sisters

LOOKING BACK, Part 2
As Tansy, the part-bred filly, grew so did the need to have someone work with her. That person was a talented, down to earth young woman named Lexi Aho. The year was 2009. Lexi helped a great deal and that silly filly firmly planted her hooves on our hearts.
Before long, Tansy's registered full-blooded sister was looking for a new home. Five years old, Mandy was adorable but was also trained under saddle. Lexi looked her over and approved. During that purchase, Lexi's father took an interest in the ponies.
Call it serendipity, but George and I fell head over heels for each other. It was no longer just me, it was us on this pony ride, both having no idea what lay ahead but excited to find out.
6 months later, the girl's mother came up for sale. Heather was 10 years old and stunningly beautiful. There was no doubt in anyone's mind, Lexi, myself, and George, that she would come to live with her daughters.
We had no idea what the Newfoundland Pony actually was at that time. This was 2010 - there was next to nothing available for information on the breed.
What we knew was what the seller told us - the breed was rare.
What we knew was that they were like no other breed we had experienced before.
And at that time, what we knew and what we cared about was having 3 very nice ponies. here to edit.
