My 4 year old daughter Jackie has loved horses for over two years. She has ridden ponies many times and even more times I have taken her to feed carrots to horses in Bridle Trails. She even has her favorites she feeds regularly - Tiffany and two others she calls White Berry and Blackie.
Tonight she called me and told me that she decided she wants a horse and a place to keep it - for her fifth birthday. I will do anything I can for her - including getting her a horse and place to keep it. My father once told me that when someone really wants something, they should ask for it. Jackie asked - well, she's been asking for two years, but now she is very serious.
I'm sure there are many more of you out there who have shared this story at some point in your life. Here's your chance to make the dream of a little princess come true: You can send contributions in any amount to: Pony for Jackie, PO Box 50262, Bellevue, WA 98015.
Once the dream comes true (on or before her birthday in November), contributors will get pony rides for free.
This may be another hair-brained idea from Hair Farmer Joe, but I am serious - I will do anything I need to help my daughter achieve her dream.
Thank you for any contributions, help, advice or comments you can give.
