importantly have the desire to succeed in any discipline. We are breeding some of
the best genetics in our ponies to make them successful in any discipline, such as sport
ponies, kids ponies or harness ponies. All of our sale ponies have been handled extensively,we personally know each ponies disposition and personality. We handle our foals extensively, the day they are born to make them a safe pony and lots love does help, plus manner training as foals. Our welsh ponies are wormed on a regular basis, receive their shots and regular farrier work. All our ponies are handled and worked on a regular basis.

Our Scotch Collie Buddy, Buddy loves to be with the ponies.
Here are some old pictures of me & my brother when we were kids, we all learn how to ride on a Welsh Cob mare.
My first Welsh pony was a Welsh cob named Queenie. I learned to ride her at the age of four years old and my mom said that I would put a pail of grain down on the ground, then when Queenie would put her head down to eat the grain ,I would climb on her neck and when she raise her head I would slide on her back. I rode bare back for years until I got my first horse name trigger at the age 12. Queenie was a great kids pony, five kids would ride her at once and we would play "London Bridge" going under her stomach. Everyone in the family learned to ride on her and even the neighbor kids; no one was ever hurt on her. We would also slide off her rear end, go between her hind legs and front legs. Queenie had a heart of gold and was a very good babysitter for all of us kids.
