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.
He is spectacular from every angle.
