Show Types

The hackney pony is a very common and distinctive contender in horse shows, seen primarily with saddlebreds and standardbred road horses. In the show ring, the hackney pony is most commonly seen being driven in harness. They are also shown under saddle, usually as road ponies, and in hand as weanlings or yearlings. Their world's championship is the Kentucky Kentucky State Fair Horse Show in Louisville, Kentucky, and their national championship is the American Royal in Kansas City, Missouri. There are four primary divisions in which they are shown.

Famous quotes containing the words show and/or types:

    When the spirit brings light into our minds, it dispels darkness. We see it, as we do that of the sun at noon, and need not the twilight of reason to show it us. This light from heaven is strong, clear, and pure carries its own demonstration with it; and we may as naturally take a glow-worm to assist us to discover the sun, as to examine the celestial ray by our dim candle, reason.
    John Locke (1632–1704)

    He types his laboured column—weary drudge!
    Senile fudge and solemn:
    Spare, editor, to condemn
    These dry leaves of his autumn.
    Robertson Davies (b. 1913)
