It was a special day at the farm today, as our beloved rock star of a lesson pony, Sox, had his very last lesson! He celebrated his retirement, surrounded by a barn full of kids, with some carrot cake and a "Soxicle" (aka a carrot and apple popsicle.)
During the more than 30 years of his life, Sox has taught countless kids and adults not only how to ride, but how to fall in love with horses. Our go to guy for what ever we needed: a slow steady pony for all the tiniest riders to come for lessons, as well as anyone who ever needed a confidence boost or just a horse to help them through fears and anxieties; a fun and safe horse to learn to canter and jump on or to take to your first horse show and come home with all the best ribbons; an always reliable friend to hop on ba****ck and stroll down the trail. Sox never let any of his riders down, and especially never let us instructors down. You can always count on Sox.
We are so happy that he will now get to enjoy his retirement, grazing and galloping around the farm with his constant companions and fellow roamers, Suzie Q and Gizmo, and will continue to be spoiled rotten by all of us who love him so very much!
Thank you Sox!! ❤️❤️❤️
