Over Thanksgiving before I even realized what had happened I became a pony for my two nephews. All I remember was that one moment I was kneeling on the floor and the next there was a five year old scampering up my back and I was on all fours. As soon as I made peace with this development, his three year old brother was invited up and he began climbing across my calves trying to hoist himself up onto my butt. The pony was forced to draw the line at one rider at a time. After jostling them both around my father’s, my knees braving the hard wood floors, I was rewarded with carrots which they nicely washed at the pony’s request.
With Christmas coming, I am thinking that my young riders might enjoy each enjoy a collection of ponies (and save me from becoming their pony of choice again). Ideally I’d like to make each of them a little book – different ponies in each. If it is not too cheeky to be asking, I and my aging knees will be eternally grateful if you would consider sharing your favorite ponies for these young tykes. If they exist high resolution versions can also be sent to sharon dot lynch at verizon dot net. Thanks very much in advance to anyone who can help me out.
