American Sport Pony Registry inspection at Devonwood Equestrian Centre in Sherwood, OR.
Huge thanks to my friend, Karen, who took most of the photos and drove us there and my husband and son who videotaped for me. More photos can be seen on Mary Cornelius' site here:

Paisano made First Premium and is approved for breeding in the American Sport Pony Registry. His highest score was for his loose jumping, "he does everything with ease. He is neat in front and behind, his approach is great." Their ending remarks, "He is well balanced and very light footed. When he trots and canters, you cannot hear him. But that is what we want. We want to see the movement. When the horse is in motion, the less you hear of the footfall, the better it is." They said that he was a great all-around pony.
