PONY
Last Friday was something else.
Let's just say I want a pony.
Why?

I replied with only riding in the summery ones. (Don't know how that helps me the rest of the three seasons but...)
Then I decided it would be a miniature pony.
Ladies and gents this is no tease. This is serious.
In search of pony. (ISOP)
And now for a tribute to Maddie as a young un...
