Big thank you to Reverie Lane Welsh in Ontario for sponsoring our Welsh Youngstock Championship! We're so grateful for your support.

After being involved in the equine world for decades, Jackie Clarke purchased her first Welsh 12 years ago and has been a friend and supporter of the community ever since. Her small, personal herd (currently Section B, Half-Welsh, and Sport Pony) focuses not only on type, but also temperament that easily earns her ponies their place as treasured family companions and partners.
