Wow – this is about as ‘up close and personal’ with a Newfoundland pony as you could possibly get – many thanks to our friend Alan Fitzpatrick for sharing the photo! This is his son, Collin’s horse – but when I first saw it I thought it might be one of our sweet Newfoundland ponies. If eyes are the window to the soul, then I’d say Alan knows this pony pretty well!
Today is the day my youngest daughter, Kathryn, is coming home for the holidays. And I’m very pleased that she will be extending her stay this winter, so that she can help us take care of our many ponies (and horse and goats and sheep and ducks and chickens and dogs and barn cats and …!). She’s going to have her hands full!
