You just have to love first ponies. They teach you the ropes of riding as well as horse care. They are excellent teachers and often very forgiving ones as well. Pictured is me at 5 years old with my first pony Buttercup. I had her until I was 13 years old and learned a plethora of information in that time. She was very patient and put up with a lot from me as I probably spent hours trying to teach her to jump in hand and I think I gave her a bath everyday I was at my grandparent’s house in the summer.
My Aunt Anna found these photos of Buttercup and I and sent them along to me over the weekend. I believe that I had got her. Wasn’t she adorable?
