editor’s Letter It’s that Time...

Breeding season!

This is an exciting time for every breeder! The anticipation of this years foal crop, and planning for the possibilities of next years! The prospects

Right about now, breeders and even trainers are taking stock of what we have in the barn, what we want or need and how we are going to either produce it, or acquire it.

We have to look honestly at our ponies strengths and weaknesses, and how to go about producing the very best we can. This process is sometimes painful, but long term, often very rewarding.

Our super writer Sara Brooks, took on a big project this issue, “Pony Breeding in North America” and did a remarkable job. We asked her to discover where exactly we are as a community and how we can grow in the coming years. Sara interviewed pony breeders, show organizers, and breed organizations to get their input. The answers were both thoughtful and candid. I encourage you to take a look. It’s a great read!

Its an interesting time in the pony industry, as every indicator shows ponies are increasing in numbers and popularity and have garnered more respect in the competition arena than ever before. And yet most breeders, stallion owners and organizers feel the industry is not unified and they feel unsupported. NOW, is the time to work together! To reach across breed lines and disciplines to help one another in our mutual goal of promoting ponies as competition mounts for children and adults alike.

As all of us dream about the little super star foals we are expecting this year, creating for next year, or choosing for our next partner, lets also dream about what the pony industry really can be. Then, go out and help make it so!

PQ is hoping to be a jump off point for a dialog that will help move the industry forward! Don’t forget to let us know YOUR thoughts on these issues!

f you’re reading this, then it’s safe to say that you have a stake in the future of pony breeding in North America; or at least an interest in the longevity of the same. Well, you are not alone. We here at Pony Quarterly wanted to take a hard look at North American breeding efforts in terms of strengths, weaknesses, and areas of opportunity. We enlisted some key players; pony breeders, horse breeders, registry representatives, and show organizers, to provide perspective and information about the myriad of important issues which exist within our community. We hope that this article will be the start to a very important conversation within the pony community; and that it will provoke further inquiry and ideas into how we can all make sure that the future of ponies in North America is bright and prosperous for everyone involved; especially the ponies!

First, we want to recognize the significance of the fact that North Americans are undoubtedly breeding stellar ponies for all disciplines, and that North American ponies are keeping up with the international quality established largely in the European market. There is also an increase in pony popularity among both adults and children, which is evident by the number of ponies competing at shows both locally and nationally, by the number of new pony breeders that commit themselves to quality breeding each year, and also by the conversations which are taking place amongst

First, we want to recognize the significance of the fact that North Americans are undoubtedly breeding stellar ponies for all disciplines, and that North American ponies are keeping up with the international quality established largely in the European market. breeders and riders with respect to the value of ponies as legitimate competition and pleasure mounts. We spoke to Kathy St. Martin, owner of Avalon Equine and breeder of both warmblood horses and German Riding Ponies, and she kindly weighed in on this issue. “I do think the quality exists here in North America,” says St. Martin. “I tend to get a lot of older and smaller women that are looking for, not necessarily a pony, but something under the 16-hand mark.” She goes on to say that “having a horse that was that ‘hony’ size – 14.3 hands to 15.3 hands - used to be the kiss of death, but now that baby boomers are aging up, they are looking for the quality of a warmblood in a smaller package.”

Open and Adult Amateur riders are by far the majority of the pony competitors at every level.” According to Carol, “this is the reverse of the perception that many people have that ponies are primarily ridden by children.”

Ann Daum Kustar, a representative of Rheinland Pfalz-Saar International (RPSI), also had some encouraging words regarding trends in the pony market that have manifest through the registry. “We have seen interest and growth,” she says, “particularly in the adult amateur dressage market, where petite riders are sometimes ‘downsizing’ to the ponies. Several of our traditionally warmblood breeders have added pony stallions to their programs, and have rave reviews of their new pint-sized programs.” Kustar also offers heartening statistics from the RPSI’s annual Select Online Foal Auction, “in the first year, the ponies outsold the warmbloods.” “In the past two years,” she explains, “the numbers have equalized, but there is certainly a dedicated market for the pony foals, and the appeal for the bright and shiny mini-me warmblood does not seem to be diminishing.”

There has also been increased participation in shows which are held exclusively for ponies, such as the National Dressage Pony Cup, which boasted a record year in 2015 with respect to entries. Jennifer Carol, founder of the NDPC and enthusiastic advocate for the pony community, tells Pony Quarterly that “2015 saw the Pony Cup transition from a destination show with a few partner shows, to a national entity that covers all United States Dressage Federation competition regions” Carol says that “over 300 Open, Adult Amateur and Junior riders participate in the Pony Cup Year End Awards, and show programs. Open and Adult Amateur riders are by far the majority of the pony competitors at every level.” According to Carol, “this is the reverse of the perception that many people have that ponies are primarily ridden by children.”

Despite these encouraging statistics, pony breeders are still facing some real challenges in North America. Top pony stallions are being offered for sale, and more and more breeders are liquidating their programs and moving on to either horse breeding or no breeding at all. Breeders that do manage to get by are being asked to negotiate on stud fee pricing, and often barely come out on top when overhead and maintenance costs are factored into the equation. The solution to this problem, according to our esteemed panel of pony authorities, is that domestic buyers and breeders need to support the stock which already exists in North America.

We asked Dr. Heather Luing, who has been breeding German Riding Ponies since 2002 and is known for her outstanding reputation within the pony community, to help us answer some of the tough questions surrounding the topic of pony breeding in North America. Dr. Luing tells Pony Quarterly “I have seen many breeders come and go over the time I have been breeding for a multitude of reasons.” “It is very difficult, if not impossible,” she explains, “for a German Riding Pony breeding operation to be financially viable, and most breeders are doing it for the great love of the breed.” When asked what the community can do to keep quality breeding in North America, Dr. Luing offers the following opinion;

PONYQUARTERLY “first, buyers have to recognize the cost that goes into a good breeding program.” “U.S. produced ponies are undervalued.” She goes on to say that “unfortunately, many buyers still respond to the perceived prestige of importing, and are not recognizing the quality we are now producing here.”

Kathy St. Martin offers a similar opinion on this topic. “We don’t support our domestic stallion owners,” she tells Pony Quarterly. “For whatever reason, we are often reluctant to breed to the stallion that is in our own backyard with the belief that what is being bred in Europe is ‘better.’” She explains that buyers possess “a desire to see stallions that have produced offspring that compete at the highest level.” “But, because we don’t support our U.S. stallions, we end up with domestic stallions that are underutilized and consequently, don’t have offspring competing at the highest level. It becomes a chicken and egg phenomenon.”

We Want to HEAR from YOU!

In the interest of full disclosure, Pony Quarterly wishes to inform our readers that, when writing and researching for this article, we put forth our best effort in order to reach both horse and pony breeders, equine professionals, pony breed registries (RPSI, Weser-Ems, and North American Sportpony Registry), and other individuals who would provide comprehensive opinions on these topics.

Aside from the panel of individuals who graciously chose to help us, and to participate in this article, our inquiries and follow-ups went unanswered.

We would also like to thank Ann Duam Kustar of RPSI, Kathy St. Martin of Avalon Equine, Jennifer Carol of the National Dressage Pony Cup, and Dr. Heather Luing of Whispered Wish Weser-Ems for their participation in this article. It takes courage and effort to voice one’s opinion, especially when the topic may be controversial. We appreciate your dedication to the pony community, for your time, knowledge, experience and your willingness to make your opinions known.

It is also important to consider the incentives for stallion ownership in North America. Many breeders stand stallions simply to better pony breeding as a whole, and choosing to breed to domestic stallions would certainly be an important way to support these breeders and their efforts. Dr. Luing and her stallion, Burberry, are a prime example of this phenomenon. “There was literally no choice in stallions when I started breeding,” she explains. “As a breeder, I recognize how important it is to have a selection to choose from as a mare owner to make the right match. Burberry had very important bloodlines to Weser-Ems and was such an athlete and super pony to ride, that I felt he needed to be available to U.S. breeders.” “I sent him to the 30-day test and have stood him for the last six or seven years as a service to the breed.” In other words, Dr. Luing recognized the value which Burberry provided to the North American breeding community and she put forth her own resources, despite never planning to own a stallion, in order to ensure that he would be available to North American breeders. Many other breeders are finding themselves in similar situations, and in order to remedy the cost-prohibitive nature of stallion ownership, the pony community needs to find ways to attract buyers to the North American market.

Ponies are certainly gaining in popularity, as mentioned previously, but “hobby breeder” stigma continues for breeding programs which are exclusively for ponies. This is in part a result of the lack of communication between pony breeders and buyers. Breeders are not always sure how to effectively advertise and communicate the value of ponies to buyers, and buyers may be having a hard time navigating the scattered and sorely segmented pony market. We, again, asked St. Martin to help us pilot this issue and she offered the following assessment; “We need to be more supportive of each other and be honest in our appraisal of our young stock.

“As a breeder, I recognize how important it is to have a selection of stallions to choose from as a mare owner to make the right match. Burberry had very important bloodlines to Weser-Ems and was such an athlete and super pony to ride, that I felt he needed to be available to U.S. breeders.”

Dr. Luing We all want to make a sale, but if the animal you have for sale isn’t a good match, say so! You will develop the reputation of being accurate and reputable.”

One way pony breeders can increase communication is by expanding their network of trainers. Many pony breeders do not personally ride and compete their ponies, and in order to properly market and gain exposure they need to be in the hands of people that can. In order to achieve better relationships with trainers, pony breeders need to enthusiastically convey the value of ponies as competition partners so that more trainers will be attracted to the idea of taking ponies into their barns and programs. St. Martin offered an interesting perspective on breeders and their duty to riders. “I think that the biggest issue we have as breeders is the lack of knowledge amongst riders of how their ride is bred. Breeders dictate what riders will be riding! That’s a huge responsibility,” she explains. Jennifer Carol, too, feels that trainers need to be encouraged “to bring their ponies

Another solution which could help to unify the pony community would be to hold the breed registries, which are currently in existence, accountable in their role to help legitimize the status of ponies in North America, especially those which notoriously provide only limited help to pony breeders who pay to belong to these associations.

all Sm ut B ty h Mig to shows, and ride them.” Additionally, says Carol, “open and adult amateurs are often best matched with a pony rather than a horse.” This creates opportunity for breeders to work with trainers, and building their sales business by matching their students with suitable ponies made available by reputable pony breeders. “Ponies do not necessarily ‘need’ to be segregated from horses competition,” says Carol. “There are ponies out there that can hold their own against any warmblood, and they make my heart sing.”

It is no secret that there is a substantial divide between breeds, disciplines, and other defining factors of breeding programs. In the interest of a prosperous future for ponies and the industry, breeders should be resources for each other, and create a network of support.

One way that members of the pony community can come together is to attend “ponies only” events. According to Jennifer Carol, the National Dressage Pony Cup is working hard to offer classes and awards in order to create a platform both on the national and international stage and cultivates an atmosphere of inclusiveness. “There is prestige associated with our awards, competitors feel comfortable at our annual show, and excited to be able to compete against other ponies at partner shows. When other dressage riders and enthusiasts see the quality of the training and the excitement for the sport, it generates a newfound respect for ponies. The stigma and prejudices that ponies have faced in competition are beginning to fade.” Carol is also hopeful that one day, the NDPC may be able to combine forces with The Pony Finals to create a comprehensive pony championship event in North

It could be limited to U.S. ponies,” she explains, “but why take a narrow view? I have every confidence that U.S. ponies could hold their own against ponies from any country, given the opportunity and financial support.” “If there are other pony enthusiasts out there that are crazy enough to put their wallets where their hearts are and support the effort,” says Carol, “anything can happen.” Ann Daum Kustar of RPSI also expressed her desire for more pony shows and classes.

“The U.S. needs more classes and divisions for ponies in all disciplines, and awards programs which make the pony pathway even more fun to travel!”

Kustar offered her opinion on standards that needs to be practiced by all breeders. “North America must come to a standard in pony breeding if we want to move forward and produce top competition ponies for all disciplines,” she says. “Breeding within height and pony-type standards is important for the future of the North American pony industry as a whole, as is attention to character in the ponies, because in the end, these must be animals which are honest, hardy, and fun to ride.” This may mean straying from our comfort zones, and venturing out into new disciplines

and regions. However, this creates opportunity for expanded business and new conversations about the value of ponies in the equestrian community as a whole.

Another solution which could help to unify the pony community would be to hold the breed registries, which are currently in existence, accountable in their role to help legitimize the status of ponies in North America, especially those which notoriously provide only limited help to pony breeders who pay to belong to these associations. As a consequence of registry shortcomings, some buyers are being pushed toward the European market where they can see ten or more high-qualities ponies during a weekend trip across the pond.

We desperately need these buyers to shop in North America, and the registries have a responsibility to help create desire for “local” ponies. Furthermore, breeders have a responsibility to communicate their needs and criticisms to representatives at the registries.

According to Kustar, RPSI is one registry that is certainly doing their part to help promote ponies. “The interest is out there, and as a registry we strongly supports our pony breeders and owners,” she says.

Promoting and Celebrating Ponies, their Owners & their Lifestyle

The lack of centralized authority in North American pony breeding is possibly the most detrimental issue surrounding the future of ponies, and the only conclusion that we can come to is that it is vitally necessitous for the pony community to work together. Dr. Heather Luing, German Riding Pony breeder, shares in this assessment. “My dream would be for pony breeders to work together,” she says. “I have been involved in various breeders groups in the past and sadly they have never been successful. It would be wonderful to see a better sense of community and working together towards a common goal. I hope to see continued efforts at combining forces for training, advertising, and sales/auctions.”

We have great ponies in North America, and we have breeders, riders, registries, and show organizers willing to work hard. Pooling our efforts and working together to promote quality ponies, can build a strong and resilient community wherein everyone succeeds and prospers. The desire exists, and the need exists. It’s time to put our words into action and to create the community of which we all dream.
