Pony power!! We will be celebrating ponies of all breeds on YourDressage through the month of June!
We recently asked our social media followers to share a photo of their favorite pony and let us know what makes these compact mounts special to them for a chance to be featured on YourDressage! We will also be sharing stories from folks who love these pint-sixed equids all month long.
Dressage riders who choose ponies as their mounts are eligible for many Adequan®/USDF All-Breeds Awards as there are several pony organizations on our Participating Organization list!
