Yes she has, and I have TWO of them! >g<  Nan you might enjoy knowing
that I spent yesterday evening bouncing around bareback on Rountuit
Animal Krackers while my 10 year old Josie looked like a million bucks
posting along side on Rountuit Stormy Weather.  The problem with raising
any animal for endurance is the WAITING.  Ponies tend to mature even
slower than horses and now that the guys are 6 and 7 I'm trying
desperately to find time to get them in shape for a ride.  As far as
temperament...Krackers would walk in the house and get in the
refrigerator if you gave him a chance.  You can forget "shooing" them
away from anything.  You'll be happy to know that Josie is getting very
pushy and demanding that I get her to a ride.  And to the person who
keeps putting juniors on the cover of EN...thanks for making my life
miserable!  Every time one comes Josie points out the total injustice in
the world that they're competing and she isn't.
