As of
gston-
of. lit week,,. Kinloss
Township now home for the fiirrst
registered and pedigreed Dales
polies to be found in Canada or the
United States. Owners of the ponies•
are Denise and Colin Maley, whet
reside on the former Lloyd, ]ounett
fano.
Denise, who was born in England,
immigrated to Onto with her
parents at a young a$e, In 1979 she
returned to England to work aa"a
bauk meager, This past yearshe
had a longing return ;to.Ontario.
where her family and friends were.
Her husband, Colin, who was
formerly au Oflicerin Charge of a
fire station in England, was in full.
agreemeft and=so plans were made
During a threemw.eek trapto the
area this past summer theystarted
travelling outward from Toronto to
find a farm, with house and barn
that was within their price range.
And 'so the, stage was set, when
they found their Kinloss property,
for 11 Dales_ ponies, to be air
shipped to Ontario.
Dales 'ponies • originated in die
Yorkshire Vales " .. of England.
Originally bred as a pack pony, -the
Dales, became known as a great all-
rounder .pony. Considered to be a
small pony (up to 14.2 hands h h
=but"very"stn ng, they were � rigs.
l�yr used for pack work in the mines:.
throughout England, where they
would carry the lead out and travel
hundreds of miles across' the
country. Denise refers to them` as
"endurance ponies."
In the early 1900s . there was
anywhere from 1000 1500 of
these ponies in England. During the
war of 1914 - 18 and World War
II, a decline in numbers. tookrplace
when the ponies Were conscripted
for use in the wars..Due: to: their
size and strength. they were: yid to
pull cannons .and other jobs.
�n the.war ended their nutm-
beis had. Jigs further
duo them being .killed left.
behind,. In 195 oily' four.pis
were: register th the Dales
Im veni sentuibiety, which was
ionated 1. 1916. ..Aordrug to
researched inforatio , the
registration of ponies. was iii dtuted
through the society Just tie to
prevent the pones .being.
cross -bred out of existence. A. slow
recover rook place over .the years
tQ this day when their numbers now
reach R9_ two in France, .:two --in_
Germany, 11 in moss Township
and die rest iett England;
Denise's love - for! this sae-
ndaunge ed species" . came about
when she purchased t Dales
pony nam Beau. Dales are owl
to be safe and reliable mounts for
almost any sizerider; a pony who
has a'protective instinct towards his
rider and a very easy going
temperament.
When it .came time to move '
e • N
Ontario, Denise said Colint,.who she
calls the "perfect .partner'" agreed,
they::. would take° Bean and two
mares home, to ensure she always
had her own Dale pony. From ther
the idea mushroomed to the point
where • they shipped 11 ponies,
v-which—will-°form -the basis` e
Canadale Stud.. They have one
mare, seven fillies, a yearling colt;
and a two and half year old stallion.
The stallion, Freddy, providing he
. meets all the, requirements of the
Dale Pony Association, will be
licensed in the spring and used for
breeding.
In, „addition to their ponies, theDunkleys brought a host of other
animals home with them: a
miniature Irish donkey, Ili •tut
horse filly, miniature gel
Wolf Bound, two Maltese
