What is the POAC?  

            The Pony of Americas Club (POAC) was founded in Iowa and began in 1954. The POAC is a non-profit organization formed to develop and improve a type of pony used by youths and adults. The pony is a Quarter horse/Appaloosa in  miniature with a height of 46"-56", which must also have the Appaloosa's distinct coloring and characteristics. The POA is considered to be a strong, athletic pony with the speed required for games and jumping and the intelligence and patience for showmanship and equitation, making it a highly competitive pony.

            There is a Pony of Americas National Organization as well as various state chapters. The National Organization is located in Indianapolis, Indiana. You can check out their website by clicking on the link button, National POAC, above. The Arizona POA Club is dedicated to promoting sportsmanship, horsemanship, and education, and to fostering lifelong friendships.  Through the dedication of both our wonderful children and parents, this group continues to grow and prosper. If you are interested in further information on the Arizona POA club, please do not hesitate to email one of the board members.
