Here's a photo and video from a beautiful August evening when I had my last riding lesson with Renny before he left for college at Quicksilver Farm. He was wonderful, just wonderful. He was quiet, thoughtful, responsive. He was happy to serpentine, circle, give his face, and I felt much like Kelsey did when she said that she felt like she could put his face anywhere she wanted. He was just plain old soft and supple and intelligent and fun. I was so proud and happy to be riding him. And it felt so sweet. I could feel all the love that had gone into him -- from picking his daddy, breeding his mommy, caring for her during her pregnancy, delivering Renny, enjoying his suckling and weanling days, playing with him during his yearling days, and then lightly backing him, and teaching him some simple lessons for his job as a hunter pony. He's nothing but a real joy. And that evening was wonderful. Anyway, here we all are -- trainer, barn manager, Grama, Aunt taking the photo, and the main pony himself!
