HA! I'm still trying to come up with reasons to own one :~D
lol. There are none. Although the older I get the higher up the ground looks. I find myself driving down the highway going to my husband, "look at the cute pony! Don't you want a cute pony?" He's 6'.2". They kind of make cute lawn ornaments. (The ponies, not the husbands. ;->)
There is this pony that looks kind of like Okie in coloring but more draft. He has the hair growing over his feet. I pass him going to get Sarah Lee. He use to run up at me but now I point and he stays. Anyway , he was tied up in the barn today. He looked really scruffy so I brushed him down. Eddie walked in and glanced and then told me "that's not Okie" "Nah"....He just couldn't figure out why I was grooming him. He just needed it though.
