Of all the ponies you’ve ridden, which is your favorite?
I love to ride
them all. Disneyland is my favorite to jump and go to jumper shows and
pony club with. Snowy is the best trail riding pony. I like to show him in
western stuff, some jumping and trick riding. Peetie is our tiniest pony
and I trained him how to drive. I love when he pulls me and my little sister
around in the cart. His trot is just so cute.
What pony would you like to ride?
The Phantom or Misty
How did you get into riding?
My Mom. She has been riding since she
was two and so have I. My Grandmas ride and Dad rides, too, even my
little sister.
What is your favorite horse show?
Fun shows, not as serious ones. I
went to the Kentucky Horse Park and watched the Pony Club Finals. It
was so awesome. I want to show there someday.
What was the high point in your riding career?
When I got series
champion at my frst four hunter/jumper shows.
What was the low point?
I got bucked off running poles at my frst
rodeo. I still passed the timer and got a good time. I was trying to keep
up with my best friend and she went fast!

Reed Kessler, my Mom
