Location: Arkansas | Three 4 Luck - 2014-09-30 8:26 AM Here is my daughter's horse, Streaker. She's 21 and perfect in every way.
Here they are at their first barrel race together, 2 days after we got her. They entered the leadline, since there wasn't an age appropriate division, and walk/trotted to the win. LOL
And here is Streaker taking care of my stepson--in the first pic he is 6, and the second pic (taken this February) he is 14. I never thought I would let her go (I got as a weanling) but everything fell into place and she now has the PERFECT home with a little girl to spoil her, rather than wasting away in my pasture. |

| I have had a few been lucky and had people share their horses with us. The first is a palomino mare named Goldie and my daughter use to show her lead line when she was around 16 months to 2 yrs old. Then we had Elmer a very big gelding that she rode and did lead line on at 3 and finally Dually who she had for a number of years, a friend let us keep her after she retired from roping. She learned a lot of her because she was safe but still made you work for what you wanted. It wont' load Dually pics .

Love these!
At our house, it's sort of required that everything gets along with the kids. I have one that I turn them loose on, the others only supervised.
PS I know that looks like a whole herd of kids (and it feels like it some days! lol!), but it's three plus a niece who spends summers here from the city to ride) 
We are the same way at our house. We own 4 horse and 3 of them I have no problem putting my kids on them. The other one is only 2 so he is just being lightly started but other than that it is kind of a requirement. |

Location: N Texas | We have a few kid horses. The chestnut is my 27 year old that still thinks he's 10, but he's bomb proof and great with the kids. The palominos belong to my nieces, even though only my youngest niece still rides.

Location: In The Snow, AZ | This is our daughter, Amber, and her pony, Elvis. He's a 22 year old Mustang pony. Previously neglected. He's very timid around people. But he takes care of Amber. He's not much to look at, but with his insecurities, he has become beautiful in our eyes. Amber can crawl all over him. She's still very much a beginner rider, and he puts up with her like a champ.

| On the pony name, I have a friend with a spotted pony and she named him "Porter" - for Porter Paints - I thought that was cute! |

| My now 8 year old son has been riding the same horse since he was 6 months old. This picture was taken at our NBHA State Show. He loves "Spot" and will probably ride her for a few more years. She may not be the fastest barrel horse, but she is a really good team roping horse that is teaching him how to rope. |

Location: Eastern OH but my heart is in WV | OK I want to play also.... Love posts like these. I "LIKE" everyone's pictures!!!!
The first one is "Dolly" the pony that raised ALL the kids (my two and my brother's two). I firmly believe she is the best pony in that ever walked in our fields....

Location: The best kept secret in TX | I'll never forget the old rope mare that took care of me. My dad's friend gave us "that ol' bay King mare" for $50 because she physically couldn't be a broodmare at the afe of 19.
But that never stopped her from taking care of me. She momma'd me and took care of me. And I'll never forget what she taught me about being kind and gentle with horses.
I passed her along at the age of 32 to a little girl I baby sat when I was a teen
Betsy Died peacfully in her stall in her sleep at the age of 42 after teaching the little girl and her 3 sisters to ride as well.
She's barried under her favorite Parsimon Tree at our Ranch.
Love seeing all these pictures!! Brings back GREAT memories of my little bay mare

| You'll have to go to FB to see ours, I am too worn out to move photos around. My kid is now 17....... The cakes are the years we have had him, not her age.

Location: MI | Love these! We have 3 at our house, 2 that are currently being used (1 that is out with a suspensory issue). Sonic is the bay mare. She is my oldest's main mount right now. I owned her and barrel raced on her for 3 years when she was younger. Then I sold her, and another owner had her for 10 years. I bought her back this past spring. So glad to have her back, and she is just an awesome match for my kiddos.
The mini is Susie, our 'babysitter'. Rock solid on the ground and has taught the kids a ton about caring for a horse independently.Since we have so many kids (4), everything here must be kid friendly. And they all are, except for my 3.5 year old gelding (smh), he's too curious and doesn't respect the kids right now. Not mean, just horribly playful. Therefore, the kids are not allowed in the pasture alone. But besides that, we're all friends :).

I like Bumpkin, but it could just be that I was forced to read Ponyrella one too many times...
