Chambersburg Teen
CHAMBERSBURG (Franklin
Co.) Rodney Carling, 17, a
senior at Chambersburg Senior
High School and his 7-year-old
palomino Pony of Americas,
Bonanza’s Gold, were recently
awarded a Silver Royal trophy
saddle for winning the hi-point
pony-rider award at the 32nd
Annual Pony of Americas Interna
tional Breed Show in Des Moines,
lowa.
Registered Pony of Americas
ponies are Appaloosa-type ponies
that measure up to 14 hands tall.
The breed offers classes for youth
up to 18 years.
At the International POA Show,
Rodney and his pony competed in
30 different classes to demonstrate
the versatility of the pony and rid
er. Bonanza’s Gold is one of those
rare ponies, that has the tempera
ment and athletic ability to excel
in all types of classes. Most
equines specialize in one area,
such as western, English, or
games. With more than 3,500
entries competing during the
week-long competition, winning a
trophy saddle at the largest POA
show was quite an honor. Unlike
other breed competitions, the
Pony of Americas requires one
youth rider to compete on the
pony in all classes in order to win
this national award.

The most demanding but excit
ing classes of the show were the
jumping, reining, trail, and 12
game classes. The driving class
was the most dangerous class of
the show because a storm broke
during the class. One of the other
competitor’s pony became fright
ened by the rain and trash which
blew in the covered arena, striking
the ponies. The pony ran out of
control until spectators jumped
into the arena and caught the
pony.
Rodney’s least enjoyable class
was the Showmanship class.
While attired in a heavy western
suit, it was hard to maneuver a
pony to stand perfectly and hold
that position for 45 minutes during
the judging in 95 degree humid
heat. But winning that Internation
al Showmanship trophy made suf
fering the heat and tension worth
the discomfort.
Indian Costume classes were
favorites of the spectators. “My
family made the hand-crafted
items on my costume,” Rodney
said. “My mom helped me to
research and create a Woodland
Indian costume. We also created a
concise but detailed story about
my costume, which I give orally
each time I compete. At large
shows, we paint my pony with
