The quartet of palominos came from Peter and Ann Jones’s legendary west Wales-based Menai Stud.
“Other than a solitary Welsh cob stallion exported years ago, this is the first ever shipment of Welsh ponies exported to Argentina,” explained Peter, who breeds Welsh ponies of all sections as well as cobs.
The four mares are sired by the illustrious palomino stallion Newtonhill Naughty Boy Charlie, who in turn is by the prolific Heaton Romeo.
They were all descendants of the black Welsh section B stallion of the 1960s Menai Shooting Star and of a line bred continuously at Menai for over 100 years.
