After all your kind words in the blanky thread, here are some more pictures of my little poop head Misty. She’s a Paint/Shetland cross, 8 years old…
Her story:
We purchased a 10 HH (hands high, one hand is 4 inches) Shetland pony mare for my brother to own when he was 7 and I was 11. We bought this pony, Beauty, in September, 1998. In February 1999, we noticed Beauty was getting HUGE and one day my mom was grooming Beauty and Beauty’s stomach contorted!
We had the vet out and he confirmed, yes, Beauty was pregnant and due within a month! We called the previous owners who were shocked…BUT they had put Beauty (who keep in mind only came up to your waist) out with their 16 HH (really tall) 2 year old stallion – because they thought "he was too big" to try to get her pregnant. Well…wrong…!
March 21, 1999 Misty was born!
