Never Make a Deal With a Kid.....

When the femalechild was 5, like all little girls she wanted a pony.
We told her..."When it snows in Florida..you'll get your pony"
Well....
On January 19th of 1977.....IT SNOWED...in West Palm Beach, FL.....!!!
And
That began our 11 year adventure in the world of  horse show jumping and dressage...
 
..Change, it's good for you..

  1. Amazing that you remember the date. It must have been life changing but also very good.

  2. Making deals with my son was something I tried to avoid as he generally ended up winning.

  5. How wonderful that you were able to fulfill that daughter's wish! The best we could do was promise weeks at horseback camp, but that was enough.:) Today our daughter and her husband own five horses! She wasn't keen on competition, just riding.
