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.
