Pony of the Americas Club

The Pony of the Americas Club (POAC) is a national organization dedicated to promoting the Pony of the Americas breed, which is a small horse breed developed in the United States. The breed was created in the 1950s by crossing Appaloosa horses with other pony breeds, resulting in a versatile and colorful pony suitable for children and young riders. The POAC was established to support the breed's development, encourage responsible breeding practices, and provide educational resources for owners and enthusiasts. The club organizes events, competitions, and educational programs to foster a community around the breed and its unique characteristics.

Since its inception, the POAC has grown to include members across the United States and beyond, offering a platform for pony owners to connect, share knowledge, and participate in various activities. The organization emphasizes the importance of youth involvement in equestrian activities, aiming to instill a love for horses and responsible horsemanship in younger generations. Through its events and programs, the POAC continues to promote the Pony of the Americas as a family-friendly breed that excels in various equestrian disciplines.
