Of course I am fond of all my sister's family's horses just as I am the family dogs, but Jerry also spent some time living here with me as a companion pony, so I am especially attached to him.
He was particularly gorgeous, even for a pony, like a little Andalusian, with his high crest, showy action and frequent showing off.
He so gently took Jen's kids from their first fascinated explorations into horses...
To lead rein lessons...
To first ridden...
And on to more advanced riding.
Along the way, they had so much fun...
And extended themselves beyond what they thought they could achieve...
All the way, he always remained himself; naughty, cheeky, fiery, eager, wary of vets, and annoying to other horses. He very much enjoyed attention and being fussed over...
And he was so loved.
He will be very missed.
love you Jerry xxxx
