nino.

nino is our special boy. he's the kindest and most fun pony we have on this place!

we can set a little kid on him and have them ride him around and it doesn't even phase him.

nino's story - el nino was a therapy pony at a ranch for disabled kids. he was cared for by these children as they learned about horses. he also pulls a cart. last march, my trainer told us that the therapy ranch was downsizing, and they had the most adorable mini horse for sale. we went and took a look at him, and the rest is history. nino is the family pet. he says hello and goodbye everytime we come outside, get into or out of our car, or even just open a door. if we're late feeding him, he literally yells at us until we give him his breakfast! or lunch.. or dinner... :) he loves little kids and he loves treats! his favorites are apples and candycanes. he also loves being groomed and playing with the other horses, and he can hold his own really well for being a little guy. We love our nino! :)
