Cynthia Brewster- Keating let us know that on April 20 th , a wonderful pony was laid to rest. Pearl was 21 years old and suffered renal failure. She spent 18 years of her life being a great lesson pony and taught many kids how to ride and fox hunt. She hunted and showed all over new England and then retired in Aiken where she was reserve champion last year at the Historic Hitchcock Show in the Woods. Pearl was raised and trained by Melody Taylor Scott of Evergreen Equestrian in Southborough Massachusetts. She will be sadly missed by many.
