walking around the neighborhood
I discovered something that was new to me:
yard ponies
not something you see every day
or ever
in my case
they were quite big
seemed peaceful
a couple of them looked very tired.
—
“trotting together
we know our way,
through bright sun of morning
our cares, cast away;
our ponies fly over fields and streams,
working together,
weaving our dreams.
From ” Ponies,” Celebrate the Seasons”

I have seen a lot of things in people’s gardens, but never ponies like those. 😊
Best wishes, Pete.

That’s a fun way to horse around in the yard! 😆 Some of them actually look quite real.

yes, and I literally did a double take! I love eccentric people and it didn’t seem like a child’s thing, so I assumed it was an adult’s yard art –

I’ve seen gnomes in neighbor’s yards but never ponies. Rather creative me thinks.

Are these quite small? I’ve not heard of yard ponies before and they appear small in the picture.

I was the typical horse crazy little girl. I had piles of little plastic horses with cowboys and Indians. My yard would have looked like this. Only the horses were about 2 in tall.

We have yard elk. Big, brassy, and they, pretty much, do what they want.

Yard ponies who knew? When I was a kid, I always wanted a pony. My mom told me that our yard was too small. I knew she was lying!!!! I knew it. I knew it. Ha, ha.

These are a big thing in Portland. People secure them to old hitching post rings built into the sidewalks in front of their homes.
