I went looking for a hackney pony and found this very feminine, very cute, 12.2hh pony mare.\u00a0 I was instantly smitten, just looking at her in her stall. She was my Christmas present to myself.
\n<\/em><\/p>\n

She is 12.2h (50″). She was working very hard to attend her first show in May in the Country Pleasure Class.\u00a0 Due to the COVID-19, all shows in our area through end of 2020 had been cancelled. Then, the show barn where I rented a bank barn, closed it’s doors and I had to move on to the next phase of our lives together.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Video<\/a>, I have her one week.<\/p>\n

Video<\/a>, we are six weeks into our learning together.<\/p>\n

Video<\/a>, working on the road – she is VERY traffic safe.<\/p>\n

Video<\/a>, off roading (chuckle)<\/p>\n

And so she began Phase Two of her life, training with a “little person”.\u00a0 My granddaughter Faith missed her riding lessons at the show barn where I was, so I trained Willow to saddle and Faith began riding her around.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Little did I know that this would lead Willow into Phase Three of her life with Dodie.\u00a0 She entered several CTR’s in harness and did phenomenally well for such a little thing.\u00a0 Taking it to the next step, I found a small adult to RIDE her in a CTR.\u00a0 She earned Reserve Grand Champion out of 11 entries.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And then we decided to make our own driving team by breeding Willow to Whippoorwhills Special Delivery<\/a>, a Hackney Pony stallion.\u00a0 Eleven month and ten days later, we now have Chuleta<\/a>, Willow’s filly.<\/p>\n
