Jose and Quervo are still unsure about being my friend. These are David's pulling ponies. Ain't they cute! One stands at only 37 inches and the other stands at 38 inches. These ponies are used for pulling events. They are hooked to a sled with weight on them and pull so far. The object of the pulling is to out pull other teams. They keep adding weight onto the sled until the ponies can not pull any longer. The gray one is a ornery little one. He ran me out of the stall , the blue roan is just a sweetheart. I know you aren't suppose to pet on them, but I just can't help myself.David gets mad at me for petting on them saying they are not pets and with me petting on them will just make them soft. I was always told you could gather more flies with sugar than with vinegar.

they are very pretty.They qualify as miniatures don't they? Are they male and female?
Ahh..I'd be loving on them too.Animals thrive on affection too. They do better for it.
It doesn't make them soft if they are trained to do a job and are rewarded for doing a good job..and given affection ..won't make them soft..they'll just learn how to love you and to also work for you when they need to.
They certainly are very nice looking.
I like the pulling ponies. Believe it or not, Laura, I have two ponies too. Tuffy and Bucky--my pasture buddies. the are supposed to be minis but grew a little too tall. Tuffy is 40in and Bucky is 38. they are sweet but tuffy can be ornery. He's a great bluffer and if you fall for it he's got ya. Their pictures are on my bog somewhere. Take care MB
