Little Boy was the pony that got us started in POAs. We bought him in 1998 as a gaming pony to show at the barrel racing shows. He had all the charcteristics to be a POA and we already had Rocket (a registered POA that we didn't show), so we decided to hardship Little Boy into the POA Club. He is only 52" (13h) tall and from an unknown background, but he has proven to be one of the top POA game ponies in the country.

Little Boy is used mostly for Games but has also competed in Reining, Western Riding, and Jumping. In 1999, at the Tennessee State Saddle Club Show, Little Boy won Figure 8 Flags out of the state's top 100 ponies of all breeds. It is one of the toughest competitions and basically equals an International POA show in competitiveness. It was Little Boy's best moment ever.

In 2002, Little Boy started showing POA. He had never done anything in his life except Barrels, Poles, and Flags. Most of the POA games were new to him but he caught on very quickly. He had also never done Halter, Reining, Western Riding, or Jumping. He flew through the riding events like he was running games but eventually he caught on to those as well. By the end of the year, he was doing great and won the Florida POAC High Point Gaming Pony 13-18 at the Turkey Circuit. He was the #4 pony in the Tennessee POAC in 2002.

In 2003, he continued to do western riding, reining, and jumping and he greatly improved. Although he is still a little fast, he has learned how to control all that energy! At the 2003 South East Regional, he was High Point Gaming Pony 13-18. At the International Show, Little Boy placed in many Game classes and was Reserve International Champion in Figure 8 Barrels 13-18. He was also the #3 Pony and High Point in Jumping and Games 13-18 in the TNPOAC. He is ranked #4 in the Nation in Medium Halter Geldings. He finished his ROM in Timed Events, Non Timed Events, and he achieved his POA ROM. At the 2004 POA International Show he was a four time Reserve International Champion in games. Little Boy was once again the High Point Timed Events pony for the TNPOAC as well as being the #8 Perofrmance Pony Overall in Tennessee. We are looking forward to a GREAT 2005, and we are planning to hit all the major shows this year including the International. Little Boy lacks only a few grands to become a Supreme Champion. Not bad for a 52" hardshipped "wild" game pony! He is for sale to the right home.
