This is Sprite. He is in his 30s and my firm favourite work pony! Today I took some portraits of all our school ponies for the website update and just wanted to share this one as he looks beautiful. The usual policy is that ponies spend a few years with us and then get sold onto loving one to one homes so they're not stuck in the school their whole lives. However, Sprite has lived here pretty much all his life-being a livery for most of his time before being in the riding school. He also has medicine to take and he is happy here without the stress of moving on at his age after he has been here most of his life. It would have to be a VERY special and trusted someone to take him for permanent retirement. I'd love to find his old owners so they could see this photo. He still does the odd walk and trot lesson (though he sometimes likes to add a bit of canter in there!)
His favourite thing to do used to be jumping, but now he just enjoys being fussed and loved. We adore him!!
If anyone else has any photos of golden oldies, please post them!! I'd love to see.
