He is a very special horse to me. he is a quarter horse x welsh pony and he loves to do barrel racing and galloping. He has two big beautiful blue eyes. He is 13hh and is very strong and stocky. Sonny Author:  Whitney Ford My name is Whitney Ford and my horse's name is Leo Vee 102, but I call him Sonny for short. Iv'e had him for 5 months . He's been so great since I got him! He's half barrel horse and half cow horse. He's 3 years old and he's registered. He has a famous blood line, his great grandfather is COLONEL FRECKLES! What I really like about him is he follows me around like a big puppy dog, and he gives me hugs and kisses. Every morning I get up to feed him and right when I walk into the barn he whinnys really loud as if he's saying hello. And after school I go to feed him and he's always out in the pasture and when he sees me he starts running and whinnying.He's my best friend!   Myriah Vitaa Author: Kim Winterhalt  Okay the story of Myriah, well when I first got her she was a really nervous horse and she was a complete freak and she was really hard to catch, with a lot of one on one time she is coming around really nicely. Myriah is a purebred Chestnut Arabian. Her mom is my other horse FA Avita. She is 15.1 hh, and she is 8 years old. She was bred to RD Jovani a purebred Arabian stud for a 2005 baby! Myriah can be ridden western but she likes hunter way better. I might be showing her this year too. In this picture it is one of my first rides on her, so we weren’t used to each other yet! I will love her forever! FA Avita Author: Kim Winterhalt  Okay the story on Avita! She is 20 yrs old, she is a purebred grey Arabian, she is 14.3 hh. I got her when I was first learning how to ride, shes taught me a lot and when ever she sees me coming to see her or ride her she is always so happy to see me!! We have been doing very good in shows, she is a very gentle horse that I can jump on her bareback wit no bridle no nothing on her and we can ride around in her pen. She is Myriah’s mom, and Myriah is going to have a baby so I will have the grandma, the daughter and the grand baby! My friends step mom gives riding lessons on her to, to younger kids that don’t know how to ride yet. I was in 4-H with her this past year. I also rode her in the parade along with Steph and Trif. We are going to show this year also, we are going in the parade again this year to. I will love her forever! Trific-K-Dence Author: Steph Trific-K-Dence aka Trif. He is 11 years old. Before Trif came to us he used to a high trotting English horse. We got him in April of 2004, I showed him the same year hunter and finally we tried western, he LOVES it. I showed him Western for the first time in Weignright, we went first!! I was so happy! He is special to me because he picked me out of my family he chose me. When I am not there to feed him, my step mom told me that he sticks his nose up in the air and trots away. He is the biggest suck ever, when he hurts himself he will stand there and lick your hand and he will have the saddest eyes! Trif is a purebred chestnut Arabian. Trif is 14.3 hands tall. I will love him forever! You can do anything with him. I was in 4-H with him this past year also! We are hoping to go to Regionals this year! Wish me luck!   Southern Pine Taffy Author: Megan Southern Pine Taffy is me and my friend's horse. He is in his 30s. the special thing about him is that he was rescued by my friend. You see, he was skin and bones when she bought him. He has asthma and bad feet. With her good treatment and knowledge of horses, he has gained weight and is running around like the colt he spends his time with. He loves, kids, food, food, and food. He cantered over my foot and he had just gotten his horse shoes and Lord knows, it hurt. We call Southern Pine Taffy, Pine. He is a QH/Blanket Appaloosa and is a sweetheart! Simon Author: Amanda This is my pony, Simon. My mom had bought him for me after my old pony Bear broke my arm. Simon is a Pony Of America, but I call him a Pony Of Amanda, since my name is Amanda, and he is my pony. I love him very much. At our first horse show, we won high point pony grand champion.
