My Beautiful Show Pony in a Schooling Session at Hunters Run


These photos and video are from late July when my pony was at his first rated horse show and he was in a schooling session with the quiet lovely sensible talented Kelsey.  He was happy to be on an adventure and happy to be pleasing his Grama and friend.  I just love him.  I'm writing this entry on Monday, October 31st.  And I'm thrilled to say that in the middle of the week, Renny is coming home!!  I'm picking him up from his two months of training.

Professionalism on Day 3!


Here's my relaxed, unconcerned, talented boy, putting in a good day's work at his very competition at Hunters Run in July 2011!  Here he is, giving his best at his 3rd day of being at an irritatingly hot show where his stall is facing a wall.  He was mad about the stall, but here he is, giving his best.  He is relaxed with his good friend!!  Love my boy!

My Beautiful Girl and Her Daddy!



Here's a late June set of photos of my girl, relaxing after a riding lesson.  I just love her.  This summer I discovered that her father, Groomstick, passed away in February 2009.  I feel blessed to have her as a member of my family.
