Watchbank Welsh Ponies

Section B's & quality small Welsh part breds

We started breeding ponies when our daughter Emily outgrew her Section B lead rein pony Thornton Charm. Her breeding contained several generations of influential Downland ponies and we have tried to cross this with Solway Master Bronze breeding for the superb temperament.

The part-breds and riding ponies came along when Emily outgrew her 12.2 Ainsty Singing Susie, again with very interesting breeding. Susie is a full sister to Ainsty Merry Maid
