Harley: "What IS that thing?"
Rocky: "I dunno, but I'm game if she is!"
The pony sounds great. Is that the little girl who wanted to ride by herself? She seems a little shy or timid when faced with it! You know... When ecurbh's family was here, we did rides on Bay for all the kids, which we planned, and then his adult family members, his parents and siblings wanted to ride too, we still led them, just to be on the safe side, and you know, they didn't really mind. Only one adult, that had ridden before, got to ride alone.
It'd be fun if I could do that with my pony... reliably.
The pony is dangerously fat. She's at high risk for founder, and that'd be a shame. Is that just grass or are they feeding her?
Rocky: "I dunno, but I'm game if she is!"
LOL!!! I'll bet that's EXACTLY what they were thinking! Most stud horses would hump a stump if they thought it smelled right. ;o)
LOL...that is exactly what they were thinking:)
Harley was the funny one. You'd think they would understand that it is just a small horse.
Your right, I don't think Lilly wanted any part of going by herself. She was happy just being led.
Her mother and father are the ones I told you about way last year that got the 2 mules. I think they both have been bucked off now. They are thinking of sending them off to trainers.
This pony is way too fat. And they aren't feeding her nothing but pasture. I think she should be dry lotted and fed nothing but hay for a while, and very little of that. She just seems soooooo sweet it would be really sad if she foundered. I asked Kristy today who originally broke her but she didn't know. But she did say that alot of kids at the ranch, who have been raised around horses their whole lives rode her alot a few years ago. Their parents were around so they wouldn't have been allowed to just run her and jerk her around. These are kids who were taught how to ride properly and care for a horse. I've always thought that ponies got a bad rap for being labled stubborn and mean. So many of them have just been handled by kids any which away, and I don't blame the ponies for getting ornery.
