The POA has a solid past with 50 years as a registered breed with a very exciting future!

COPOAC FAQ's:

What is a POA?

This breed was created especially for kids when breeders crossed ponies with the Appaloosa horse to produce a smaller, colorful mount ranging from 11.2 to 14 Hands in size. Over the years the breed has been refined and crossed with other popular breeds, such as Quarter Horse and Arabian.

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 State 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.
