MORWYN LADY JULIANN
A Truly Exceptional First Pony
12hh | 14 years | Registered Welsh Section B Mare | Deep Liver Chestnut
£4,500 ONO | Wigton, Cumbria
A beautiful, exceptionally kind and wonderfully sensible first pony, very sadly offered for sale as outgrown.
Complete with rugs and two sets of clean, serviceable tack, all included in the price. An ideal first pony package, ready for her next little rider.
Juliann combines the elegance and quality of a beautifully bred Welsh B show pony with the patience, intelligence and extraordinary good sense of a much-loved children's pony.
A striking, deep liver-chestnut mare with a refined Welsh head, elegant proportions and a wonderfully quiet presence. With her rich colouring and dark mane and tail, she looks like a miniature Stubbs' Whistlejacket.
But beautiful as she is, it's her temperament that makes her truly special.
A lead-rein pony without the lead rein!
Perhaps Juliann's most remarkable quality is her exceptional responsiveness to voice commands.
She gives a young child the wonderful feeling of riding independently while remaining attentive to an adult supervising nearby.
From several metres away, simply call "Trot" and she trots, "Walk" and she walks, "Whoa" and she stops. Call her name and she looks towards you. Ask her to "Step up" or "Step down" and she understands exactly what you mean.
Even at Pony Club, when the instructor calls "TROT!" across the arena, Juliann is already obligingly trotting before her little rider has quite organised her own legs!
For a beginner, this is a wonderful advantage. The child can concentrate on balance and learning their aids while an adult helps guide Juliann with familiar voice commands.
The pony who taught our daughter to ride
When Lily first started riding Juliann, she was a very nervous girl.
We would stand Juliann beside our raised paving so Lily could climb into the saddle. Sometimes Lily would cry, get halfway on, change her mind and climb down again.
Juliann simply stood.
And stood.
And stood.
Sometimes for half an hour, without moving a foot or showing the slightest impatience.
When Lily finally found the courage to get aboard, Juliann would set off at the gentlest dawdle imaginable, quietly walking along our local footpath, unconcerned by double-decker buses, cyclists, barking dogs or the bustle around her.
When Lily was ready to trot, Juliann responded to our voice commands with the smoothest, slowest little trot imaginable. If Lily bounced crookedly or lost her balance, Juliann would slow down and steady herself beneath her.
It was almost as though she understood exactly what her little rider could manage.
Today, Lily rides independently, hacks out, attends Pony Club, schools and enjoys popping small jumps.
Juliann has been her patient, sensible companion every step of the way.
Beautiful breeding and exceptional early handling
Juliann is Morwyn Lady Juliann (WPCS 168309), a fully registered Welsh Section B mare by Morwyn Bronze Ensign out of Morwyn Princess Nectarina, with four generations of pedigree recorded in her passport.
She was bred by the late Mrs Audrey Weaver of Morwyn Stud, North Wales, a respected Welsh pony breeder and exhibitor.
Audrey was a member of the Welsh Pony and Cob Society from 1962 and was a founding member and first secretary of the Clwyd Welsh Pony and Cob Association, serving until her retirement in 2014.
Juliann was extensively shown in-hand as a youngster. Her refinement, quality and lovely manners reflect her breeding and years of experienced, sympathetic handling.
A wonderful little personality
Juliann is affectionate, intelligent, inquisitive and thoroughly convinced that she is the most important member of the family!
She always whinnies when she sees us coming and is invariably waiting at the gate to greet us. She adores being groomed, fussed over and generally admired, and is particularly fond of peppermints.
She is wonderfully accustomed to busy family life. Our eight cockapoos regularly race out barking and bouncing to greet her, and Juliann is always delighted to see them!
She has lived happily with our other horses, but we have preferred keeping her at home in the garden, where she enjoys having everyone's attention to herself.
A proper little Welsh lady, with a beautiful face, a kind personality and a wonderful respect for the rules.
Ridden experience and suitability
Juliann has been an exceptionally steady, patient and forgiving first pony throughout our ownership.
She is not sharp, fizzy or inclined to rush. She is accustomed to everyday traffic, including buses, cars, cyclists and dogs, and has happily hacked out independently.
She has enjoyed Pony Club activities, schooling and small jumps, and is naturally more inclined to slow down than speed up.
She has a lovely, balanced trot and is not being sold as a forward-going competition pony or ambitious jumping prospect. Her real talent is helping a young rider develop balance, independence and confidence at a comfortable pace.
Her vaccinations are up to date as of November 2026. At the same visit, her vet checked her heart and teeth, recording both as satisfactory in her passport.
Recent ridden photographs and videos from November 2026 are available, showing her schooling and participating in Pony Club activities.
A very reluctant sale
We are only selling Juliann because Lily has grown too big for her.
She has been a treasured member of our family and has given our daughter the most wonderful introduction to riding.
We are looking for another loving, knowledgeable family who will appreciate her beauty, breeding, character and extraordinary patience, and where she can give another young child the same happy start.
Some ponies teach children to ride. Juliann has the rare ability to make a child feel like a rider before they've quite learned how.
