The founders of this youth oriented breed
registry set out to develop a quality mount for children.
A quiet disposition, quality conformation and color are
still the most important traits considered in the POA
breeding programs of today.
Kids and POAs develop special bonds. It comes from
being similar in size. Youngsters can comfortably handle
the everyday tasks associated with riding, like picking
out hooves or brushing the mane and tail. They can "reach
the pedals," so to speak.
Our 19 & over program provides an avenue for adults
to compete using registered POAs four years and younger.
This helps ensure a steady supply of well-trained ponies.
Since the halter and pleasure driving divisions also
have classes for adults, a POA show offers something
for the whole family.
We welcome your calls and requests for further information
on the POA.
