I'm alive! But not back for good, but I am not gone officialy. But I do have a life. Also, for those of you who knew about the loss of my pony, here is some amazingly good news...

Just like they say, this was too good to be true.

You will not believe it. I got this amazing large pony hunter for only $500. It was an amazing story. He was valued at over $10,000, and they were selling him for just a shade under that on a horse sale website, but they learned my situation about my pony, and they saw me ride him, and... well, just let me tell you the story.

My trainer took me to this barn to help her show some horses to some interested buyers. I went and rode them for the people, and they did like the horses, but they also liked my riding. My trainer had said earlier that they had a pony for sale. I knew that I couldn't afford a new horse, and my parents were in no place to, either. But then she said they would sell him to me for $500. My heart took a leap, but then I thought, a horse worth $500 is probably not a very good quality horse. But I was wrong! After I had finished showing the horses for the people, one of the ladies took me into their tackroom to watch a couple videos of him. I was absaloutely blown away. This pony was flashy, adorable, and could JUMP! Then I met the pony. Wow, he was even better than in the movies. I rode him twice, took him through all the gaits and jumped him a little.

Then I asked my trainer, finally what she thought. And she said:

"If you were my daughter.... he would be in a trailer behind us going home right now."

And so we took him on trial. The first day at our barn for the trial was the best day ever. He didn't spook, do anything funky, and even jumped over some little christmas trees, odd looking gates and boxes, too.

And he's been there ever since!! I love him so much, and I feel like God really wanted me to be happy... so he helped me find another pony, no, rather, helped my pony find me ♥

Sorry that's such a long story. But it was worth sharing Smile
