This is what my Ginger looked like after she was all grown up. Obviously she wasn't hurt by being ridden so young--no sway-back here! Wasn't she beautiful?! She had the slickest, shiniest coat I've ever seen, then or now. Being half-pony, half-Quarter horse, she would be classified as a Quarter-pony now, which is considered a new breed. This picture was taken in May 1973. I was almost 14 & 1/2 years old, and Ginger was almost 5. I guess Sarah's Ranger reminds me a lot of my old Ginger...Golly, I miss that sweet mare! P.S. I just noticed that I am wearing shorts and that I am barefooted...Guess I wasn't too worried about getting my toes stepped on!
