It's true that a picture is worth a thousand words but oh how I wish for two thousand on this one. I'd like to know the answers to so many questions like where did she and her pony live, in the America, Europe or somewhere else? This picture does remind me of some of the pictures of Gloria Vanderbilt in her childhood days. Since I don't know the little girl's name, I think I'll call her Little Nell. But what should we name the pony? Suggestions?

ReplyDeleteI have a picture of me almost identical to that taken in the 1940's. There was a photographer that went door to door with his pony taking pictures of children on the pony. I was only about three or so. I must try to find that picture.
ReplyDeleteDoreen, That is so interesting! I would never had guessed that a photographer would use a pony...yet, it makes perfect sense. The pictures produced must all have been completely charming! I hope you can find that picture of yourself...I'm quite dying to see it! I'll bet it's just adorable!
ReplyDeleteThe pony look's like a Bess...Lovely photo
ReplyDeleteshe should be named "Lady" after a horse I had when I was young!

I love the name Bess...but I also love the name Lady for the horse! Christine, you were so lucky to have a horse when you were a girl! I always wanted one but didn't get one until I had children of my own. Then my daughters and I would ride every single day! We no longer have horses but the sweet memories of those days riding through the forest down to the lake will remain with me forever.
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet photo to look at - a little girl's dream to have a pony! I think I would name her Socks because of her white legs. :-)
ReplyDeleteI have a similar picture of my dad on a pony. He also said a photographer came door to door with a pony and took picures. He lived in a city. I would guess it was the 1930s.
