True Friendship

I’d like to share a moment that I witnessed last Tuesday.  One of our little girls named Claire, whose pony is Rocky; got to play with him in the turn out for the first time.  She and I watched him roll in the dirt and get all dirty like he always does.  He is a white and black pony but always walks out of the ring brown. Well on that day, Rocky only rolled once or twice and chose to play with Claire rather than being a silly pony who runs around playing by himself.  Claire walked over to him and started interacting with him.  He shadowed her every move in our small ring.  If she walked in a circle, he did.  Rocky stayed right by her side.  When Claire walked over a little jump, he followed.  Claire was thrilled to see how much her little pony loved her.  She was truly overwhelmed with joy to think that he would follow her everywhere like a little puppy.  It made me very happy to have witnessed this special moment.
