I loved the article. Some day I want a Halflinger. They're so cute because they look like overgrown ponies.
Agree Haflingers (as well as Icelandic horses) are so cute. Rode a standardbred in my younger years -a great trail horse and not a bad jumper. But loved the comfortable gait when I had a chance to ride an Icelandic. I tend to love those rounder barreled horses (Morgans, Arabians, ponies) but being short legged it was often easier to ride a thoroughbred!
This was a wonderful article...thank you. I own a mare Missouri Fox Trotter, dapple grey, who also is beautiful and always looks like she has eye makeup on. However, if I ever get another chance to own another horse, I would love to have a Fresian. But for now, my smooth Foxxy is all that I need or want.
Beach penning day for Chincoteague Ponies? It sounds like a nightmare come true for the ponies and people think its fun? Horses are herd members and experience profound grief at the loss of a herd member. Especially a sudden stealing of herd members. All so humans can "have fun". The more you know about horses, the more this event should horrify you. Stop the round ups. I own and work with ponies and horses. To think of the round ups as "fun" is unconsionble.
I have owned a Wild Mustang....what a joy and exhilarating experience. To watch him go from wild to tame...it is very possible to own one. There is a process and getting one and mine had been branded and registered, quite impressive!! The snorts, high kicks and crazy attitude is something I had never heard or seen come out of a horse. He turned out to be one of the sweetest horses I have owned!

My sister had a Mustang, it was well trained when she got him. His name was Reno, and she would ride him bareback, even if she was so afraid to ride, somehow, this guy gave her confidence to ride. So, I sure would like a horse like that.
I was able to fufill my chidhood dream of the whole pony penning experience with my 9 year daughter in 2013.A major storm hit as we waited in our small boat for the ponies to swim.(first time ever in pony penning history)it was very scary I must say.Then My husband,Glenn, shocked me as HE started bidding at the auction. Well we ended up bringing home Stormy a little solid bay colt. It has been a life changing experience raising him and now training him with my daughter,Desiree. He is the sweetest most loved pony in the world. I am blessed.Chincoteague ponies are the best all around pony.
