Re: [RC] ponies in distance riding - Jody Rogers-Buttram

Hi all,
 
  Joni's first equine was a pony named Racer.  I bought him from Charles Borden for those older SE riders that may remember him.  Anyway, Racer, (I renamed him to Cookies-n-Creme) was a common little white Shetland pony.  BUT, I have personally seen this little guy win a LD ride at Bankhead (not any easy trail).  He beat all the Arabs, he was carrying Charles' daughter, Summer Borden.  This was one tough little pony.  I used him for several years, now Racer is back at the Borden's carrying around Charles' granddaughter!!!!  I think he is about 25 yrs. old now.  He was a super kid's pony, never bucked, bit or kicked and would put up with anything.
 
Jody and the girls heading to Liberty Run tomorrow.

==========================================

I ride a 13.2 POA mare. We did one LD so far, the Cougar Prowl and will do another in June, the L&S ride. Our first 50 will be the Moving up Ride in Sept.

She's tough, takes fabulous care of herself (no grass is safe with her around), drinks well on and off the trail, is smart and seems to be able to trot all day (I on the other hand can't).

I'm only 4'9" and 103 lbs so she's a perfect fit for me. I did however make sure when I went looking that I avoided the more recent trend in these parts of breeding for Halter ponies. The POA people want little colored QHs. She's got a hunter build so she's rather easy to condition and to keep cool on rides.
