Two new Shetland ponies for me in one week!

[disneyhorse]

I have room for four horses. Recently decided to switch from AMHR-only minis to Shetland Ponies. I really couldn't decide between the ASPC/AMHR horses or the Modern shetlands for my show string so I decided to go for both. Have been looking for a mare and a stallion of each, but just the right horse.

Well I had the stallion ASPC/AMHR horse, and the Modern mare. Have had them for over a year. I've been looking for the last two for the past year to finish out my show string.

Well this week, my shopping is all DONE! (yep, NO MORE shopping... really!!!! they say minis are like potato chips but the ponies are WAY more addictive...)

Today my ASPC/AMHR mare arrived from NJ Pony Farm in Nebraska. Many thanks to Judy Gottlob for this mare, she really exceeded my expectations! She has just been a pasture pony and travelled all the way from NE to CA so please excuse her picture, she is pictured right off the trailer (I was just so excited and wanted to share). She is three this year and will be bred to my little stallion this summer. If I can get her used to being fussed with she might go to some shows in the future, she's very cute! Her name is "NJs Oh My" and I am calling her "Amy":

And THEN I found the most adorable Modern colt. Jennifer Radoi of Sweet Opal Minis/Shetlands here on the forum owns his full big sister, and that mare is awesome. This colt is a son of "The Duke of Royal Manor" and he is just too cute. Huge thank you to Holly Bowers of MB Stables for "MB's Aftershock." I think I am going to nickname him "Quake." He will be coming up here once he is weaned as he's only a month old.

My stalls were empty with only two ponies in them, I am excited to have all these horses to work with and show again!

Thanks for looking!
