my first pony - back home (pics!)

[chris_j]

So a couple of weeks ago I went & collected my first pony to come home & retire. Pinky is 28 now & was my 3rd birthday present. When my siblings outgrew her she has been loaned to pony club kids but we think it's time she put her feet up. She's a Welsh Mountain Pony & about 11hands high, bred by the Frongoch Stud.

This is her now at my yard:

& her in her heyday with me at Pony Club

She's not completely retired though as she's got a really important job at my yard now - babysitting Podge, my 17hh Hanoverian who is a bit of a scaredy cat & regularly hides behind her :lol:

She also has her own facebook page if you would like to add her http://www.facebook.com/pinkypony

Oh how lovely for you to have him home again, lovely for him to; to have such a lovely retirement home.

How lovely; not only has your pony brought so many other children joy, she now gets to have a lovely retirement. More owners should take note!

Do you think she would like another toyboy? I still have the little 12.2 that was about my 4th birthday present (he was a baby at the time, is now around 19). Unfortunately, he was meant to grow bigger and I pretty much outgrew him straight away! We sold him once and he was such a little monkey they gave him back!

Lovely to see that you'll be keeping your old girl.

Aw she is so sweet. Its so nice that you are able to have her back for her retirement.

Oh that brought tears to my eyes - little gem reminds me of our late Poppy, same breed, colour, type. Lucky you and lucky Pinky. Does she have a full wardrobe for the winter? (I may have something to fit if you need it).

bless you for giving her a retirement home!

we did the same with my pony Buzz - he was a welsh pony too, but a very definite orange colour! We thought he'd have 2 or 3 years retirement, but he ended up having 12 or 13! He was 48 when he died. in fact, thinking about it, he was as old when we got him as I am now and we had him nearly 20 years!

These photos really made me smile it's really lovely to see that she is obviously going to have a wonderful retirement after many years of giving fun to children. I wish more people did this for their old ponies.
