Approved Welsh Pony & Cob Society of America

We are honored to have three-time WPCSA National Champion Welsh Cob stallion Goldhills Brandysnap at Daventry Farms. Brandysnap is owned by Goldhills Welsh in Herald, California. He will be standing at Daventry Farms while he makes his debut in the dressage and hunter rings and completes his Legion Of Merit with the Welsh Pony & Cob Society of Canada. It is extremely rare that such a talented Cob stallion makes his way to Canada and we are proud to have him at our facility. Many thanks to the Verkuyl Family for this incredible opportunity and allowing Western Canada to see what a true Welsh Cob is!
Brandysnap is the epitome of what a Sport Pony stallion should be. He was a WPCSA Legion of Merit winner at the age of four, three time WPCSA National Section D Champion, WPCSA American National Supreme Champion, as well as earning WPCSA points in English and Western Pleasure, Carriage and Pleasure Driving, Ridden Cob, Trail and Hunter, all with an amateur rider and all done in a plain old snaffle. His outstanding conformation has set him apart from others in the show ring and his willing attitude and expressive movement has proved him successful in performance. Brandysnap has a natural aptitude for piaffe and passage and gorgeous extensions. His athletic ability, eager to please nature and huge heart have made him easy to train in a wide variety of disciplines, winning over the hearts of many at the shows and creating a "Brandysnap fan club"! He entered the dressage ring for the first time in 2008, garnishing many Dressage Championships and High Score Awards at Training Level and has been Hunter Champion or Reserve Champion every time out. He was the winner of eight WPCSC Canadian National Awards in 2008 and another eight WPCSC National Awards in 2009!
No stranger to the show ring, Brandysnap was undefeated and won nine Supreme Championship at the age of two and was named the WPCSA U.S. National Champion Section D Colt. As a three year old, Brandysnap started his under saddle career, winning the Western Pleasure Championship at the 2006 WPCSA Western Nationals. To date, his halter career includes a total of nineteen Supreme Championships and eighteen Reserve Supreme Championships, fifty-four Section C/D Grand Championships and an incredible eighty-two first place ribbons from a total of ninety-one halter classes.

Section C/D Hunter Champion, Kalispell, Montana 2008
Brandysnap's sire, *Okeden Taffy LOM/AOE, both an International Supreme Champion and WPCSA US National Champion, has been WPCSA Section D Sire of the Year three years in a row in the United States and WPCSC Overall Sire of the Year two years in a row in Canada. During his performance career, he has been US National Champion in Western Pleasure and also had Championships in English Pleasure and Hunters. His daughter, Goldhills Hanky Panky LOM/AOE, has been a WPCSA U.S. National Halter Champion six years in a row. She is the youngest Pony or Cob to ever win a WPCSA LOM and the first Cob to win a WPCSA AOE. Brandysnap's full brothers, Goldhills British Sterling and Goldhills Butter Rum LOM are also both previous WPCSA U.S. National Champions. Brandysnap's younger sister, Goldhills Baklava, was named the 2008 WPCSA U.S. National Champion 2 & Under C/D Filly in her first year of showing.
Brandysnap's dam, *Okeden Britannia, is just shy of achieving her Dam LOM with the WPCSA. She has produced many successful National Halter and Performance Champions, and herself, won second place at the Royal Welsh. She is sired by *Llanarth True Briton, who is a two-time Royal Welsh winner, and as a four year old, placed second in the Ridden Cob class at the Royal Welsh.
