Description The Wild Ponies of Wales

I created this painting since I have fond memories of visiting Wales with my Mom. It was my first and last time getting on the back of a wild pony (and being thrown!) at 8 years old!

I was awestruck as a child and never forgot the beauty of these wild creatures roaming free.

Beautiful!! I love horses.
I've never been to Wales (or anyplace overseas, for that matter).
My family has a mixed heritage with quite a bit of Irish and my
own name "Rhonda" is Welsh.

Thank you Rhonda, which is a beautiful name!
My Mother was Welsh and I was able to go there twice. Really hope to go back in the next couple of years!

One day in a couple of years, I intend to go with my hubby! We will certainly do that!
