At this stage of our lives we can afford to buy our own ponies, and we could dye them lime green and royal

every year when I was a kid I asked for a pony...and my grandfather told me every year that if my dad built a place for it to live he would buy me one. Needless to say that never happened. Which is probably why I bought myself a pony last summer...I'd consider all ridiculous over the top offers on the foal she is going to drop soon

My 7 yr old son gave me a framed painting he did of some jockeys on horseback in colorful silks. That may not sound great, but actually it was quite good and will be hung in my office tomorrow.

I also got two books, but I get a couple of those every year.

Santa brought me a Old Friend's calendar, 3 beanies (Secretariat, Smarty and Street Sense), a Seabiscuit bobblehead and goggles signed by Mike Smith. Then a bought myself a saddle cloth from Thor's Echo, his 06 Ancient Title.
As for the pony, never really wanted one. I had my eye on a dirtbike and man if I wasn't upset every year that i didn't get one.
Love the lawn jockey...thought about getting one for myself decked out in the Phipps colors. Huge Easy Goer fan....

I made a plan for a run-in shed, and pasture rotation in a suburban backyard.

Keep that foal, and break them both to a pony cart!
