Actually it's not nature if horses were meant to fly they would go Pegasus (cheap Turkish airline). Daughter has ridden since she was a toddler but not sure she ever rode one of them there horseies. We have a lot of Ponies up here on the moor that they have trouble sustaining. In France they would just eat some . Also have Shetland ponies up in ...Shetland (: and around the UK. I am surprised you have them in America usually pets there are bigger like Maine Coon cats, we don't have anything like that here. We have Manx Cats (no tails from the Isle of White) and Cornish Rexes (hairless cats) from down here. Do you get them in the states?
