Tiny baby pumpkin !!

Ponies !!!

A chance meeting with a couple living about half a mile away has lead to.....more riding.

Kayt has 3 ponies, but can only ride one at a time due to being human. 1 of the ponies is a small Exmoor and very quiet, suitable for a 10 year-old child who's never ridden before. Another is a 13.2 cob who's steady and reliable and suitable for a 39 year-old gardener.
Kayt also has Scooby - a rescue pony who's gorgeous and thriving with the love and attention he's getting.

So... Ellie's become pony mad overnight. We've been out for a couple of fairly long rides and all of us have done really well. Getting my horse-legs back.... I want a pony !!!!!!
