StoneyOpenRoadsterPomona~1981

This was by far the most memorable Roadster class *Ever* for me.  It was an Open 46" & under Roadster class and we were the only white Welsh pony in it, all the others were brown/black American Shetlands with their Professional trainers!!  The crowd and the Judge enjoyed this class so much that he let us go AT SPEED (pictured) for more than 3 full Laps of this Huge Carnation arena at Pomona (Thanks goodness the turns were banked).  Stoney was passing them all up too and we were on the rail and the others were cutting the corners!!  What FUN was that class with the crowd cheering us on!!  We got a Fourth Place out of 6 ponies, not bad for a 17 year old white Welsh pony in an Open Roadster class.....  It was the BEST 4th place I ever got!
