A Visit with America's Tulip King

Not only is Jack the Tulip King of America, he is the country's largest breeder of Dartmoor ponies. Yes! Jack is trying to save the Dartmoor pony from extinction by breeding them himself in South Carolina. Nestled in the beautiful foothills of the mountains, Jack's small holding supports what has become a valuable contribution to saving the Dartmoor pony as it struggles to retain its original breed.

Jack sells tulip bulbs to make a living and by planting these we can help save the pony and Jack's business as he struggles with the current depression.
