A POSM HA Inquiry at Nature's Pace
 
Links

Thank you for your inquiry into the POSM Horse TM  here at Nature's Pace. We are indebted to the good folks at Nature's Pace for providing a website for those trying to achieve the goals of stewardship of the earth.  The original old type Morgan horse definitely fits that picture.  He is small enough and gentle enough to be easily handled by men, women and children.  He is intelligent, willing to learn and to please far beyond the common breeds.  He is powerful enough; of sufficient frame to be durable and is full of stamina.  He has the assets of a small horse with great heart that manifests him with the power and substance of much larger horses.

 The POSM Horse is an ancient and rare animal.  Associates of A POSM HA (American POSM Horse Association) are a dedicated few individuals who seek to preserve by breeding this God gifted animal for primary work on: small family farms, family ranches, homesteads, in the woods and on the roads.  Primary work is those responsible endeavors that derive a living from the soil and its directly related activities (animal horse power for: plowing, cultipacking, manuring, planting, tilling, etc., harvesting; haying; skidding for fire wood, lumber; motive transport of: goods, livestock and people by wagon, cart, buggy; horseback, in ranching by driving, roping, separating cattle, etc.;  providing replacements to continue the primary work and promote same; manure to fertilize the soil, and all other endeavors directly associated with earning a living from the soil).  Though we do not all make our living from such lofty goals, we are agreed that is our type and purpose of the POSM Horse TM.

We use the POSM Horse Registry as a tool to perpetuate the very best POSMs we can breed.  As strange as it sounds in today's time of plenty and leisure, this association is about giving something back.  It is about Small is enough.  The POSM is enough.  After getting POSMs into shape, three POSMs can do the work of 2 one-ton horses and eat less.  They are perfect for the small land holder who just wants a chance to feed, house and transport his family, goods and products as God's new nature's pace directs some to the hard, honest sweat of work on one's own place.  They provide replacements (Cross breeding is not done nor supported by our association.  They do not preserve pure POSM type and they nor geldings have any place in a preservation effort.), manure(for fertilization of our fields). Many POSMs live into their 20-30+ years of age with good care.

We seek to involve children too.  They are the future of the POSM Horse.  If they get to know them, they will love them too.

Unlike other breeds, the POSM Horse TM will not be sold as a POSM Horse TM by an associate of A POSM HA just because a buyer can afford one.  Some of our associates were already involved with the American Morgan Horse Association. Lippitt Club, etc. before learning about the Preservation efforts of the Old Style Morgan Horse. Their animals that meet POSM Horse Registry certification for POSM type can be registered as POSMs; thus adding to their animal's list of accomplishments from other activities - other than primary work (i.e.,  beauty [shows], competitive ability [(endurance or sport], pleasure [quiet family use]).  These POSMs add a very vital component in our preservation of the POSM Horse because of their type.

We seek to have everyone of our associates who get POSMs to agree to breed 2 POSMs for every POSM they have.  If there is no breeding, we lose POSMs.  One breeding and we have a stalemate.  Two breedings and we increase POSM numbers and thus fullfill our purpose to preserve POSMs.  A POSM HA is not about leisure, show or competition.  These endeavors are amply covered by other registries and associations.  Our associates sell to like minded folks who will give POSMs good homes.  A good home?  Where you care more for the comfort, good health, safety, and well being of your equine partner than you do about fun or prestige.  Your equine partner in return gives you honest work.  It is a good service to do something just because it is right.  POSMs are proven to do primary work for generations (200+ years).  The original old type Morgan horse became cherished and beloved when horses were a necessity for survival.  They were not replaced because they were not the best horses, but because they were not cars.  By selecting the best of the past, working responsibly and humanely in primary work today, we can promote, preserve and perpetuate the best POSMs ever for those who by God's grace will follow us.
