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 his dads farm, they agreed to bring his flock of Painted Desert Sheep to Arkansas.  Eventually buying the adjoining property to his dads, Jordan raised his sheep for a few more years until his four kids got old enough to begin to ride horses at their cousins in Texas.  BDavid saw his opportunity to strike an item off his bucket list, to finally have a pony farm  and after discussing it together, they sold their sheep flock and purchased their first ponies.  Because BDavid, an artist, has always loved the painted ponies, they purchased the first of their ponies, a black and white Tobiano mare with two blue eyes.  She was registered with the Pinto Horse association and well as the two they soon after found after.

   After some planning and research they determined that breeding them to a Welsh stallion would be the right suit for them because of the Welsh's size and temperament. A breeder was found not that far away from us that had the Gayfield's fantastic Welsh bloodline and after they started talking to the owner, made arrangements and began breeding to their standing studs.  Through this contact, they had an opportunity to purchase a beautiful chestnut weanling Welsh stud colt who they have destined to become their farm foundation stud.  He is currently a yearling.

     This year, 2024, they had their first half Welsh foals born; a chestnut Medicine Hat, or Torvaro colt and a chestnut Sabino filly.  Since their stud cold is still only a yearling this year, they rebred our mares back again.  Their goal is to breed the best quality half Welsh and Pinto ponies possible.
