This book consists of two informative letters sent to a friend, detailing the history, characteristics, and qualities of the Welsh pony, a breed distinguished for its beauty and utility. Engaging with both personal anecdotes and thorough research, Dargan provides a thoughtful examination of this beloved equine breed, making it a unique blend of both a travelogue and a commentary on animal breeding.
