Welsh ponies and cobs
-show quality stock for sale and wanted-
Regrettably we cannot keep all the foals so each year we reluctantly part with some to five star homes.
We specifically only breed from exceptional mares and stallions and pride ourselves on producing very well tempered,
big and straight moving ponies and cobs that are very true to type with bundles of quality and character.
You can therefore be confident that all our foals are from the very top bloodlines, with fantastic conformation and genuine
and kind temperaments. Enquiries from overseas purchasers are also welcome - We have exported and sold a number of
ponies and cobs throughout Europe and can help with export arrangements Worldwide. Please contact us with any enquiry.
We are very proud of all our foals. Ponies and cobs bred at Taraco have been exported far and wide and many have gone
on to succeed at National, County and Association level in hand, as well as to be great success stories under saddle
and in harness for their owners.
All our horses are regularly wormed, attended to by farrier, chiropractor, dentist or vet
as necessary and are all open to any inspection or vetting. They are sympathetically weaned, handled and halter
broken, and new owners frequently report how quickly they settle in to their new homes without any sign of
stress or anxiety something we put down to both their great temperaments and the start in life they get.
You will find cheaper foals for sale but unlike some breeders we do not look to cut corners in any aspect of
their care or upbringing so our foals are not compromised in anyway. So if you are looking for a top show quality
welsh mountain pony or cob, that has had a great start in life, and can offer an amazing home yourself please
email me or call on 07941487616. The home is much
more important than money so the price can be negotiable.
