Driving already? They sure do grow up fast don't they? Beautiful!

She has your eyes, Lil Bit.

How is she old now? My youngest grandchildren (twins) are eighteen months. Just learned to walk a few months back. They sure are cute at that age.

Very sweet pics, Lil Bit !

You and I know how we have been with the horses in our lives.....do you think she will take to riding as we did ?

Oh how fun !

If I may add my 2...... that Welsh Cob would be perfect.

Longer use- and more variety. Also, they tend to have very dependable good dispositions .

Sometimes Shetlands scheme too much with kids.....knowing what they can do to and ignore their small learning riders .

Also, she will grow fast, and a Welsh will fit her a lot longer as she becomes taller.

Plus, if a pony needs training in saddle, a smaller adult can ride a Welsh , but a small Shetland may be more difficult . A pony thats taller can handle an adult that would be able to do refinement training .

I always liked the snappy looks of the Newforest ponies, too.

Theres a slew of breeds and mixed breeds that would be a good fit too, Im sure.

I was racing small horses by the time I was six.....12-14 hand sizes.... with no troubles.

OMG!! One of the best "with Santa" pictures I've seen in a long time. She looks SO happy.
