What is a POA?
The POA ranges in height from 46 to 56 inches at the withers. They must exhibit characteristics and an approved coat pattern to be eligible for registration. You can get a POA by breeding registered POAS or by crossing a registered POA with a registered horse or pony of an approved breed or by crossing a registered POA with a grade horse. If you have a pony with unknown ancestry that exhibits the approved characteristics of POAs, it can be hardshipped into a registered POA! We have a national inspector that will inspect and determine if your pony can be registered. You can go to "Contact Us" to reach our national inspector.
Why own a POA?
They are used successfully for pleasure and trail riding, driving, show competition, jumping, dressage and gymkhana events. The POA is a pony of action. Many 4-H and United States Pony Club members choose POAs for their excellent disposition and all around ability. Many POA families have several generations involved since at a POA sanctioned event there is something for everyone.
