I grew up with horses and was riding in horse shows by the time I was 2 years old. Houston got his first pony right before he turned 2. She is a little Shetland pony and is the size of a mini. You can probably put her in the back of my Highlander and I would never know. He has grown so much this past year, he is now too big for her.
Tim's parents got him another pony, Buck for his birthday in August. Buck is cute, but young and we don't trust him to ride by himself on Buck like he did on Dixie girl.
A family friend of ours, gave my dad a pony for Houston to have. Her name is Lightning and she is a doll! These pictures were taken the first time Houston met and rode Lightning. He loved every bit of it and I was so happy that she was such a sweet natured pony.
That day, we decided to ride in the Somerville Christmas parade. I started out leading her b/c I thought she may be scared of the bands, music, singing, microphones and other noises. I ran into some students from my class and took turns putting them on back of her and she just stood there. Of course Houston was in Heaven showing his new toy off to all his friends!
Check out the continuous smiles

ReplyDeleteI scrolled down and was reading other posts and I have to tell how nice it is that you have a volunteer that helps you file, make flash cards, etc! I'm a 4th grade teacher and WISH I had a volunteer like that! That'd be awesome!
