Hifive POAs is a family owned operation located in Manitoba 120 miles northwest of Winnipeg. Traditionally, our farm had produced cattle and grain. This changed when our youngest son wanted a goat. Yes, a goat! Thinking that a pony would be more enjoyable and less trouble, we started our search for the "right" pony. This was not an easy task and we came to the realization that there was a need for good youth horses. After countless hours of research and inquiries, we learned about the Ponies of the Americas, Appaloosa colored ponies that have the dispositions and movement of a horse and mature between 46 and 56 inches at the withers.

When we saw the POA stallion, Driftwoods Mega Bucks, at the home of Ray Pietz in Iowa, we were hooked. We fell in love with him.  He is such a gentleman! Mega Bucks is also a proven producer of: International, Regional, JPFC Hi Point and Eastern Classic class winners and a Supreme Champion gelding.

Our second stallion is Pistol Packin Dually, a truly lovable rare black few spot with many POA champions in his background.  He puts the most gorgeous heads on his offspring.

Hifive Pistols Prince, our junior stallion, was bred and raised at Hifive POAs.  Pistols Prince is a beautiful dun with a black mane and tail sired by Pistol Packin Dually and out of Exclusive Doll by Mr. Exclusive, a son of Bright Eyes Brother.  Exclusive Doll was bred on the renowned Sheldak Ranch of North Dakota.   

Our goal in our breeding program continues to be to raise good looking POAs with quiet dispositions and versatile performance ability. Our horses now carry the bloodlines of:
