Here, we focus on six pony breeds (the Hackney, New Forest, Dartmoor, Fell, Icelandic, & German Riding Pony) to learn what makes ponies so powerful!

I initially didn’t have a particular breed in mind.  I just wanted something young to bring along myself, with gaits for dressage, and large enough to fit my 5’3 frame.  I posted some inquiries on Facebook and received a message from Lesley Feakins at Trevelyan Farm, a New Forest Pony breeder, who had a 4-year-old for sale.  Wishbone was a 14 hand bay gelding, who was cute as a button and had a great hind leg.  I decided to take a leap of faith and bought him sight unseen.
