I Like Your Pony!

Makena got a pony! Our friends borrowed our trailer last night and made a road trip to surprise their daughter with the CUTEST pony! She's 7 years old (hmmm the pony and Makena are the same age). She has a bit of white hairs on her her withers which tells me she's been ridden more than just a few times.

But she was a little sassy tonight! I'll give her some slack that she arrived late last night and thrown in a shed with horses all around whinnying to her. She's in heat, and she's wondering about everything around her. She's a light on the front-end which I don't like... but we'll change up the bit and see if we can get that stopped with less pressure there.

Ness did a good job riding it out of her before Makena got on. Ness stuck with Makena the entire time she was on this pony to make sure she would stay safe. Makena was THRILLED! In fact, when we pulled up tonight, she came running with a huge grin on her face yelling for Ness to get out of the truck and come see! I am not thrilled about the light front-end, but she came out of it while Ness was riding her.

I'm kinda wondering if they taught her the rearing trick... it seems might automatic rather than aggressive really... but we'll see how it goes. Ness even loped the little turd lol. She's a cute cute pony! and look at the smile on Makena's face.

Yay Makena!
