The amount of love I have for this pony is immeasu The amount of love I have for this pony is immeasurable. She was the first pony bought for my lesson program nearly 13 years ago. She has taught countless riders since then, and I will never be able to repay her enough for packing my own kiddo around like she does. From a crossrail course straight out to a trail ride, she's the safest thing on the planet and the most incredible teacher. Jazzy Belle, we all love you so very much. Thank you for being the most amazing soul on the planet!
