LOL-OMG, I'm so glad I'm not the only one that immediately flashed back to my childhood!
Thank you, I am not going through a second childhood. I don't like Welsh ponies, skinny legs and face, no bum. Shetlands big bums, solid legs and real cute to look at........................but the harness can be carried in a tote bag, unlike, the big boys three suitcases...............I kid you not.
Jane will probably get a welsh B, I wanted one I could handle myself harness up and go up the road to the bush tracks, with the kids in the cart. My final game is to drive a pair.
Need to talk to Jane about when we can collect him.....................he is roughly half the height of Jamie I usually drive.
Roberta...........making up for childhood
ps Jane is considering buying a horse truck so we don't have to put carts on the back of Utes or floats and we would get a bed to.
A miniature horsey. COOL!

Karen point taken, but try getting Jamie, Wee Tommy and Angus into the back seat
Check out the LOOK Big Brother is giving the wee ones. "You call yourselves horses?"
the look is "Eat up all yer porridge lad, and ye'll grow big and tall like me" Tommy is a minature Shetland and is 8.2 hands Jamie is 17.4 hands and literarly weighs a ton now. They are actually good friends and go in the float (horse box) together.
:thinik: I think Jamie's look says:
I've made poops bigger than you." :dump:

Dinna they give the horse Guinness for health? That'll make 'em strong, if not necessarily tall. :grin:

No, not just childhood--NOW!!!! I just keep playin' the lotto until I can get my 40 acres and a coupla goats, chikkens and PONIEEEES!
Your new brother is big! And very cute.
leslie......................ponies need mini space 1-2 acres max to rich equals founder...............chickens .......a lot of work for not much and goats .......insurance policy against getting out and eating neighbors gardens.
We hopefully pick him up sat pm, and put in Auntie Janie bottom paddock till the fencer comes on tues, to give him a half acre of crappy grass therefore no founder, but breakfast and dins to make sure he stays healthy.
name change Fergus
Roberta
ps there is aleays a bed here for any of yous who venture westward and the best bits are not the gold coast, Sydney or Melbourne.................plus we have dachies, eagles and pony
Nice! Very cool!
