Pony rides.

Some of my favorite memories as a kid, were with our ponies. My sisters and I were always able to be found out riding our ponies. Any time someone came over to our place, out came the ponies, and we would proceed to teach them how to ride. I remeber going to the neighbors, and teaching everyone to ride. We had so much fun, and we had tons of places to ride. We rode those ponies all over the neighborhhod, and when we got older, I remember taking the horses all the way to town!!!

Since I have such great memories of those times, I have been harassing my husband to buy a pony since JW was like a year old. Ponies nowadays are so expensive. We have gone to numerous sales, but I refused to spend $600 to $1000 for a pony. I remember my parents got most of our ponies for free, or for like $75. Now, I know that was a long time ago, but I still wasn't going to spend that much. One day, I was at work, and recieved a text from Jake. It was a picture of a pony, and it said what do you think? Since it was a Tuesday, I knew Jake was in Klamath Falls at the cattle sale, and I figured the pony must be going through the sale. I figured Jake just wanted me to see it, but he texted me a couple of hours later, and said that it was JW's. He had bought it for JW for $130. What a wonderful hubby and father to my son I have!!! Even though I don't think he thought JW needed this pony, he got him one because he knew how much I wanted JW to experience what I did as a kid. I am very lucky.

We have had the pony, which Jake named Frosty for a quite a few months now, but unfortunately the weather has not cooperated with me. Jw has only been able to sit on him for a few minutes here and there. Finally tonight, I was able to tack him up, and give JW a little ride around the front yard!!! Aren't they cute!!!!
