Sarah Koch Hooley's Blaze Story

My Blaze Story...
By the time I got to ride Blaze, he was an old pony. The old babysitter pony is what my mom called him. He was a free range pony out at the lake and he loved to swim. All horse crazy girls like to swim with their ponies or any pony they can coax into the water. You didn't have to coax Blaze at all. We always hopped on bareback in our swimsuits and he would willing walk into the water. There is nothing like the sensation of feeling your pony's hooves leave the sandy bottom and start to swim. Sometimes Blaze would swim and sometimes he would just keep walking. As the water crept higher and higher, he would squeeze his nostrils shut tightly, then his eyes and walk until you could just see his ears and the top of his head. Such a crazy pony!

Thank you Sarah for sending along your Blaze story. This pony lives on in our memories and we love hearing about Blaze.
