Many new owners come to us after scaling down from larger breeds.  “After many years owning “big” ponies, I now have the best Sec A Welsh Pony!   My 10 year old gelding is currently competing in ADS Combined Driving.”

WPCSA shows are an excellent place to meet Welsh breeders and learn more about the breed.  A list of shows can be found on the calendar under the shows tab.  Visit our breeders directory, stallion listings, and classified ads section to find a Welsh pony of your own!
