Cefnoakpark Bouncer

Welsh Pony Driving Champion 

In 2005, Cefnoakpark Bouncer, a Welsh Pony imported from Wales in 2000, took the driving world by storm when he and driver Suzy Stafford won the Individual Gold medal at the FEI Pony Driving World Championships held in Devonshire, England. The first entry from the United States to accomplish this, Bouncer and Stafford earned the best score out of 81 entries from 16 countries after only a few weeks of preparation. The duo continued to excel that year, receiving two more driving Grand Championships in the United States. Bouncer was also a Farnam-Platform/USEF Horse of the Year Finalist, nominated by the American Driving Society and the Welsh Pony Society.
