The American Draft Pony Association and Registry was first established in the early eighties by a couple of breeders to try to keep records of the crosses used to produce the ideal Draft Pony. It is our wish to continue in this spirit, and to eventually establish the Draft Pony as a breed on its own.

A Draft Pony is a miniature of one of the established Draft Horse breeds (Belgian, Percheron, Clydesdale, Shire, Suffolk, American Cream, Spotted Draft) and MUST show the conformation character of a draft horse. It is the goal of this association to promote a Draft Pony that resembles one of these breeds, COLOR NOT TO BE DISCRIMINATED AGAINST. The main difference between a Draft Pony and draft horse is size. A Draft Pony should be an exact replica, on a smaller scale, and should NOT exceed 58" in height, when measured behind the front leg, from the ground to the top of the withers.
