Belgian Riding Pony
The Belgian Riding Pony is a Belgian registry that was formed over twenty years ago using an interbreed of the New Forest Pony lines, Welsh and Connemara riding ponies from holland and Germany as well as Thoroughbred mix. The Belgian breeders look for the best performing mares and stallions abroad to set up their own "shut" breeding program.
There are two kinds of labels, Sport and Breeding labels. This pony can be one of two sizes; the "small" pony is meant as a "toy" pony with a fantastic character and able to compete with a very young rider. The "large" pony measures 1.47m (14.2hh) and is what are considered Sport ponies. The BRp is gifted with exemplary character and found in branches of youth riding sport
The BWP/NAD now inspects pony candidates that meet the above criteria to be placed in the BRp registry. Belgian and North American approved BRp stallions as well as approved German Riding Pony stallions in North America are approved for breeding to BRp approved mares.
