Welsh Pony and Cob Association of Ontario

Welsh Pony and Cob High-Point Award Program for ponies competing in Central Ontario Pony Club

These awards are for the animals that have accumulated the most points by participating in any Central Ontario sanctioned pony club event or activity throughout the show season.  Points are awarded to the pony, rather than to the rider and the award is given to the best “All Around High Point” pure-bred or Half Welsh Pony or Cob. This year the awards were sponsored by Howran Hills Farm of Peterborough, Ontario. 

The successful high-point owners were presented with their awards at the banquet for the Central Ontario Region, held on October 29^th.  There were no submissions for Half-Welsh this year.  The winners of this year’s Purebred Welsh awards were:
