Katelynn and QuickDraw

My name is Katelynn and I am 13 years old. I started with PonyPros when I was 11. I have been playing with an amazing 10-year-old Arabian/Paint cross pony named Quick Draw McGraw. He is named after a popular old cartoon because he looks similar to the hero of the show, Quick Draw! I want to spend all of my free time with the great ponies at PonyPros because it is always great to just play and be with them. While I’m with my pony, I am thinking how lucky I am to be part of this great organization because they paired me up with my absolute perfect pony! Quick Draw is goofy yet loveable, always trying to impress you but knows his manners, and always tries to please.

PonyPros is a great organization that really wants to help kids just like me. It is great for kids who have wanted their own pony to play with ever since they can remember, but never had the time or space for one. Without PonyPros, I wouldn’t have the opportunity to learn natural horsemanship or play with a pony. I come out 3-5 days a week, and on weekends, spend about three hours a day. I am a pony addict!

Not only did PonyPros allow me to be with ponies, but also to meet new friends! Most of the kids in the PonyPros program are around my age and enjoy the same things I do…PONIES! PonyPros doesn’t just help kids it also helps ponies. Over half of the ponies, including my pony, Quick Draw, are rescues! Most unique of all, PonyPros doesn’t use bits and we do most of our riding bareback! What we typically learn at PonyPros is how to play with the ponies on the ground using natural horsemanship and clicker training. I am grateful to be part of this great organization!
