I’m quite excited to report that we brought home our new pony yesterday afternoon after a long 2 week wait to be approved by the adoption agency. It was a long drive but we finally got her home before dark. She is a pudgy little thing and is very food driven but is independent and pretty brave also. She’s staying stayed the night in the box stall in the barn since it was getting hard to see the fence line and didnt seem to mind it too terribly much. We gave her a good brushing and some “primping” before coming inside last night and again this morning. She seems to like attention but is still weary about trusting us. She also neighs every time I walk away… I’m thrilled to have a pony to drive again! We’re thinking about renaming her to “Brie” since her current name doesn’t fit her personality.
She did great in the round pen this morning. She doesn’t know much but took to lounging and having a crupper on easily. I know she was broke sometime before and she took to the saddle no problem. After some mental and physical work this morning, I ponied her on Scooter down to the creek and was pretty impressed. She’s a very smart pony and catches on quickly. LOVED the creek. She does need more patience but we’ll be working on that quite vigorously.
We’re hoping to take a trip to Pt. Reyes next month for an overnight camping trip with the horses. I’m also going to be taking Brie and Scooter to the next gymkhana to get them out since the weather has been a bit deterring.
We’re also going to be flying to Nashville in early March for a weekend trip! More on that when the time comes. In the mean time we’re still waiting for babies but I’m going to let the horses keep me busy until they arrive
Here’s a new pony pic! She’s very cute
