Does anyone know what the standard size is for a POA. I was reading a sale ad in our local paper and the ad said a POA for sale 14.2 hh. I always thought that to be a POA it would have to be under 14hh??? just wondering if anyone knows??:roll:
could you tell me what POA means i haven't heard this term used in that context before were i live POA stands for price on application ha ha so as you could imagine im a little confused.
thanks
if i understand correctly... to show it at a POA show it must be 14h or smaller. but sometimes bigger ones pop up in the breed. so you can still have a 14.2 poa, but you couldn't show it (or you would have to do something to be allowed to? or something?). From what I've been told, technically a POA and an Appy are 2 separate breeds, so a POA is not just a 'small appy'. but some people just take a pony sized appy and call it a POA. So my guess is it's got something bigger mixed in, a small Appy, or just a large POA.
this is what i can remember from a lengthy convo with a very enthusiastic poa lover before i took on her pony for training...
I didn't realize that the POA has developed to a particular breed. I was under the impression that it was just an Appy pony but in following this thread I found an good article about the beginning of the breed: Pony of the Americas Club, Inc. Official Website
That's true, ponies are under 14.2h, but in this breed they cap the height at 14h. If I'm not mistaken, an exception is the Arabian which is still a horse at 14h.
I have a POA I love him to death and right now he is almost 14.1 i believe I thought he wouldnt make it pasy 13 hand but he been growing like a weed lately im happy
