Story | |
| Tom and Sis's Horse-Loving Grandchildren Horse-related activities of various types were common in Tom and Sis's lives. With a growing number of grandchildren, they bought a pony, 'Tuppy'. Many of the grandchildren rode Tuppy, and several rode him more often and also took up other horse-related activities, including Jane, Karen, Peta, Ellen and Maree. I remember tuppy very very well. The time he swiped me off under the railing in shep and broke my collar bone, the time he bolted all the way home from pony club with me on board and having no say in the matter (Portland) and the time we won the Flag race against a much favoured opponent at the Portland show. He was a great pony with a lot of spunk. [Ellen Barnes] Dad remembers how he threw him off then hit a tree stump and broke 4 ribs close to the spine ... "he was a little mongrel ... Typical Shetland!' he he. [Beth Phillips] He bucked me off a few times aswell....he was a lil shit......hehe. [Jane Murray] Just another name that popped into my head - anyone remember Tuppy? Little black and brown shetland - bugger of a thing, used to take riders under round yard rails!!! [Peta Daher] Jane was the one who rode Tuppy the most. She even entered the Shepp Show one year with him. [Karen Barker] Yeah I rode 'Tuppy' in the shep show.....I remember him being piebald with black mane and tail but it was over 45 years ago so I could be totally wrong?? [Jane Murray] He was such a wonderful pony. I looked forward so much every time to go to Shep for holidays - so I could ride Tuppy - even tho he ran me under the rails and broke my collarbone ??… loved having him in Portland for a few years. Thank you Uncle Laurie ??. That pony had sooo much spunk! [Maree Johnson]1,2,3 | |
