This breed was founded in the Americas in 1956.
The term pony is defined by the animal's height so a pony can come from anywhere. Pony breeds have been developed in many different countries. Examples are the Shetland Pony which is named after Shetland Island in Scotland, the Connemara is from Ireland, the POA (Pony of the Americas) was developed in the USA.
The POA pony is a breed. Asking what to breed to get one, is like asking how to get a quarterhorse foal. You would have to breed two Pony Of the Americas in order to get another pure one. Though, if you are looking into spots, not all POA's have the "appaloosa" markings. (spots)
Shetlands are a breed of pony.
A native horse breed is any breed of horse or pony native to a specific country - for example, in Scotland, the Highland Pony; England, the Exmoor Pony; Ireland, the Connemara Pony; Wales, the Welsh Mountain Pony; France, the Camargue; North America, the Mustang; Spain, the Barb...etc, etc. A Thoroughbred, though developed primarily in England, is not a native breed, as it has not evolved naturally in the country - neither is the American Shetland "native" to America, as both have been developed through selective breeding, and not primarily naturally evolving like the native ponies or horses, like the Mustang.
A pony. Even if the breed's a horse breed not a pony breed.
Shetland Ponies are awesome for the first time buyers, and they are good with kids, but if you were looking for something a bit larger, a Pony of the Americas, or a Welsh Ponymight be what you're looking for.
Yes they are the same breed, but the term 'Irish Pony' can also be applied to any pony from Ireland so it is best to refer to each pony by it's correct breed name.
you go to pony island then imagine that your breeding a pony
