By Marion Jones, Franklin County, Tennessee I am sending a picture of my pony “Lady” and I know you will agree with me that she is a dandy. We have lots of fun together and I ride her to Sunday School every Sunday. She is three years old and thirty-six inches tall and weighs about two hundred…
By Caiti Gordon I got my first pony when I was 2. My first pony’s name was Shorty, named after my Uncle Shorty Parks. He was a 38-inch sorrel with the prettiest cream tail (his tail was 56 inches long and my mom always kept it up in a braid). Shorty was in his mid-20s…

by George (Illinois) I will write you a few lines to let you know how my pony is getting along. “Toby” is certainly the dearest pony of the bunch. I never knew what it was to be happy before I got “Toby.” He dearly loves me and I do him. He stands on a box,…
by Eva and Darold (South Dakota) I wish I could tell every little boy and girl about our pony “Sunshine” and how happy my brother and I were the day he came. When we started out to get subscriptions to win a pony, people would tell us we were foolish and the Webb Publishing Company…
