This photo illustrates why we think *Wedderlie Mardi Gras is the best thing going
in today's Section B Welsh Ponies:

Mardi's movement is ALL NATURAL and has not been "enhanced" with creative shoeing or other gimmicks.
NATURAL movement is passed on genetically, artificially enhanced movement is not.

Visit Mardi's extensive video clip gallery to see him in motion in-hand, under saddle and in harness.
He is spectacular from every angle.
