I did get your email and will send them out to you after Thanksgiving.
I'm off to visit family!

Your question regarding how many, there are about 18 so far but this is
very new still as we just started this spring. My dream is to have the
Arabian Pony recognized by the Arabian Horse Association and have it be
a branch of them with all the same benefits they have to offer. I have
talk with someone who is friends with someone in AHA and hope that link
might be helpful! In the meantime, I am hoping that this will grow and
meet the needs of tracking pedigrees and provide a place for registry
for those that would not otherwise be able to be registered because
they are from two Half Arab parents or for those who purchased
obviously Arabian bred ponies but do not have information on their
backgrounds so they could be a starting point and registered as
breeding stock. It is also a place for someone who might not otherwise
be able to register with AHA who may want to have proof of ownership
and identification of their Arabian Ponies.

We want this to grow for the sake of those involved. We are blazing a
trail but by no means is this type of breeding new. Only registering
them as a breed is new. There are thousands of Arabian cross ponies
across North America so we simply want to bring them all together and
shwo the world what wonderful things they can do in the showring and in
the family! We want breeders who have been doing this for a long time
to be able to be recognized for the great work they do for the ponies
they love.

Every time we take our ponies to exhibitions, they are crowd pleasers
and are enjoyed by the spectators as well as the organizers. They have
been admired for their beauty as well as disposition and versatility.
We just want to world to see how many are already out there and why!

We also want to encourage breeders adn owners to be out in the public
view and to introduce them not as Half Arabians but as Arabian Ponies!
To say they are Half Arabians is only giving credit to half of what
makes that pony great to you. It is the whole pony we want to
recognize. We do differ with AHA in that we recognize but Arabian and
not Arabian parents on the pedigree as both sides are equally
important! Non Arabian pedigrees are recorded and tracked in all
offspring along side the Arabian heritage. Percentage of Arabian blood
is monitored carefully and pictures are to make sure that a breed
standard is eestablished and maintained.

Purebred Arabians that are within the height requirements are
encouraged as they are ideal in producing more Arabian type and keeping
with a good Arabian type standard.

I hope this answers some of your questions!

Thank you,

Jean
