IMPORTANT INFORMATION

What is a POA?

The best source for what is a POA would be to visit the website dedicated to our breed at www.poac.org. Every POA must be inspected at various times as they are maturing. One handy source for clarifying the color and characteristics of a POA would be the breed inspectors handbook, which is full of full color graphics describing all the Appaloosa coloring and characteristics that make each pony unique. http://www.poac.org/club/registration/POAC-inspectors-guide.pdf
Where can I find a POA of my own?

We love to help match ponies with people of their own. Even if you don't see a pony that matches what you're looking for on our page, please feel free to contact us and we will try to help in any way we can. There are several pages on Facebook dedicated to helping people find a pony of their own. Check out POA Owners and POA Enthusiasts to start.
What events can I show my POA in?

A POA can be shown in literally any event - they are bred to be the all around versatile pony for the whole family. Many ponies will show in the pleasure events all morning, show trail, driving and jumping over lunch and do the game events all evening. Outside of the breed show circuit, POAs are showing in every arena from the hunger jumper circuits to skijouring. You can find a POA working in the stock yards, roping and sorting. You name it - you can find an event to show your pony off to the world.
Aren't POA's just for kids?

While the POA was originally bred as a youth horse, POAs are ridden and shown by riders of all ages. Many are big bodied and more than tall enough for men, women, children and even the grandparents to enjoy. While the POA can not be taller than 14 hands to be considered show eligible, because of their stature, we can all enjoy our ponies for years and years.
