The Sweetest Pony
If you have been reading my blog for the past year, you already have met my pony, Moonbeam. Moonbeam is a Haflinger. He came to me by way of a local Amish breeder. Moonbeam is schooled in driving. He has pulled carriages in competition and has also worked the fields on an Amish farm. He is calm and patient and very sweet natured. He is a little on the chubby side these days, however. His best buddy is Donnie Brasco, our little brown pony. They play together and groom each other most of the day. Moonbeam was feeling rather photogenic today, so I thought I would share a few pictures.
Moonbeam also has a great sense of humor!
