Thing I have to tell No 2......

This is a story for Renee Finberg

Once upon a time

I was like every little girl

who wanted to have

a pony of her own

to ride!!

Fortunately the circumstances 

of my family were such

that I had that pony

and a few more as well

and I grew up in the show ring

in both riding and led classes

                                                        Debbie Dunbar artist

and perhaps I took

 the love of that first pony

just a bit too far

because I made Top 

(who knew nothing about ponies!)

have ponies too!!!

                                                                                                     Welsh Mountain pony from popsters. com

Bless him he was wonderful with them

 and he became the best

riding teacher at the local pony club

and really taught those kids

how to look after their

beautiful animals

                                                                                                                              Australian pony from Google

But eventually life got in the way

as it does (thank goodness)

and I found babies and moving back to the city

didn't make ponies a good fit any more

                                                                                                                               Australian pony from Google

It was hard to give them up totally

 so I did a terrible thing........

I became 

a breed pony judge!!!

Welsh Mountain ponies and Australian ponies

were my breed of choice

but for my sins

                                                                                                                                        Shetland pony from Google

I generally ended up with

the Shetlands as well!!!

I have not been into the show ring with the ponies

for over 15 years now

instead we have chosen a slightly smaller animal

with our Borzoi and Saluki and

entered the dog world

but I promise

I will

NOT become

a dog breed judge!!!!!!!

Goodnight
