QNinaSue ... Thanks for sharing your story and I look forward to more. Maybe you'll show us some of your pictures of your ponies? Hey, better still ... here's an idea for you, maybe you'll include some photos ON your FWSPC quilt??
No real pony stories of pics here. Like most kids, of course, I wanted a pony/horse. Born and raised on a dairy farm, they were not seen of any importance and so there were none. The work horses were gone from the farm, just before I was born, so I never had anything to do with them, either.
