The beginning
How it all started. Well, I had always from my earliest memories wanted a pony. It took 30 years for my parents to buy me one. In fact I had to buy my own horse a few years prior to Joe’s arrival ..... but I’m confusing you. It’s not Joe I’m telling you about. It’s Rush.
Rush is the pony I got by chance.
When I was a child I avidly read the Ruby Ferguson books about Jill and her ponies. Every horsey child’s dream. I imagined someone saying to me “here’s a pony nobody wants - do you?” Then this reject pony went on to win all the rosettes, beating the double barrelled named children’s ponies whose parents could afford the best, most beautiful ones available.
