Congratulations!

It makes me smile that two sisters, living far away, are both having their first ponies!

Red-1 ...Mags is the first to get her wee Apple ( going up to see her at the weekend) I have not got mine yet as I would not have the support that she has at the yard she is at. .I just have to get the logistics in place before hand which is a bit difficult as I live in the city, and only know the folks at the riding school I attend. .Mags is so much braver than me..What was originally only a dream has come true...Mags will be a fantastic horse owner...

Oh, I'm sorry, I thought you had shared/loaned one at the riding school already. I must have got mixed up.

Am totally thrilled for you! She has beautiful markings, I'm looking forward to seeing summer pics when she's buffed to a shine and those feathers are fluffed to a fluffedness:)

She is lovely........has blue (2) eyes......a nice blue though, her forelock is so long. Her feathers had been trimmed for over winter. I am awaiting mud fever boots for her (her auntie bought them ). I only got her on Sunday so at the moment she is stabled but letting her out in the arena. I have to give her time to settle in and get to know me.

Congratulations! She looks very sweet. Shirl, I'm sure you'll be hot on her heels once all the right logistics are in place...meanwhile you can benefit from your sister's learning curve <g>
Have fun you two this weekend! You three I should have said.

She’s lovely. How big is she? She reminds me of the pony I was given to look after for week when I was younger and one of those working holidays at a yard. I loved that pony.

Oh she is lovely. Have fun both of you this weekend with your little Apple and no you aren't crazy. I'm a 62 and after 25 years off I now have two. It's rather addictive.

How inspiring....I used to think time is running out way too fast ! but I will keep going as long as the body holds out! Mags has got herself a wee bobby dazzler..Hope she does not have too many kevinette tantrums...What an adventure..

She is a wee poppet......but I need to be firm with her as she is having a bit of nonsense getting her hoofs picked out. I think she knows I am a bit 'new' and is trying to take advantage. She is young but I can't let her take an inch or else she will think she is the boss. I am giving her the time to settle into her new environment and of course her new owner, but I am not going to allow her to 'think' she is in charge. I need to be assertive ....I need to be assertive......if I say it enough hopefully it will work. My instructor is going to be working with us so hopefully will nip any 'kevin' behavior in the bud !
