One of my friends is looking for a family pony, something that's cute, fun and absolutely, positively child safe. She found a Fjord mare that seemed to fit the bill perfectly.
There was only one problem: My friend lives in California, but Jasmine is in Colorado. She got in touch with me to see if I would consider meeting Jasmine in her place. Of course, I was delighted to do that, so last Sunday I drove to the Black Forest area of Colorado Springs to meet Jasmine.It's a tough life.
Happily, Jasmine proved to be everything her ad promised.
Her trainer put her through her paces. Then I climbed aboard and did the same.
Despite being quite out of shape, I found her to be a cheerful, well trained, fun horse to ride.
She's definitely really cute,
and really, really, really safe.
Will she be the right pony for my friend? Only time will tell, but I'm rooting for her.

Either way, I'm glad I got to meet her!
