Machno Carwyn is the best show-jumping pony stallion in Europe, and probably in the whole world. He is the only pony stallion ever to have won a gold medal at the European Showjumping Championships, which he won twice (and once 4th ridden by a young boy of 12). No other stallion has gained a medal in the 29 year history of the Championship. He is also the only pony stallion ever to win the Swiss National Championships, which he has won 4 times and once the bronze medal. This pony is simply a genius!
