& Nefydd Buccaneer |
Arturo Alvarez Pou, 10
years old, & Nefydd Buccaneer, 6 year old Welsh Pony
Stallion, the only pony to exhibit at World
Equestrian Games, Jerez, 2002.
Arturo
and Bucky performed a musical freestyle exhibition each day at Jerez
2002 WEG. His father, Victor designed the freestyle
choreography. The music and the costume were designed by his
mother, Maya.
She wanted something completely out of the ordinary. The costume was
made in Barcelona and Maya made all of Bucky's, the numnah (saddle
pad), the
bandages, the gold bridle, the gold plait that she painstakingly
stitched into his mane every day. .... more
Bucky's owner, Sue Horey, and Arturo's
parents, came to our booth at Jerez WEG and asked if we would
please video their performance. "You must include how
thrilled we are with our videos!!!!!! Something for the
grandchildren to inherit! The video is all we expected and more.
The way you have filled the tape is superb. We managed 1 and a
half bottles of fine Spanish wine between us whilst watching it.
It is a recorded memory forever
and will be guarded like the crown
jewels. You really are professional, the tape is testament to
that. No fuss, no frills, just the story the way it was."

Welsh ponies |
Sue Horey, owner of Ribble
Valley Stud moved from her home in England to Spain and decided to
raise Welsh ponies.
"I certainly wasn't looking for anything else when,
lo and behold I saw this wonderful head over a stable door. I just
had to have that foal no matter what it was, male or female or how
much it cost. It was a colt foal, exactly what I didn't want!!!! But
I was in love and bought him on the spot,".... more |
