    Share Share Post
    There is a horse and pony in our house.
    The mare is called nancy but there is no name on the pony. Each of them are let loose in the stables. Some horses are tied with a rope around their neck, others are tied with headcollars. A rope is tied to the headcollar and put through a ring in the top of the manger and tied to a small block of wood, the rope ran up and down through the ring.
