What Are AIWP wrote:Ancient Irish War Ponies are a very rare breed of horse found in Ireland. Their origin is really unknown but earliest signs show them being used during the 13th century. Even though the breed name suggests these horses were used in battle researches believe that Ancient Irish War Ponies were thought to be used for farming and traveling instead of war. Ancient Irish War Ponies are very similar in build to a Connemara Pony and many believe that they may have even descended from this horse breed. They are hardy build with a strong back and legs. They are horses built for stamina not speed. Visually what really sets them apart from the Connemara Pony is the long feathering that they have on their fetlock. They stand from about 12 hh- 14hh and come in any shade of color natural to horses.
About AIWP Breedings wrote:
For an Ancient Irish War Pony to be considered a full bred AIWP they must be bred in Ireland. This was an established rule for the breed made in the 1950s after AIWP breeders started to taint the breeding lines. Almost all pure AIWPs were extinct causing a panic to hit all AIWP lovers and in order to keep the breed alive breeding farms were set up in the breed's origin country. Their are multiple breeding farms scattered all around Ireland set up by the AIWP Association. Breeding's are limited in the AIWP breed in order to help keep a watch on the breed's growth rate. Although breeding takes place only in Ireland the ponies can be found all around the world and foals may be born in other countries. Help keep our AWIPs pure bred! Breed only in Ireland!
