Ponyworld.net is the vision of Karen A. Fildes of Caer Avallach Farm in Southbury, CT. Karen has been involved with ponies for the last 16 years and began a private breeding farm with her husband David in 1990. Their home bred stallion, Avallach's Irish Whiskey, is a TB/WEL cross from some of the best pony hunter breeding lines in the USA. David, a Media Specialist at Rochambeau Middle School, and Karen, a freelance web designer, produce only a few foals per year, ensuring that they can handle each and every one on a daily basis.

Karen began the newsgroup Ponies-L in April 1999 and brought together a group of highly knowledgable pony people who continue to talk on a daily basis about everything pony related! Ponyworld.net was a way to bring the world of ponies to one Internet location, including breeders, owners, sellers, buyers, and just plain enthusiasts.
