Greetings to everyone! ur names are Shannon and Neil Poss. We are from San Antonio, TX. I am not new to ponies or Arabians, but new to Arabian Ponies and Sport Ponies. I have had Arabians and ASPC Shetlands for many years. I had to sell all of my horses last year when I was diagnosed and began treatment for Leukemia. I am still undergoing treatment but feeling better and so much missed my horses. My husband and I now have two Arabian stalions, a Shetland stallion, and a QH cross mare. I became interested in Arabian ponies because the one purebred Arabian stallion I have is only 13 hands tall. I decided to do an internet search for Arabian ponies just to see if they exist and guess what, I found you guys. We will be looking for a couple of mares to add to our barn. Our guys can be seen at:

Thanks for the welcome! I'm from SE Alabama and we just purchased our son a yearling pony. He was being marketed as an unregistered sport pony. We picked him up this weekend and I finally got my hands on a copy of his parents' papers. His sire is registered as a Half Arabian w/ AHA. The sire's parents are both registered and approved  with American Sport Pony Registry (the dam received First Premium approval), but he himself was never registered w/ ASPR that I am aware of. I'm actually just now trying to gather info on Arabian Ponies and American Sport Ponies. My son is almost 6 and has expressed an interest in showing his pony in the long run, but we have a lot of learning to do first. We have 3 children and each child has their own horse/pony. We also homeschool which gives the kids a chance to spend lots of time with the horses. My 9 year old rescued a racking horse filly with his birthday money almost 2 years ago. This past spring when she turned 3 he started  her himself and has done a wonderful job. My youngest wanted to have the same experience so we located this pony as his birthday present (he'll be 6 in Dec.). I was pleasantly surprised by his pedigree. His breeder just never bothered to get him registered even though both parents are registered w/ different registries. He'll be 2 in April but is already so calm and laid-back. He doesn't have a name yet but hopefully we'll find something that suits him before long. I'm not sure about what I need to do to go about getting him registered or what registries he's eligible for and would appreciate any info and help. This is what I know about him:

Dam: Snow Pearl , reg. w/ American Paint Pony Registry

Sire: Rockridge Pandemonium (Half Arabian AHA) by Starglow Questor & out of Rockridge Cookie

 

Info on his sire & dam can be found at www.arabiansatrockridge.com

 

That's as far as I've gotten so far. I do know this little guy is a very nice mover. I have a friend that breeds Trakehners & Holsteiners so I do have a little bit of experience with Warmbloods so I know enough to recognize a horse with potential. I really want to do the right thing with this pony for my son. Any pointers & tips would be appreciated. I've only got 2 pictures of him right now, but they can be seen at :

www.grovestreet.com/jsp/picview.jsp?album=87918

 

Thanks,

Sherri

I just wanted to put this question out for all of you. Many of us have
our preferences and some really don't have a specific preference. Do
you like a certain color or purpose in mind, how about prefered
markings or pedigrees? What makes your Arabian Ponies special to you?

So tell us what you like and why! I look forward to your answers!

Hi my name is Gail I am from buckeye az. we have a llittle of
everthing for horses. We have 14 now we live on 3 acres so we feed
everything . We do a little of all kinds riding . my small arabian
mare has a buckel in reining and freestyle and 4th at year end in
cutting she shows english and western and does extream trail trials.
I breed her to a poa stud and got a cutie i breed my poa mare to a
arabian stue and got another cuteie they will be ready to start next
year. I mostly ride arabians. I have all my life. I love there heart
and willing try for whatever you ask. We do not have kids ,but seem
to have enough around. we started leting kids from church come out
and some where home schooled and come during the week. Then we
started hauling them to shows . We are in hopes this will be a part
of the next horse people to take our place. We have trained and
started colts all our lives. When IL got my poa that is what got me
intrested in ponys. our web site is www.trailwisehorses.com  I have
already ready read your intresting. Thanks Gail

I bred for sport, so a cross that ends up with jumping talent as well as
dressage gaits is
what I look for.

I like using Hackney Pony or Modern Shetland, along with sport-type Welsh cobs
or ponies
of cob type.  The Hackney and Modern Shetland give great hock use, and dressage
quality
movement to the foals.  Welsh is great too, but the risk exists of getting more
hunter-type
movement that sport-type movement.

My best cross to date is 1/2 BLUE STAR Arabian (Sport build), 1/4 Polish Arabian
(Park-
type), and 1/4 Hackney Pony (Harness Pony-type).  Very dressage movement,
upheaded
with great necks, excellent use of hocks.  I'm looking forward to a Arab x
Section C welsh
cross to be born in '09.

Color wise, I dislike gray, but don't mind it in the breeding herd.  My best
mare is gray.  I
look for specifically for bay, black or chestnut okay too.  Spots are a huge
turn off for me,
so anything pinto or appy is very out.  I won't add a pinto or appy-marked mare
to the
breeding herd, no matter how well she moves.  Dilute genes are not important.

I stand a purebred Arabian stallion, 13 hands, who is a great CDE pony and who's
offspring are also showing lots of sport talent.  I try to bred purebred for
pony size, but
very few of them have been cooperative.  So far the purebred offspring of my
pony sized
mares and stallion have all ended up 15 hands. The crossbred offspring are much
better at
keeping my planned size.

Hi Jean,

You are correct. You're memory is better than mine <wink>. We think Passion
is pretty cute too.
Thank you for the warm welcome.

Well, glad to know there are more fellow homeschoolers here too!  We

Hi Again Lisa!

If I remember correctly, You had a cute little bay arab mare your son
rode.  I used the pictures you sent and your story at Ride the West
this year and people thought she was pretty cute!  Glad to have you
here!

Thank you for the invitation. We have a small place just north of
Phoenix, Arizona. We have and raise Arabs and welsh cobs. Ironically
not all of my welsh cobs are pony height but our Arabs are ;) We
(daughter and I) primarily show dressage and my son is getting into
competitive trail. As a family we trail ride quite a bit and make it
an integral part of our conditioning program. Our goal is to continue
to breed both purebred and crossbred (of both breeds) that are well
rounded and athletic enough to compete and hold their own in a
variety of venues but not so large that this aging body can't mount
from the ground ;)  In this area, though Arabs are certainly popular,
we really haven't seen the pony market grow or catch on. I look
forward to reading what everyone else does with their ponies.

I have a double registered Half-Arabian Quarter Pony for sale. She is a
halter champion in both Breed and Open, and doing extremely well in
Eventing. This mare needs a intermediate rider. She is 13.0 hands and
trailers everywhere. She has also been on trail rides and gone to the
beach. She is currently being ridden and shown by a 12 year old. Check
her out on my website.

I would like to extend a big welcome to our new members!

Please feel free to tell us a little bit about yourselves!  Also if you
ahev some great tips you would like to share with us concerning barn
helps, pasture tips or great websites for equine products, please do
so!  This group is to serve and share!  The biggest thing I ask is that
you please respect the fact that children may be part of this group and
all comments must be kept G rated!  Thank you all, and again, WELCOME!

I am Jean and I am the founder of APRA and a breeder of Arabian Ponies,
mostly for my family but we do sell some from time to time.  We live in
Washington State on 60 acres and we mainly ride trail, parades and do
one big exhibition a year at the Ride the West All Breed Horse Expo in
May at the Spokane County Fairgrounds.  Out latest adventure is one of
my kids learning to do extreme trail saddle and bridle-less!  She will
be competing at Ride the West on one of our arab mares.  We have 6 kids
(which is why we have to have ponies) that we also homeschool!  It 's
because of the kids that we got into raising Arabian Ponies in the
first place.

I love them for the natural love for children and extreme inteligence.
they are versatile and easy to train and they are so beautiful to
boot!  I doubt I will ever be rich or famous for raising these ponies
but I love it none the less!

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
