I have a gypsy vanner x foxtrotter pony named Sugar. The people we bought her from said that her mom abandoned her soon as Sugar was weaned. She was expected to end up 15 hands but she is around 13.3 hands and she is five years old. I got her when she was 3 years old and she has come a long way since then.

I also have a rescue miniature horse named Snow White. Looking at her teeth my guess that she is 11 years old but I am no professional so

. She is the sweetest thing but when I first got her she was scared of everything, wheelbarrows, fly spray, bathed, etc. Just like Sugar, Snow has come a long way since then.

And you know about Star. She is supposed to end up being a least 16 hands. She is actually going to be just a year old in April so I don’t feel rushed at all in her training. Everything I do with her is relaxed and I try to keep work fun for her.
