Tag: German Riding Pony

2025 was a very bad year for me. It started on January 2, I was notified that my job was going to be eliminated. On my last day of work I decided to go riding.

When my daughter Dominique was just four years old, we bought her a three-year-old pony, named Cupcake. A crazy move for a parent, right?

Sometimes, all we need is a “downsize” - read how this Region 8 rider’s decision to get a German Riding Pony helped reignite her love for riding and competing.

When this rider set off to purchase a horse, she was adamant on one thing: “Must be a gelding…” until she found herself with a chestnut mare.
