This made my night.  I got an email from Meredith’s aunt.  She has a pretty little girl named Sasha who has come to the barn and ridden ponies.  I took her around on a leadline on Patti the last time she was out. 

“My daughter Sasha (age 5.5 yrs old) has been pretending sometimes that she is you and that she is riding Cookie.  That’s when she isn’t pretending that she is herself riding Peppermint Patty.  Just thought you might like to know you’re a role model!”

Just sweet.

Let’s hope that Sasha is pretending to sit-trot better than I pretend to in real life.
