I have the best manners of any pony at the farm. They are almost perfect (I make ugly faces at horses that get too close to me). I am very pretty and delicate looking...Karla says I look like a china doll...but I am also very athletic!
I tried eventing for the first time this year and won first place. It's quite an accomplishment because in eventing you have to do a dressage test, cross-country jumping and stadium jumping. I am a fabulous show pony!
I am also an excellent lesson pony. I am well behaved no matter who is riding me. Sometimes I seem lazy, but I'm really not, I'm just conserving my energy!
I can take care of beginner riders or teach more advanced students how to jump. I'm proud of being so versatile. You wouldn't think a 27 year old pony could do so much, would you?
I enjoy being admired and pampered, and like almost every other pony, I love treats!
