ilove....horses

Do ilove horses? My youngest daughter Jil  loves horses sooo much, and ilove her sooo much that we finally gave in. We bought her her own horse. Her love for horses started the day she learned how to talk and hasn't stopped since. We always said we would not buy her a horse so she rode the little wild Shetland ponies my neighbour farmer keeps.

   This is her on one of them. (same hairdo:))


She even took one of them with her, all fancy dressed, to show him off on the school playground. But they did not belong to her.


So when the farmer decided (after being single for a long time and finally meeting a girlfriend) that all the little ponies had to leave, Jil became the saddest girl in the world. That's when  Mummy started a lobby with hubbie to convince him it was time to buy her her own  pony (and believe me it wasn't easy :))  So here's the result of my lobby, Jil  with her own pony called Promiss.


The happiest girl in the Universe

  1. I am just SO OVERJOYED for Jil, I cannot begin to tell you how my heart leapt with this news!

    It took me back all those years ago when I'd spent time loving and riding other peoples ponies, and then the day came when I actually had a pony of my very own (his name was Jimmy, he was 4 when I got him and he lived to be 34!)

    Promiss looks just the right pony, with those big honest ears and generous eyes- not to mention the star quality and "look-at-me-aren't-I-gorgeous" pose!!

    Jil looks like a lovely girl and together they're going to learn so much and have SO much fun with ups and downs, moments to forget quickly, and moments to treasure- and you're going to become a Pony Club Mother!!

    All love- looking forward to seeing and hearing much MUCH more

  8. This was my wish when I was a little girl! My Aunt Pauline and Uncle Dean had a pony and they named her Doll after me because that is what my sister called me. I loved Doll. Your little girl is truly the happiest in the universe. Every little girl's dream. What a great mom you are!

  19. That is such a cute history, I also grew up loving and riding horses but never had my own. I still cry every time I see a horse nowadays just because they are so beautiful and because my heart melts with love and good memories... Wow your daughter is a lucky girl and that is so great she has you guys as her family to support her dream!
