| Hi, My name is Sibby and I own Golden Reins Stud. I breed miniauture, small horse caspian cross. I have been breeding this cross since 2002 and the results are amazing.. Since I was the first person in the world to do this several other studs are now starting to follow suit with Caspian Horses. | |

| Hi Yarreh lane, Glad you like my horses. I have been concertrating on conformation over the years. I know I don't have much colour, but I feel the type of horse had to come first. | |

| Hi Mini-Mad, I love taking pictures of horses. Caspianna was on the bank of a dam at the time I took that photo. She is such a sweet natured little girl. | |

| Hi Sibby, Great website, I think the information you provide is excellent. I learned quite a lot, and your horses are superb. The only horse I've seen similar in shape to your Caspians was an English Riding Pony, (who looked just like a small fine featured horse with legs sooooo looooog.} Cheers Helen | |

| No idea Sibby...but I'm off to look that up too. Cheers Helen This is info. I found Sibby, at [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] though I can't find any pics. that reflect the pony I saw at Dorrigo Show. The owner was adamant that it was an English Riding pony and was fully grown and so finely built. I've really not much idea of how tall...maybe 11hh. - Quote :
English Riding Pony Origin Great-Britain
History The Riding Pony was developed by a handful of dedicated, forward-thinking British breeders from a blend of Arabian, Thoroughbred, and British pony blood. It began to attract attention in the 1940s when another use was sought for the smaller Thoroughbred polo pony sires. From the outset, the base stock was chiefly Welsh, and to a lesser degree, Dartmoor. The Arabian has also played a most significant part and is responsible for one of the two premier dynasties through the grey stallion, Naseel which originated in Co. Meath, northwest of Dublin in Ireland. Today, studs producing Riding Ponies are to be found throughout the UK and Ireland. There are large entries in show ring breeding classes at major shows and smaller events for young stock, broodmares, and stallions. They are a reflection of what has become a small industry with an increasingly popular product.
Description · Head: it is the ultimate in refinement, but it is that of a pony, not of a horse · Conformation: -perfectly proportioned quarters, well-muscled, but not too heavy or too rounded -tail set high-well formed hooves, open, hard and of equal size.There is an adequate slope to the pasterns and no feather at the heels · Average height: 12.2 h.h-14.2 h.h. · Colour: most of the ponies are bay or chestnust but grey is also found · Temperament: intelligent, courageous, not always easily managed · Today: the Riding Pony competes in the show ring in three height divisions.12.2 hh, 13.2 hh, and up to 14.2 hh. It provided a base for both the Working Hunter Pony, which performs in the ring over a jumping course, and the more substantial Hunter Show Pony, which, at its best, is a miniature middleweight hunter.
