Our first home. We hauled it from Forsyth on the lake to twenty acres on Gramma's farm in Willard. We lived in it 2.5 years. Tired of close quarters and hauling water for us, pets and horses we bought our house in Willard.
This is our place now. Minus the green Dodge and the green VW bus. Add a couple more horses lol. Needless to say we are horse poor. We do love it here though. Close to the hwy for Tim's commute yet still fairly private. Do have more traffic than I expected but I can live with that even though we're right on the road.
The first pony ride that I remember. I'm hanging on to Allen's hair with Cousin Billy at the reins. Boy ,wasn't I something?! I love this picture. I sure did envy them. I mean, gosh they had a pony!
Here's our first and only pony we had as kids. Patty. Mom told me she was an old circus pony or some story like that. Only tricks I remember were dragging you off with a tree limb or sitting down with you. lol I loved her anyway.
Either the sun was in my eyes or it was my InjunJo impression. That was one of my nicknames as a little kid. The other one being "Needles". Not sure where that one came from but Aunt Mary never let me live it down. The first picture was taken at Uncle Paul's house in Oregon and the second taken at Mom and Pop's place "in the country". Mom and Pop being our Sprinkle grandparents. (Some people that may be reading may not know that.)While growing up I tried to talk Mom and Pop into letting me get another horse but Mom said one would run the beef off the cows. Seemed to me on 80 acres there would be enough room for both.
Took me an hour to piddle in the yard with feeding everyone, brushing and spraying a few of the horses for flies, watering plants blah blah blah so I'd better post this and get to my house work.
