I also have "too many" welsh ponies (is there such a thing?) I have 5 pairs and a spare. If you look at it as two four in hands or one with plenty of spares it isn't so bad! The only hard part is driving single to start them, or work on their particular issues, driving pairs to get you and them used to it and then finding enough helpers to drive the four! But plenty of fun to be had. If you were in NC we could combine and then have WAAYYYY to many pairs and fours! Deb Branson ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
