I don't have any pictures of me from early days (darn the bad luck NOT), but happen to have several of my daughter. The pinto pony...she saved and saved her money from birthdays, Christmas, selling puppies. Finally she had what would probably be enough. "Mommy, I want a pony". Me: ok what kind? "A puddle pony". Me: ummmm ok, what's a puddle pony? From my 5 year old, with a look reserved for totally ignorant mothers..."A white pony with brown mud puddles splashed on him". Duh. And I found Puddles the pony! Had watched him at a sale, but passed because he was a two year old, broke to drive, supposedly broke to ride. Two days later I was at a friend's house - they had bought him. Seemed like fate. Yes, a 2 year old green pony for a 5 year old isn't ideal, but I loved his mind. She was sitting on him bareback while they shot fireworks. They sure learned a lot from each other over the years! She turned him into a showmanship and walk trot pony supreme..won high points, loved him to death. A little snot sometimes outside the arena, step in the gate, and he was automatic. Fast forward five years, she outgrew him, sold him for a very nice price to another family with little girls, and bought her rockstar, Cheater, a 16hh Easy Jet/Dry Doc bred roping horse who she has taken to rodeos all over the Midwest and even to AQHA World where she presented our country's colors on him. Pretty awesome for a then ten year old and a ranch horse! Puddles taught her to love horses and hang in there, Cheater has taught her to RIDE. I think I know that pony!  LoudAppy - I see you are from our area - so probably! She showed him Green Hills and MSSCA for years! Griz - thank you! He is super handsome - that long white mane and tail gave me fits on show days! My fave was costume class - she warpainted him and dressed up Indian for a couple of years and also outfitted him in full native Arabian. At that age, I didn't care if she dressed him up like the Easter Bunny if it made her happy. Once they let her go into the actual Native Arabian class with the real ones so she could gallop him. Beautiful sight!
Yep, that's him for sure! We show MSSCA also. My daughter did MKYRA for a couple of years, about 5 years ago. It looks like your daughter (and the Spurlin girls) do MoKan, too. Maybe we'll see you around next summer! |

Awesome picture,  I wish I could find my pictures of me riding few of the roping the steers, the kids wanted me to ride so I did, but I used both hands, your brave you did a big bull one handed. Oh the good old days 
Loved riding the jr bulls when i was a teen was a blast

She hasn't done the show circuit for years - went to rodeo queening (traveled 46 weekends first year, 38 or so the next) and ARHA shows. Yep...Puddles went to friends, so that made it a little easier. I still bawled and bawled. She hasn't done MOKAN, but may do high school next year. We'll see! She is working on her breakaway. |

Location: Jasper, Tx | Her I am on my child hood pony "Spot" back in 1978 and I had him until last June he was 40 yrs old when he passed away. He was the meanest pony, he would run me down barbed wire fences, run under low limbs and his favorite thing to do was to stop suddenly and throw his head up and give you a nice fat lip! After all that I still loved him. He also taught me how to read a horse and when they were fixing to do something naughty!! I miss him! Also a picture of us older :) Yes, it is the same pony!

Yes he was!!! but he was fun to ride also. We didn't have a horse trailer so Mom would back the truck into a ditch and load him up in the back so I could haul him to a friends house to go ride!! I was always on the pony!! He has more miles on him than these Peterbilts on the roads! I would ride him thru the house...lol.. Mom was not thrilled...Oh the things I did with Spot I probably deserved a few of those fat lips!! haha
I will tell you this, the day I laid him to rest was the hardest thing I have ever done! I buried a part of my soul with him! He was the last thing I had from my childhood! |

Location: on my horse | Redman is completely obsessed with the stock tank heater, last winter he destroyed two floaters, two sinkers and a tank before we finally found one that fits into the bottom of the tank and sits low enough to make it hard for him to grab. That still doesn't stop him though, he will drive his whole head into the tank with water going into his ears just to grab the heater. Every winter he has little burns all over his nose and lips.
He has a jolly ball, other toys, a buddy, and an entire huge pasture to keep him busy but he still has to go for the the d*mn heater!
OOPS!!!! Wrong post lol
