Cedar Lane Sporthorses

Cedar Lane Sporthorses offers Connemara ponies in Berger, MO, Franklin County and the Ozarks near St. Louis. Under the guidance of Nancy Roth, DVM, the farm follows Connemara pony association guidelines for health testing, registration, and soundness evaluations. Foals and young stock are raised on rotational pastures, with daily handling to encourage confidence and social skills before starting under-saddle work.

The team emphasizes a low-stress environment, combining turnout shelters with regular human interaction to support steady growth and a willing temperament. With a background in equine sport disciplines, the farm introduces each pony to basic groundwork and familiarizes them with arena settings to prepare them for riding or driving partnerships. Each spring the family-run operation welcomes Connemara foals and maintains open communication with owners about care and training.

A recent owner noted the approachable nature and durable build of their youngster, reflecting the farm’s focus on sound conformation. Brood mares receive balanced nutrition and ample turnout to support reproductive health and quality foal development.
