The Rawlinsons and Mary Catherine are pleased to welcome Prince Charming to our family. As many of you know Mary Catherine has outgrown her pony Lou Holtz and we have been searching for a new pony to replace him. Last week Ms. Dottie Register came by to offer us a pony that she had at her farm...She called him Smokey. After careful examination by Mommie and Mrs. Tina Young we decided he would be perfect for Mary Catherine. PopPop Rawlinson asked to help pay for the pony. The purchase was finalized on Wednesday. Uncle Sam McLaughlin and Mr. Brant Thompson picked him up and brought him to Wildwood Farm where he will live temporarily until we get a barn built down at our Highland Creek Farm on McLaughlin Road. Day one was exciting for Mary Catherine and Charming. It took us about a half of a day to decide on a name... Origionally, she wanted to name him, Tinkerbell. We talked it over and decided that it would be hard to name a boy- Tinkerbell. Finally, she decided on Prince Charming. She calls him "Charming". Our favorite moment is when she went out to the paddock to show him to GAGA. She puts her hands on her hips and calls "CHARMING!" at the top of her little lungs until he finally decides to come see what all the racket is about. Later in the afternoon, she helped get the pony groomed and saddled. She rode him with Mommie leading. She has matured in her riding over the Winter. She did not need a spotter holding her knee or back. She assisted in giving him a bath and a trim after the ride. We then had a brief photo session. We will attach photos for everyone to enjoy.
