Transformation Tuesday: Blog Hop Style

Niamh over at Life of Riley has started an impromptu blog hop, so I was happy to jump on that band wagon.  I contemplated going allllllll the way back to 2001, when I first got Molls, but that would have required a trip to my grandmothers, fishing through photos, and scanning some oldies.  A project for another day.  Therefore I've gone back till 2009 because evidently that was when I started clogging up my Facebook with pony photos :)

First up, jumping photos.  These are fun because I started Mollie over fences right around 2009 anyways, so this really takes her from her first experiences till a few years ago, when I "retired" her from jumping due to arthritis.

And then there are flatting photos, which really end up being dressage photos.  Looking at these really is amazing... there are certainly times where I don't think we've come all that far in the 13+ years spent together, but when I look at these show photos from 2009 I'm blown away.  I remember seeing these pictures and thinking we looked fan-freaking-tastic!! And we did, based on where we'd come from!  Comparing them to now is like no other feeling :)

    1. Thanks so much! I think there needs to be a pony play date (and we'll get Kate involved too!) sometime soon. Mollie wants to go on a field trip :)
