>The second stallion amoung the group, always following

>And amoung this small herd of ponies stood two mares.
>Selena, the older of the two, at 12yrs old she was in

>meaning few if any could ride the pony any more, she
>lived her life as a broodmare, with the sweetest of

>The second mare, Thistle was only a 7yr old, a

>The two year olds consisting of the fillies Melody and
>Plixie. Melody belong to Thistle, sire unknown, grey
>like her mother but slimmer in build and height, she

>inherted to this delightful filly.
>The second of the two, a much larger filly at 14hh,
>she was not born of this herd, a lost soul, her mother
>died when she was no more than a few days old, hand
