Foals

As any regular visitor will know, I only keep and breed welsh ponies and cobs for a hobby so there have only been a few foals over the years. Please find information/ photos and links to those foals below - and if you own a Taraco Welsh Pony or Cob please keep in touch - its great to hear how they are doing. Please click on the photos to see more information, pedigree and pictures of the ponies.

2009 Foals

Another exceptional year here at Taraco Stud and I was blessed with 8 fantastic foals. We were trhilled with two beautiful welsh section D fillies (Taraco Bonita and Taraco Amira) both of whom have been retained as future broodmares. With three stunning welsh section D colts it was hard to choose a favourite! Taraco Morocco, Taraco Firecracker and Taraco Fabio were all fantastic in their own ways but we were priviliged to sell Morocco to a lovely home in Wales whilst Taraco Fabio was sold to Denmark. The stunning welsh mountain pony colt Taraco Rockstar followed the international trend and was exported to France. Click here to see details of the 2009 foals. 

2008 Foals

I was really lucky to have seven beautiful foals in 2008 - the lovely coloured fillies Taraco Karina and Taraco Echo; the beautiful welsh cobs Taraco Fiorenza (sold to Holland), Taraco Bendigo (sold to Czech Republic), Taraco Fireblade (retained) and the mountain pony foals Taraco Camaro and Taraco Rosetta (retained).
