Just one of those pathetic 'I love my pony and I'm sad but happy' posts really!

My beautiful little Titchy is sold. I'm really pleased as she needed to be sold (way too small for me and too nice to be a grass cutter) and has been bought by a lovely family to be an all rounder for a 14 year old girl and they are moving her to the yard next door! So she's not really going that far. However I'm also understandably sad. I've had her since she was 1, known her since she was 6 months old, and she's turned into a lovely 4 year old. In one fell swoop I've gone from 7 equine legs (Genie STILL off work lame - going to the specialists tomorrow at long last) to 3 and I'm going to miss her.

My wonderful Mum came and took some pictures of me with my girls yesterday. It took forever due to uncooperative ponies and uncooperative camera but we got there in the end!

The day she arrived with me as a yearling

First day turned out when I thought 'Yikes... this can MOVE!'

First time I rode her after backing by my wonderful trainer - the easiest pony to back EVER. Just got on and off they went! I've ridden her a grand total of 7 times - I'm WAY too big and heavy for her hence just the odd quick sit.

And from yesterday...

This sums up the girls perfectly. Titchy saying 'Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!' and Genie going 'Go. Away.'

And finally I love this photo of me and my girls.

Cookies and milk to everyone!
 
What a lovely horse you are passing on to a lucky new owner. You should feel very proud
 
Thanks all. I AM really proud of her, she's always been so easy to do and I can send her off knowing she will do me proud. The new owners popped over today to collect her stuff, and she is moving tomorrow. The girl couldn't stop smiling and it was lovely to see.
