I'm on him on the book, as I owned him at the time and sold him to friends of mine.<br /><br />He is a lovely boy, I would never have sold him if he'd been a hand bigger, and of course no-one could be more thrilled than me that he is back in work, except perhaps George who has a tremendous love of moving and jumping!<br /><br />GREAT news Nic!<br /><br />Ccptrayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06564275580390738561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8415492346905673232.post-11540130356535944092011-08-19T15:03:53.524+01:002011-08-19T15:03:53.524+01:00George is quite the handsome fellow, and Zan does ...George is quite the handsome fellow, and Zan does a lovely job in his role as the midget pony Ginger.
