MY little Pony is named “MY Poker Face.” I fell in love with Jack, as we call him, when my friend invited me to jump bareback for the first time. He had not been ridden in over a month but we took off and jumped 2′ without a problem! He easily executed lead changes and roll backs. He is the perfect pony. If only I was shorter, or Jack taller!

my friend owns a cute little pony. And i went to a show with my friend and i decided to play a prank on her, so I swung up on to Digger, the pony, and away i went! i loped in circles, just out of view of my friend. But Digger is curious, so when he sees a mini pony he darts to the left to get a better look. i fall onto his neck, and my head hit right between his ears. luckily he wasnt hurt but he gave me a headache! I love horses and ponies , so this experience is something that i will cherish( and learn from ) 🙂

My pony is my absolute dream horse! No, he isn’t black like the Black Stallion but his temperment is perfect for me and he loves to try new things. He’s this girl’s best friend!

When I got out of high school a friend of my uncles that I had known for years as well offered to let me have one of her horses. It was my dream horse a young Thoroughbred mare and the most beautiful horse ever. Trick was she had never been ridden. With the help of a few people we got her riding and oh the fun we had I loved her. But we had so many fights and she always wanted her way and because our personalities were exactly alike we didn’t always get along well but no one doubted we were best friends. I broke my wrist from a fall off her and then broke my jaw in an accident at school so for 6 months no one rode her. When I could ride again she did nothing but run away, I was scared of getting hurt and decided it was time to move on. I found a trainer willing to trade her for one of her horses or ponies. I went to her farm and rode a pony she had there and fell in love. I brought her home that week and even though she was well trained and listened she was going to test me and make me earn her respect. We have had our battles too but non so bad as my first mare. We haven’t reached the level of respect and friendship as my old mare yet but in the 7 months she has been my pony I have learned so much about riding, myself and gained so much confidence back that I had lost. I find myself no longer looking at the nice fancy horses but instead looking at the scruffy and sleek ponies out there. I may never own anything but a pony again after this.

I used to ride an adorable, tiny, and very smart pony. One day, I was riding outside and I had just started cantering(but only on the lunge line) and I was riding off the lunge line. I was trotting and the pony decided he didn’t feel like trotting anymore. He started cantering and ran right out of the arena. He cantered straight on to the rode! Luckily I fell off in time to not be dragged on his “escape”. No harm was done to the pony but it was one day I’m sure I will never forget!

I once had this little white mixed breed pony. She had a heart of gold until I took out my riding tack. I couldn’t catch her for anything. I had to think of ways to out smart her as she would run from the barn after I fed her. I would have to switch things around on her just to save time in catching her. Sometimes there were days that wouldn’t be able to even touch my little pony. On the days that I was able to get a hold of her, she would take me everywhere without argument.

My local stable got a pony last fall named Bingo. (Cute, right?) When he arrived, his mane was shaved all the way down. Once it started growing out again, it looked like he was growing a Mohawk! Everyone loves playing with his mane, even though it’s growing out. We keep begging our ridding instructor to cut it back again, but he wants to see Bingo with a full mane first.

One day at the fair, I was showing my pony, Blossom. We were in showmenship. She started sucking on my pinkie. However, she didn’t make it where no one could see, she made it sooo noticeable! Everyone was laughing!

The pony I leased, Spot, was a shaggy monster at first. If you wanted to bridle her, she reared, if you saddled her you were in for some squashed toes, and were squashed against the nearest surface. When asked to canter, she bucked, and if there was grass, look out, you would be over her head. However naughty she was (and those are only a few examples, don’t get me started on trailering, baths, blankets, and longelines), she had a certain style that made her a great jumper and hunter. Once you told her she had to go over the jump, she would overjump with fine style. Shows were hysterical, she would race around the course, jumping high with perfect form, albeit on the wrong lead. My funniest memory would be after she returned back to our family, two years later, from being leased. I decided to take 12.2 Spot out for a bareback hack in the corn fields. I am 5’6″, my feet hung down by her knees yet she couldn’t wait to get going. It took me fifteen minutes to get on, each time I would attempt, she would start moving before I was fully on. Once on, we trotted off and soon were jumping the small irragation pipes. Spot was alot better mannered and I wished I could enlarge her. Spot is a pony I will never forget.
