… and they are wrapped and under the tree! Her goal has been to ride with the hunt ever since she first went cartopping with me. Mine too. 
I found some pretty good deals at our local consignment place and managed not to break the bank. We practiced “pony-ing” with her mounted for the first time today, going on a lovely little trail ride around the neighborhood, with great success, so we can probably have her out in just a few weeks. She has a little 10.2h black and white Shetland who is about as wide as he is tall, who tests her now and then, but for the most part is a very kind soul. He was digging the pony line - happy as a clam to go trotting alongside his buddy.
We played in the snow drifts. My heart is very, very full.
