Hermione is one of three Welsh Mountain Ponies imported from the UK that we have here at The Willows. Her breeder is Mrs. M.S. Morris. She was imported as a foal by Kathleen Rawls and we purchased her from Kathleen. She had two foals for Kathleen and one for us sired by *Tillybo Casanova. Hermione is a big bodied mare standing a little over 11.3 hands. She is chestnut with sabino pattern. She is our most colorful mare with white extending up her left hip and four white legs. She has very substantial bone but retains a feminine look. Hermione is by far the "biggest" mover we have here. By that, we mean that she extends, reaches, and suspends. She has the most suspension we've seen in a Welsh Mountain Pony in the USA. And she passes this to her foals. Her 2019 foal, Yum Yum, has the same great movement as her dam. In addition to movement, Hermione is a true child's pony. She is quiet, sweet natured, and protective of little ones, whether they are children, foals, or chickens. :) Yum Yum has the same great temperament. The first to greet you at the gate, curious, bright, and sweet. We're very excited to see what Hermione produces from her cross with Asgard Squire for our Design-A-Foal client in 2021. She will be available for a breed back in 2021 as well for a 2022 foal.
