New year

Happy new year! Last year just flew by! We had a great Christmas, Olivia especially! Now we are 10 days into this new year and we have a new addition to the family. Saturday night we bought Olivia a pony! She is the shaggiest pony I have ever seen, but so sweet! She used to do birthday parties and petting zoos, so she is very tolerant!

Olivia has been calling her "Bonita" and "Pearl", she just can't decide which name she likes better ( I like Pearl). Olivia was so excited, after we bought Pearl, I took Olivia shopping at the tack store. She picked out a bucket and grooming supplies. I have never seen my baby so excited, it was a great time. Pearl is underweight, I think they worked her too much and did not feed enough, but now she is happy as a clam in the pasture at her new home. She never lifts her head from the grass! We are all so happy to have her here. I just wish it was warmer out so we could spend more time with her.
This week the farrier will be out to trim her hooves, as they are grossly long. She will also be getting a make-over this week. She is a little scraggly looking now, but not for long!
