Whiskyjack Welsh Ponies & News

Our goal is to raise ponies with good personality, right movement and good conformation.  We sell quite a few kids ponies, so quiet personality is a must in our breeding program. We take  pride in our ponies that we have produced ,we are proud to offer them for sale to good homes. All of  our ponies are athletic, correct and most 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 farm is located northeast of Edmonton Alberta, by a little town called Ashmont, we raise our ponies on 160 acres of land.

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.
