Black Dog Farm

Black Dog Farm, Connemara ponies, Plant City, Florida, in Hillsborough County and the Tampa Bay area near Tampa. They have more than 15 years of breeding experience, maintain a family-run operation, are members of the American Connemara Pony Society and follow breed-standard guidelines with regular veterinary evaluations, biannual dental checks, deworming, and neonatal health screening.

The ponies graze in small family groups with daily turnout and shelter access, supporting healthy growth, social bonds, and personalized attention. Each foal undergoes early handling sessions to encourage a calm demeanor before weaning. The farm’s rolling pastures and thoughtfully rotated paddocks reflect a long-standing commitment to regenerative land stewardship.

Visitors note the ponies’ consistent temperaments and sound conformation. Broodmares and stallions are selected for balanced conformation and willingness under saddle, aiming for gentle, versatile riding ponies. Detailed records on health outcomes and growth rates guide ongoing improvements in every generation.
