The Welara is an American pony breed established in 1981. Originally from Southern California, the breed was established when Lady Wentworth began breeding the Arabian stallion Skowronek to Welsh pony mares imported from the Coed Coch stud in North Wales.
The ponies are very athletic and attractive, making them excellent children’s mounts. They combine the strengths of the Arabian and the Welsh pony. The animals are very good movers, with calm, kind, and gentle, yet lively and energetic, temperaments.
The Welara ponies have a fine head set on a muscular and arched neck. The back is short and compact, the hindquarters are powerful, and the shoulders nicely sloping. The legs are hooves are tough and strong. The breed comes in any color except appaloosa, and typically stand between 11.2 and 14.2 hh.
