Pony


I had the honor of spending the last three years with Pony. He was rescued from walking a life of endless circles for kids at a fair. The owner of this barn saw him and brought him to spend the rest of his life in a happy home where he could run around with the big boys.

Pony might have been half the size of the other horses, but when it came time to re-organize the pecking order, he sure thought he was the biggest horse at this farm! In my eyes he was the "brick" of this barn. A horse that belonged there and would always be there - the constant one. But unfortunately, I was wrong. When Pony passed, I was amazed at the grief I had for his little soul. He was the first horse I have loved and lost.

I am blessed though. I have many, many wonderful memories of him. He was the companion to my horse on his first trailering trip in 10 years. He hopped right into the trailer, and came to my house two times last summer. I was able to bond with him those weekends by having him at my house...spending 48 hours together. I would pony him with my horse out on the trails...my favorite memory of him was running back down the trail to the barn, he was doing that cute fast trot of his (he was always determined not to canter!), my horse at a nice slow running walk and we came up to this fallen tree. I looking down at him, they both jumped the log side-by-side, his thick black mane flowing up into the air and his little hooves tucked perfectly under his chest. What a sight to see Pony fly.

And now he is flying again, over the fields past the rainbow bridge. God speed, Pony. I love and miss you.
