You guys are making me so nostalgic for my hunter humper pony Chipper! He was a half Arabian pony that was the most fun a girl could wish for growing up. We were really successful on our local and state circuit. Every once in a while, I have a dream about him. My sister had her foot amputated a couple of years ago and has since gotten into dressage. She loves it and her Fresian (Waldo) and Thoroughbred (Willie). Her horses are the best therapy in the world. When you grow up with horses, I don't think it ever gets out of your blood.
Chipper no doubt is grazing on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge, waiting on you! :-D
