This is Miles. He is about 6 years old and tan with bright blonde hair. My sister Leila got Miles for Christmas this year. She was thriled when she opened the picture frame and saw a picture of Miles with a big red bow tied around him. It was by far the best Christmas present she’s ever even seen!

My mom was a horse trainer before she had my brothers, so she knows a lot about horses and horseback riding. I used to ride a lot when I was little, I ride less now, but back in the day I won all kinds of awards and ribbons. My sister rides competitively like I did when I was her age, and she’s one a couple important awards herself.

This is Leila riding Miles this weekend. She has riding about three times a week and loves it. She rides at San Marcos Stables, in Summerland, thats also where we keep Miles because we have Willow in our back yard, and its not big enough for two ponies.

This is Miles playfully rolling around on the dirt in his paddock. He loves to play and roll around in the sun all the time. Leila and I love to brush and pamper him, I can tell he loves it too. His show name is even strawberry shortcake.

I really like having all of these animals and I’m very happy to have horses and be able to be a part of that horse culture. Miles is a truly amazing pony and he has the biggest heart and an even bigger personality!

Overall I am very happy that my mom added Miles to the big and crazy family! He’s an amazing addition and a wonderful pony!
