Have you ever heard of the Welara Pony? I learned about this breed when my husband and I recently purchased one for our daughters. It sort of fell into our lap one day. We were visiting with my in-laws two days before Christmas and they disclosed to us that a close friend of theirs had passed and he had an \u201carab pony cross\u201d that needed a new and loving home. He used her frequently for endurance and trail riding and was a \u201cbomb-proof little pony\u201d. I immediately agreed, but I still didn’t know exactly what breed she was.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To be completely honest, I’ve never been a huge fan of either Arabians or ponies. I\u2019ve grown up in the Western Riding world and neither of those breeds you see very often. Arabs are known to be a bit high-strung and well-versed in the endurance and English scene and ponies have a general consensus of being terribly unlikeable and even aggressive (making them less than desirable for children which they are often used for).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Anyways, a few days later when she was brought home my in-laws said she was a Welsh Arab cross. After that, I began my online search to learn more about her. I wanted to know everything; breed, characteristics, temperament, genetics, colors, etc. This led me to the Welsh pony Arab cross known today as the Welara.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re anything like me and you’re unsure as to what this breed is let me tell you a few things I\u2019ve learned and my experience with her so far.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
