Jonkers' Metyo is a Dutch part-bred welsh pony who was bred in Holland by M Elzinga.  Metyo was graded by the NWPCS in 2003 gaining high scores for his canter, character, behaviour in the stable and his capability as a sport pony.  In 2005, Jonkers' Metyo was placed 3^rd in the 5 year old Snuggy Hoods British Dressage Pony Championship scoring 70%.

Metyo’s bloodlines go back through several generations of outstanding riding ponies, who were selected for conformation, performance and temperament. Many people who use him today were riding his ancestors as children, which provides a sense of confidence about breeding from a healthy and reliable gene pool. Many of Metyo’s relatives are known for being successful competition ponies and horses; Downland Chancellor by Small-Land Mambrino, has been shown successfully as well as being an advanced eventer and grade B showjumper. Gazelle III was a TB mare and her influence is apparent both in Metyo and his offspring. They have a good length of limb and turn of speed, which was very apparent when he was hunting as he was able to keep up with a field of horses all day.

Metyo was bred and graded in Holland before coming to the UK as a 3 year old. He competed successfully in dressage with his first junior jockey and was 3rd in the Snuggy Hoods National Dressage Pony Championships as a 5 year old, scoring 70%.

He moved to his current home as a 6 year old and has since been hunting with the West Somerset Vale Hunt and show jumping in junior classes. His current jockey took the ride when she was 13 and says she loves being on him as he is so honest and loves to work.

Metyo has sired foals from as many horse mares as pony mares. He has repeat coverings booked for this season, as his first foals were particularly correct in both conformation and temperament. An international event rider used him on her ISH mare to reproduce the bloodlines of her best 3 day horse and they produced a fabulous filly.

His 2010 colt foal, Fairlight Mickey Finn was awarded a Higher First Premium in the Eventing section at the 2010 Solihull Futurity Evaluation.
