Harry Chestnut, Pony of the Americas in Michigan, cares for well-socialized ponies across southeast Michigan near Detroit. They have been breeding for more than a decade and maintain memberships with Pony of the Americas registry along with recommended health testing for sound breeding stock.

Each pony lives on pasture and receives daily handling from foalhood to ensure a calm temperament and strong bond with handlers. Their focus on versatile performance includes ponies suited for both trail riding and youth show rings. Visitors often remark on the farm’s welcoming atmosphere and the clear attention given to nutrition and routine veterinary care.

The Chestnuts’ approach emphasizes patient training, gentle handling, and a commitment to producing well-rounded family partners. Several of their ponies have earned ribbons at local 4-H events, reflecting steady progress in youth competitions. They collaborate with veterinarians for routine checkups and tailor feeding plans to each pony’s individual needs.
