The premium stallions and auction sales are described here with detailed figures and special attention is given to selected influential studs. The spread of the breed overseas is also described, and a chapter is devoted to the part-bred animal.

Dr. Wynne Davies has been a member of the Welsh Pony and Cob Society since 1948 and continues to maintain the famous Ceulen stud that his father started in 1904.
