About

     The Duncan Pony Farm began as an idea back in the early 1960's when our patriarch, B. David Duncan was a boy.  Though he lived in the city, he loved traveling to his cousins in southern Illinois, where they would spend  weekends riding the cousins' ponies.  It was then that BDavid put a pony farm on his bucket list.  

     Though he had owned several ponies and horses throughout his years, he never fully realized his dream and before he knew it, it was time to retire.  Upon retiring as an art teacher, he and his wife purchased a small farm in the Ozark Mountains. 

     Jordan, his son, had been living in Texas and wanted to move back to the Ozarks so with the purchase of the farm he and his dad agreed to bring his flock of Painted Desert Sheep to Arkansas.  Eventually buying the adjoining property to his dads, he raised his sheep for a few more years until his four kids got old enough to begin to ride at their cousins in Texas.  BDavid saw his opportunity to strike an item off his bucket list, to have a pony farm. and after discussing it together, they sold their sheep flock and purchased their first ponies.

     As with the sheep, they decided to buy the best ponies they could find and afford and from there begin working on genetics and quality.  BDavid had always had a soft spot for pintos and that's what they first bought.  During this time Jordan was researching what type of ponies would best be raised to suit all his families' future needs and in his search realized that Welsh Mountain Ponies were the best fit. They changed their goal is to gradually make Duncan Pony Farm not only a Pinto pony farm but a Welsh pony farm.
