A little white pony.

And then I would need a beautiful palomino to keep it company.

So many ponies. I’d have to go for a spirited chestnut Arab mare named Shantih (IYKYK) 😁

An elephant. For years I wanted an elephant and as I couldn't have one, I didn't want anything else.

Still not much room for an elephant in my flat

Greybluewhite · 09/11/2023 06:27

Pony!

I was obsessed, worked at a stables every night after school and every weekend. Saved every penny for lessons.

I did get horses as an adult, competed to
a high level and all that I dreamed about but it wasn’t as amazing as it was as a child.

user1497787065 · 09/11/2023 06:29

I would have said the chocolate vending machine too.

Pinkpinkpink15 · 09/11/2023 06:31

A horse.

closest I got was riding once a week.

as an adult I only wanted one if I could keep it at home (in a paddock not the sitting room 😂) and that never happened, now I don't have the energy required)

CandyLeBonBon · 09/11/2023 06:32
