How interesting that would be! Is 'Bertie' a particular breed of pony? or just a wonderful 'mix'....and is that dog in the background a 'lurcher'? Being a rather 'short' (..vertically challenged..) rider, I've always preferred my 'ride' to be a little closer to the ground...or at least not have to have a helping hand on mounting up - something I could just 'jump' on the back of and go... so, whether it's a 'pony' or just a small horse, it's sounds the right/comfortable height for me! Hopefully one day I'll have the free time, the right '4-hoofed' companion, and a good enough map to try an adventure like Becky! For now, you go Becky & Bertie...!
