Wrong Way Again

A moment to stop, finally!

As you know, we love our animals! I am supposed to be working on reducing the number of horses we own but I've gone the WRONG WAY again!

Meet Meah (me-uh).



We were given the rare and gracious opportunity to adopt Meah since her owner is moving from the country to the city. Just a good home where she'll be loved and enjoyed is what Meah needed.

It seems that ponies like Meah are rarely found listed for sale and most often are lifetime members of the family. On occasion they are adopted by another growing family. My own childhood pony was actually loaned to us until we no longer had a use for him. (He was special too!) While still being "pony", they know their job and they love kids.

Meah is no exception. She really seems to have an affection for "little people" and a very gentle soul. I anticipated that she might take a moment to consider getting into our strange-to-her horse trailer. On the contrary, she tickled me by following our 9 year old right in without batting an eyelash.



Meah took that bite of grass she wanted but then she did give in to the little girl on the end of that line. She walked along patiently. They're already figuring each other out! :) They all love her!



But this child...


...this child's heart is involved!
