Neekie has been in our family nine years. It really doesn't seem like that long. She has become an interesting member. We originally bought her for our daughter's move up pony from learning on the school horses. She was tough on Kristin, made her learn well. All fired up! Capable of Pony Club C-2 level then and probably still now. Since then she has settled perfectly and has become a rock solid beginner mount. The adults as well choose her on a regular basis. Not fond of cows and pony basketball, but we work around it. Has the most fun jumping, the bigger the better.
