[RC] power ponies - NancyI am a bit behind in my ridecamp reading, but wanted to address this subject. My daughter rides Lyric who is 14.1, maybe 14.2 when the ferrier arrives. She is a Bask/Profire gray who is tougher then shoe leather. She can out trot my 15.2 hand National Show Horse or anything else on the planet. Lyric will drink any available water on the trail and eats well. She is now all business on the trail. Lyric even kicked my horse to the ground while they were both tied to a tree. (Needless to say they do not get pastured together, ever.) Lyric can pack my big behind around all day then do gymkhana the next. She is one tough cookie. And she loves Danielle. Our neighbor, Corrine rides a Welsh/Conammara cross, Merrylegs. She is one smart pony and is very wise. Mery stopped for over 30 minutes at the Turkey Trot last year. She just would not take another step. Well, Merry had a reason, her heart was skipping beats. I have come to learn that some ponies will have abnormal heart rhythmus and just need a lighter work load. Sorry to say, but we will no longer take Merry on endurance or CTR rides. So sad as the two little gray ponies were so good together with the two girls that love them.
