Here she is!
BonBon was a New Forest Pony, imported in
the 1960's by a breeder in Rehoboth, MA. Over the years, she gave
birth to 18 foals; she can be found in the pedigrees of lots of New Forest
Ponies in this country. Her registered name is "Santander
BonBon". She was given to me by an acquaintance about 6 years
ago, and spent many hours with me in the ring here at Grazing
Fields. I'm pretty sure she could have taught most of those lessons
herself!
She died on December 1st, 2003, at the age
of 43. Just two days before her death, she was trotting around the
ring with her ears up, happily baby sitting young riders.
We sure miss her! My son, her
"real" owners and I will be planting a garden on her grave in
the spring. |

Here she is at the tender age of 37 with my
son (5 at the time), preparing for his lead-line performance at the
Barnstable County Fair. What a versatile pony!

Another reason to love her - being a ghost at
the Halloween Horse Show, fall 2002.

Pokey, a trail horse I bought last summer-
she's also been great in the school, but it's been nice to do some
organized trail rides. Maybe we'll see you on a hunter pace someday!
