Welcome Angela!

While you are no longer breeding ponies you sound like an enthusiast and would have good input into any pony promotion program. Personally until this year I did not breed ponies - my mom has and is but I was not, so have no vested interest other than seeing a need. I now have a Half-Welsh weanling that hopefully will stay pony sized.

I love the photos of Midas, he looks like he's a great individual.

You are so right that there is a need for good quality ponies for every discipline and I include pleasure/backyard ponies as a discipline. We've dabbled in ponies off and on over the years and about 6 years ago got back in semi-seriously which is where I was hearing the need for an Open competition circuit as well as promotion to foster sales and breedings - hence the brainwave of starting PBO.

I also see by your photos that you are into the Clydes. I manage a farm that has Clydes and Percherons as well as a breeding/track-layup operation for Standardbreds. Must say I prefer Clydes as my favourite of the draft breeds and always have.

Midas sounds like he has some great promise in the Dressage world. Look forward to hearing about results when he does get out to compete.

I hear you on some Clydes being a tad bit sensitive, where I work has one that is nervous around men and his face but a real doll at 19hh and still growing.

Posted 3 photos of Rocky. Have to see if I can get a good one of Spike who is 19hh and Evie, the 18.2hh Percheron mare. Also should get a couple of shots of Doug and Duke, the Belgians that are boarding where I work at the moment.
