Synergy TAP (BigNRich FMF X Peddler's Carnation), bred and owned by Trace Anderson of Triangle Acres  in Askov, MN, became the first American Show Pony officially entered into American Show Pony Registry’s Hall of Fame in the Halter division.

The Hall of Fame is one of the American Shetland Pony Club’s top honors for the equine it governs.  Established in 1967, the Hall of Fame recognizes ponies receiving high levels of show ring achievement in their lifetime.  HoF recognition is earned based on success in the show ring. Winning against other ponies is essential.

The ASPC established the American Show Pony Registry in 1995, giving an important outlet for larger Shetlands, smaller Hackneys and crosses between those two breeds.  Since the ASPR was first established, the show options and competitions for these dynamic, animated and brilliant ponies has grown. The first ASPR Performance Hall of Fame was awarded in 2000 but no pony had been recorded for Halter HoF honors until 2011.
