That's me and my first pony Chief. I think I was about 3 years
old at the time. He had really bad feet so he couldn't run away with
me. He was gentler than a kitten anyway.
This is my cousin Andy riding my pony Jingles. That's me of course
holding her head. I think I was about 9 years old. She was my third
pony. I can't find any pictures of my second pony, "Beauty". We lost
Beauty to encephalitis.
As you can see at 12 I was still riding. Complete with "bell-bottoms"
and get a load of that stupid hat! This horse was called Lola. Once
we trained her she was probably the best horse that I owned. And as you
can see, I didn't think much of saddles either!
This was the last horse that I owned. This was taken after I rescued
him from where I had him boarded. We had moved and had no place to
keep him here. That's Candace on his back. We finally sold him when
he was about 32 years old. There were other horses around but these
were my favorites. I don't have any horses of my own right now, and
yes, I do miss them! This is the first time in my life I can recall that
I haven't owned a horse. We hope to move into the country soon and
I will get another one.
