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.

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.
