Image via WikipediaIn mountains and highlands, of North Shetland Islands , are ponies of speed and strong frame. They’re lovely to see, running wild and free, and some are quite easy to tame.
A fine pony named Steed, ran for hours at full speed, then he slept very well through the night. He galloped and trotted, and was beautifully spotted. He was an incredible sight.
One day it was snowing, with a cold north wind blowing, and this pony was chilled to the bone. He wanted to eat, and acquire some heat, so he called a young boy on the phone.
The little boy said, “Hi, my name is Ted. And YES, we will give you a home! So PLEASE, come on over, and meet my dog Rover, who loves to drink tea with a scone.”
In the warm cozy barn, of a small happy farm, the pony found comfort and joy. Now there’s really no doubt, as they ride all about, that the pony adores that young boy!
When winter was over, there were acres of clover, and ponies love clover to eat. Now they ride every day, and then Steed gets fresh hay. He even has shoes on his feet!
Every day after school, as a general rule, Ted feeds and grooms his small horse. When chores are all done, they go riding for fun. Do they canter and gallop? Of course!
A pony brings joy, to a good girl or boy, as a loyal and wonderful pet. And nothing seems phony about this fine pony, although we’ve not formally met.
