LP Painted Ponys incorporates a family oriented pony breeding program utilizing the Shetland Pony stallions WF Action Jackson (known as “AJ” to us) and All That Style n' Flash ("Iggy") along with a selected group of Arabian, ½ Arabian mares and Shetland pony mares – Chaunters Ayre, MHF Chealsierra, Atlanta Rhythem, LS Pretty Me, Jazzy Perfection, HNH Star Games, JacksWarriorPrincess, LP Painted PufNstuf and Magic Place Resida. “Painted” comes in due to “AJ” being homozygous for the tobiano pinto spotting gene – making all of our resulting pony foals “Painted”.

LP Painted Ponys is producing ½ Arabian pinto sport ponies and pinto Shetland ponies that can indeed be considered “People Ponies for Pony People”. The youngsters are imprinted at birth. Our ponies are handled daily and checked over. Our family has done most of the handling and training both on the ground and under saddle. They are handled by other families and children when they come to see our ponies, when we take them to bar-B-que &/or Birthday parties and to the girls’ schools. Quite a few of our ponies have now done the Halloween Fairs at 3 different schools. Ponies are hauled to various locations/barns to get used to traveling, drinking/eating away from home and standing tied while things are going on around them.

Our equine veterinarian, Dr. Kim Krivit, DVM, of North Star Equine out of Parkton, NC has taken care of these “painted ponys” (and the solid colored ones too) continuously since April 1997. Our current farrier to care for their feet is Darrel Taylor out of Parkton, NC.

We now have an information page for the Cape Fear Trail Riders .
