Oops...

Oops we have a pony!
Okay so it wasn't an oops. We were planning on getting one for months. An old co worker of my husband needed to find new homes for his horses because he sold his farm. This little darling needed  a home and we wanted another equine as a buddy to keep whoever was left at home when we went riding company. Only makes sense to get a little equine as they cost less to feed. 
Her name is Dolly. But I call her Princess Rainbow Sparkles because its obviously the poniest name I can think of. She's used to geldings...but we have to make sure my geldings are used to her. We are going to take it slow on the introduction. Right now she is in a paddock up by the house. She's got enough grass to last her until Christmas. Hopefully everything works out for the best. But I do have a home lined up for her if it doesn't work. He needs a good grooming and a bit of groceries. But she is very, very sweet. She isn't pony-ish and is nice to be around. 


She looks like a little Hereford beef. Ow with a big floppy mane. :-)
 

So it took me 31 years but I finally got my pony!

    1. She is going to be fun! Most ponies I've met have been kind of jerks, but she is super sweet and doesn't appear to have any mean-ness in her....Yet. LOL
