After battling illnesses over the winter, we had to say goodbye to our long time farm buddy, Hot Shot. He was very old and had lived a good, long life. We are very thankful God provided Him as a birthday present for Amanda. I can remember her sitting on him backwards getting her homeschool assignments done and keeping him company. This simple pony gave our family a lot of joy. We will miss having his presence on our farm but are so thankful God allowed us to know him.
