Mocha and Kringle had another "engagement".. a few weeks ago, they went to pre-school, but this was a party. My little niece turned five a few days ago, and my sister asked if we could bring the "ponies" to her birthday party. Since they are both so good with small kids, I thought it would be fun to go.
The "theme" of the party was carnival.. and before we got there, a clown had come for a visit, and there had been games and food for the kids. When we first arrived, we had the kids groom the ponies and just have the chance to be around them. Now a days, kids don't have the opportunity to be around horses much, so I just wanted to be sure that everyone felt comfortable with them.
After that - with the help from my other niece - Sadie and Kringle gave pony rides. In keeping with "good horse sense" we did ask the kids to wear a helmet and shoes.... but Kringle was very gentle and gave everyone a nice little ride....
I think some of the adults sort of wished they could have had a little ride themselves.....
Afterwards, it was time for cake... a few gifts.. and a very happy birthday to a dear little girl... who is now...
FIVE!!!!
