Same Pony?
 In
Nov 1956, my husband, Max, and his older sister, Dianne, had their
photo taken while sitting on this little pony. Max says it might
have been Wichita Falls, Wichita County, Texas or possibly Floydada, Floyd County, Texas, which is near
Lubbock, Texas.
 In Aug 2007, I ran across this
photo on the web.
It looked like the same pony! I emailed the web site and Nora
responded. "The photo was taken of my big brother, Mike, around
1958 in Austin. (Travis County, Texas.) The owner was taking the
horse down the street and asking people if they wanted photos of
their children with the horse, so the photo was taken next to their
house. The horses in those photos look very similar -- apparently,
a lot of kids had their photos taken with horses in the ‘50s. We
also have a baby photo of my brother on a horse."
Look at the photos side by side for
comparison.
Do you have a photo of this same pony?
Email me your photo of this pony
and your story and I will post it here.
Details that seem to match:
- All those "silver" circles and squares on the headstall,
tie down, and breast collar.
- The number of circles on the tie down and breast collar.
- Four white feet with the same proportion of white to black.
- White mane without a white forelock
- The white part of the pony in front of the rider's knees
- The stirrup covers with the dainty points
Details that don't match:
- The spot on the forehead
- The white part of the pony in front of the rider's knee
doesn't look like the same shape
- The nose band has the "silver" squares, (did they all move
over on one photo and get spaced out on the other?)
