Someone did mention that she looked like a Finnish breed of horse. Maybe this is the same thing? I'm glad you found a good pony. I know how hard that can be. We had a wonderful (ancient) small pony that my kids could ride independently at 3 + 5 years of age. He died several years ago, and we were never able to find another like him. I hope your DD enjoys her new friend. It sounds like you are going to be one busy lady soon if you are expecting a referral. Congrats! GEN LID 3/7/06 Cheysu,

Is your pony a fjord cross? I've seen a lot of line back duns that are out of fjords somewhere down the line. (no pun intended) Our new pony is 14 hands, a little bigger than I wanted, but she is dead quiet, very sweet, and perfectly trained. DD can get her to walk and trot over ground poles and bridges all by herself, which is a feat for a 5 year old's little legs. You'll have to send me pics of your kids on your new pony! gen-

I still can't help but hope that if any agency employees know that packages are on their way (we hope!), they can find out what's in them and share the info, though! Please??

The only referral we got this year was a 12 hand line-back dun. We had been looking for a good small horse for our children for over a year. When we found out her name was Ladybug, we knew she was just the one for us, and she is! The saddle came for Christmas. Out of a yucky and hard year of waiting, she still makes me smile. Hoping I can keep smiling for another year! GEN LID 3/7/06 Cheysu,

I keep telling myself that I refuse to clean out the baby's room until I get a referral. It could possibly be laziness, but I like to look at it as stubborn refusal. Instead of stocking up on baby items, I've been shopping for a new pony for our 5 year old dd. I have a crib filled with 1st daughter's stuffed animals and old toys, the boxes for Xmas decorations, the vacuum cleaner, tupperware full of dd's old clothes, and a dresser in the nursery. I have no rocking chair or bottles or baby toys or a high chair. I have nothing that would allude to the fact that we're expecting a new baby. But I did just find the most adorable little bay mare pony that I'm having trucked to our farm next week!! On top of that, instead of ordering those mandarin audio cds, most of the Chinese that I've learned...I've learned from watching Serenity and Firefly. I'm in for a woooooooooooorld of hurt here, people. Reality is going to kick my butt when that referall arrives. But until then, I think that I'll need a new saddle for the pony, cuz mine won't fit her! ::::banging head on desk::::: I don’t think I’m handling the wait very well.

Like everyone, I was hopeful for news at least by now. This reminds me of that crazy November 2nd batch where we waited and waited (38 days) for referrals. The good news there, is the longer it took, the more they delivered. So, I am hoping this is a similar month and that they will kick off the new year with more than we are expecting. At least, through Septmeber 30th!! Happy New Year RQ families! -DJR (10/24/05LID) To everyone waiting,
