL PONIES

 Mark Bullen attributes a lot of the success of Imperial Stud to his eye for importing top quality stock and his emphasis on bloodlines in breeding. We are pleased to welcome visitors to see the ponies at our stud in Upper Lurg, Victoria

WELSH MOUNTAIN PONIES

 The Welsh Mountain Pony is a popular choice as a small riding pony for beginners being reliable and usually of having a good temperament. The Welsh Mountain Pony is comparatively smaller than the other four types.

WELSH PONIES

A Welsh Pony was developed primarily as a riding pony. They are usually not bigger than 13.2hh and were considered a good ‘second pony’ for young riders, with the potential to develop jumping skills.

Our Story

However, I also have a lifelong personal interest in Welsh ponies and cobs, an interest which led to the opportunity for a trip of a lifetime when I was invited to attend and speak at the Welsh Pony and Cob Society of America’s (WPCSA) Annual Convention in Denver, Colorado.
