I started The Pretty Pony Club because I wanted to capture the magic of what it's like growing up with ponies.
There are so many skills and disciplines it helps develop but beyond this, it creates memories to treasure for the rest of your life as a child, but also as a parent witnessing it.
Some of the photos in this carousel are my older children (I've got a 14 year old, 12 year old and a 1 year old 😅) and my big ones spent everyday in the yard with me- just like so many of you who will be reading this- and those memories of the things we got up to are so much of what I think about when I look back. They feel nearly grown up now and I'm so thankful for those times we had playing with the ponies, riding ba****ck, going to shows, going to the beach, (maybe a bit too soon to talk about the beach 😅😂) and just being in the yard teaching them how to care for and love horses.
I've now got a one year old who rides everything vaguely rideable- the back of the sofa, the dog, the backs of benches 🥴 and I can't wait to make new pony memories with her (her first proper riding lesson is booked for her 2nd birthday next week!).
I want The Pretty Pony Club to capture a bit of that magic and help celebrate it. It's not about being perfect, or never making a mistake, it's about showing up, doing your best and loving your own unique pony journey. 🤍
I'd love to hear your stories about your own pony childhood, so please do share them 🤍
