The Palouse Pony Association was formed in 1974, of which we are affiliated. Ponies where Imported from the USA, P.O.A's, Ponies of the America's, with a recent Import a few years ago to Dubbo.
The name was taken from the Nez Perce Indians in the Palouse River region, and it was decided that the name Palouse be adapted, that the pony should show style, substance, beauty and symmetry, showing a disposition to be handled, trained and entered into competition by both adults, senior and junior youths.
In recent years the Miniature Size Palouse pony has come to popularity, with the rise in Miniature Associations that he can be registered with, clearly showing that he is a very versatile pony.
