Remarkables

I got my first pony when I was 2. My first pony’s name was Shorty, named after my Uncle Shorty Parks. He was a 38-inch sorrel with the prettiest cream tail (his tail was 56 inches long and my mom always kept it up in a braid). Shorty was in his mid-20s by the time…

I am sending a picture of my pony “Lady” and I know you will agree with me that she is a dandy. We have lots of fun together and I ride her to Sunday School every Sunday.  She is three years old and thirty-six inches tall and weighs about two hundred and seventy-five pounds, so you see…

In the spring of 1967, Linda (Streeter), aka Mom, took her stout red tobiano pony, Flicka, to the neighbors rose gray Arab stud. He had a name but it has been lost to history. In those days per Linda, Flicka and her new boyfriend were just put in the pasture together and hoped for the…

Palin is the daughter of Shetland Pony royalty.   Her mom and dad were well-known pony stars.  Maybe that is why the breeders named her Buckeye WCF Classical Grace Kelly. Grace Kelly, the person, became a princess.  Palin was born believing that she was a princess and took the role very seriously! Palin is as delicate,…

The boys had been asking for a pony for a while but I just wasn’t sure if they were ready. A friend of mine sent me Dash’s photo and info and I knew right away that the boys needed him! He was already kid-safe and was a family pony so off I went to go…

DreamHorse.com was a wonderful place to look at and dream about owing a special equine.  One day I was perusing the site and there was Buckeye WCF I’m All Gold. He was a pretty buckskin, pinto, miniature horse, weanling, gelding.  Gold was offered by one of the most prestigious miniature horse farms in the country.…

We bought Polka Dot from our friend Emily Ream in the summer of 2022 as a pasture mate for our retired horse, Parker. We had recently lost our last pony and Parker was very lonely. Polka Dot was kid-safe and mother-approved and knew how to ride and drive so she was the perfect fit for our family.…

I will write you a few lines to let you know how my pony is getting along. “Toby” is certainly the dearest pony of the bunch. I never knew what it was to be happy before I got “Toby.” He dearly loves me and I do him. He stands on a box, rolls a barrel…

I wish I could tell every little boy and girl about our pony “Sunshine” and how happy my brother and I were the day he came. When we started out to get subscriptions to win a pony, people would tell us we were foolish and the Webb Publishing Company never gave away real live ponies,…

I received “Star” June 2nd and papa and I went to town to get him.  We had him in the wagon box in the crate and took him home with the oxen, which you will see in the picture. “Star” is a pretty, brown Shetland pony, three years old and forty-one inches tall and very…
