@For_my_love_of_HP Could be fate knocking to tell you to go find a barn and start riding again. It will be a totally new thing, but the joy is still to be found in horses.

I love seeing the picket. Never used anymore.

I don’t think anything could beat the old days of trail riding for hours and swimming in the ocean, but I think you are right…fate is knocking.

Wow. That is so very cool!!! Thank you!

That pony was in our barn in S Fl when the Scott’s owned him in the 80s. He was wonderful

Ha, and for good reason…as an adult I can clearly see how a picket fence could be hazardous!

What an adorable memory! I hope you hear more stories about your ponies. That must have been really hard to have your parents divorce and stop riding. (And i am aware that is a poorly constructed sentence! I can’t figure out the past tense for both those events!) :flushed:

I bet if you go watch some shows in MA, you will see ponies similar to your cutie. A good Welsh pony is still highly desirable.

We tried a horse at a lovely barn near Boston. It was near Foxborough. That was in 2019 and I have no idea what the name was. It was a lovely area!

aw i love that. yeah that’s him. White face and big white socks. He was a striking pony

@For_my_love_of_HP do find a place and restart your riding. I had a small farm in Florida up until a few years ago. reconnected with my college roommate (1977 grad. and we both rode), she’d been out of horses since she’d graduated and came to visit.

I talked her into restarting (we were only in our late '40’s, her kids were grown and moved across the country). She started lessons, did some shows, bought a ‘first’ horse, and has bought a few more, got involved with some great people and barns and is really having a great time being back in the saddle.

It’s so nice to see how you’ve connected with folks and gotten more information on your old pony.
