My New Pony

In a few weeks I am going to get a new pony. She is a 5 year old kaimanawa mare. Her name is Shadow at the moment but I will change it when she comes to my place. She is called Shadow because she is a dark brown almost black. Shadow has been in the same herd with our other pony Sunny ever since they were mustered in together but then they were still together. They along with a grey colt and a palomino mare were taken into custody by a man named Bryce Wood. He broke Sunny and Shadow into the saddle. But Sunny was so laid back that Bryce went to fast with Shadow and she did not work for him. So Bryce sent Sunny to us. But Sunny had only been with us for a few months when Bryce rang up and told us that Shadow had dropped a foal! 7 days later Sunny did too! The sire was the grey colt that had been running with Sunny and Shadow. (The palomino was from a different herd than the other 3 but must have gotten mixed up with them in the yards.) So we have Ataahua and Bryce has Ken, they are half siblings! Anyway since Bryce found out that I was looking for a bigger pony he decided to get Shadow sent to a man who would break her in slowly. And the man has. So all that is going to happen now is that Bryce is going to ride Shadow for a few weeks then I am going to get her. I am sooooo exited!!
