Australian Riding

Pony

The Australian Riding Pony is a breed of pony developed in Australia since the 1970s. It has been greatly influenced by the British Riding Pony, the Thoroughbred and Arabian bloodlines. These ponies are small copies of elegant show hacks, developed from English Riding Pony bloodlines. They range in height from 12.2 hands to 14.2 hands, in contrast to the Australian Pony breed, which does not exceed 14th. Australian Riding Ponies have a free-flowing, lower action than many of the older pony breeds. Australian Riding Ponies are of one of the solid colors, with small heads and ears.
