Product Description

Product Description
The Native British Spotted Pony with its exotic coat pattern has survived in this country for thousands of years. With her wealth of practical experience and historical research, the author traces this unique British breed form the earliest recorded times, explains its many virtues, and provides numerous colour photographs of these delightful ponies, both at work and play. Although the popularity of the breed, and hence its numbers, has increased over recent years, the author hopes that this book will bring the many advantages of such a distinctive breed to the attention of a much wider audience.

About the Author
Mary Bassett is one of the world's leading experts on spotted ponies and has been breeding Native British Spotted Ponies seriously for the last twenty years. As the most prolific producer in this country, she has exported Bromells spotted ponies to Holland, Sweden, Denmark and Switzerland, where they have had a great impact on the breed of those countries. In 1983 she established the famous four-in-hand Broomells Spotted Driving Team, which quickly rose to national and international fame. In 1995 she organised the first International Spotted Pony Conference. As current chairman of the Spotted Pony Breed Society (Great Britain) and a judge both in this country and abroad, Mary Bassett has probably done more than anyone else to promote the virtues of this unique British breed.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent guide, 24 Feb 2003

By	L. Y. Skipper "zareeba" (Stockton-on-Tees, UK) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

Spotted horses and ponies are generally referred to as types rather than breeds, principally because spotting can occur in almost any breed. However, by limiting outcrosses to just four native breeds (Shetlands, Dartmoor and Welsh, up to 14.2hh., the Spotted Pony Breed Society (GB) has encouraged the breeding of a type which, although it cannot yet be called a 'closed breed' (i.e. with no outcrosses allowed), nevertheless combines hybrid vigour with an increasingly recognisable 'type'.

Mary Bassett is one of the world's leading experts on spotted ponies, and The Native British Spotted Pony provides an attractive introduction to the increasingly popular spotted pony.

5.0 out of 5 stars Native British Spotted Pony by Mary Bassett. SPBS(GB), 13 Nov 2002

By	Angie Ward (Ripley, Derbyshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

Mary Bassett the Author of this well illustrated book, is the Chairman of "The Spotted Pony Breed Society (Great Britain)". The ONLY Breed Society to embrace the concept of a Truly Native British Spotted Pony. The Society is totally dedicated and committed to preserving this natural British Breed. I believe the ponies themselves without the support of such, may well suffer by way of their existence in our world today. Just as the ponies are themselves, the book is absolutely wonderful in its every form. Anyone with an interest or love of ponies especially British Native Ponies, or even more so those with the spotted coat pattern will find this book most interesting and informative. !!!
