Born 2006. Ffion had a fantastic showing season in 2009 winning the three year old filly class and championships at Lampeter and Glanusk Stallion shows. The highlight was winning her class and reserve youngstock championship at the Royal Welsh Agricultural Show and receiving the Welsh Pony and Cob Society Gold Medal. Ffion will no doubt continue her showing career, but for the moment is having a well deserved rest - if that's what you can call being a new mum!!.
