The American Show Pony Registry (ASPR) Committee added $6000 in incentive prize money for the ASPR classes at the World Championship Show and Shetland Pony Congress for 2008. The American Show Pony Registry is a division of the American Shetland Pony Club.
The American Shetland Pony Club (ASPC) was established in 1888 and today offers registration recordings and award programs for a number of small equines including American Shetland Ponies, American Miniature Horses and several Shetland Pony types and crosses. In 1995, the ASPC created the American Show Pony Registry (ASPR), which recognized ponies of Shetland and Hackney decent up to 48” in height at the wither. These larger, flashy ponies are especially suited to driving and draw a lot of attention in the show ring.

American Mininature Horse Assoc.
The Association
The American Miniature Horse Association is the world's leading Miniature Horse registry with nearly 160,000 horses and more than 12,000 members in 37 countries and provinces.
Founded in 1978, AMHA promotes the breeding, use and perpetuation of a standard of equine excellence in miniature, separate and apart from ponies and other small equids. Horses registered with AMHA must meet the Association standard of perfection and cannot exceed 34 inches in height at the withers as measured from the last hairs of the mane.
Big Dreams
Organized by a group of dedicated horsemen, the American Miniature Horse Association was formed in 1978 in Arlington, Texas. The goal was simple, to encourage the breeding, exhibiting, use and perpetuation of the American Miniature Horse, separate and apart from ponies and other small equines. Until that time, breeders of American Miniature Horses had limited options available for the registration, exhibition and promotion of their horses.
