Lyla's Brown Princess Pony!

Today was a beautiful day and now that Lyla is 7 months old, we thought it would be a great day to introduce her to her ponies!

And she was EXCITED about that.

This is P2, Chase and I bought him from the 6666 Ranch in 2005. He was a 90-day broke gelding who we thought would be GREAT for Chase's cowboying needs. And he was. He can rope, he can drag cows, he can do it all. BUT....Chase always said he was so "dog gentle" that he lacked the "fire" he wanted in a ranch horse. I decided then and there that he would my unborn child's first horse. I was sold on dog-gentle.

Lyla, meet your first pony, P2!

It was love at first sight. He's such a sweet horse. Pretty....not so much.

There are a few other prettier selections available, but nothing as friendly as Ol' P2!

Happy with her selection, we will now start training her for Rodeo Queen. It's like Toddlers and Tiaras without the stigma. I have sashes, glitter, crowns, and rhinestone visions in my head already!
