ThaiPony.com: This web site contains all information about horse breeding while emphasizing on the breeding ponies in Thailand. My intention to create this web site is because of the lacking of knowledge in horsemanship, horse training and breeding programs in terms of a local Thai or a grass root. I also have tried my best using direct experiences or Know – How to describe in several aspects as many as I could. In Thailand, we have studbook to record the pedigree raced horse from all parts of the world, on the other hand, we never have recorded the history of the dominant horses or ponies that assists our ancestors fighting with enemies in the battle fields. At that time, Thais survived but the ponies lose.
Since the last sixty years, the local in Hua-Hin village, Prajuabkirikhan Province and some in Chumphon Province (both located on the upper part on the Southern of Thailand ) , have carried on breeding ponies and horses then lately they have found their own breed that might be a hybrid type which its characteristics is approaching to pinto horses. At this stage, this breed is being temporarily named the “ThaiPony” type, or it can be defined as the pinto horse in the studbook of Thailand. |
| In order to get the foals with good quality, I mixed up the blood lines from three major breeds, the Thoroughbred, the Quarter horse and the local pony. In doing so, the foals of the first generation are produced by using the Thoroughbred stallion with the local mare in order to increase the height and enlarge the body. The fully growth mares of the first generation then are to be crossed with the Quarter horse stallion to reinforce strength of the muscles and to keep a well trained and a good tempered characteristics. The foals produced at this stage are the 2 nd generation. |
The mares of the 2nd generation are now 3 years of age and are temporarily called the “ThaiPony” type. These mares are going to crossed with the pinto stud horse (named OangArt @ 4 years old in 2009: he is the son of One Chalerm who acquired the triple times gold medal of perfect conformation, Kasetsart Kampangsan University) in the next generation and this will help me to fulfill the ThaiPony blood line.
The conformation or characteristics of the thaipony type is : height approx 15.2 hh for stallion and 14 - 14.2 hh for mare , short strong neck with strong limbs and wide chest , muscular hip and body, very tough hooves, the pinto type and Paint horse are welcomed and preferred. |
