Lil Red, owned by Jackie Lemon of Happy Hollow Miniature Horses in Texas, brought in $3,300 during an auction at the Cause For The Paws Benefit Concert for the Human Society of East Texas.
Jackie chose to donate Lil Red because he was small, good-natured and already had experience at shows and visiting local nursing homes. “When he was only four-months-old he walked in a local parade, so I thought he was the kind of horse that would do well no matter where he went,” Jackie said. “I knew Red would hopefully bring in a good donation, like maybe $1,200. I never dreamed he would bring in $3,300. The only thing that brought more, according to our local newspaper, was Blake Shelton’s guitar which brought in $4,000.”
Gina Rebich, of Lake Palestine, Texas, bought Lil Red in the Cause For The Paws auction, and promptly gave him to one of the youth that Jackie works with. “What an exciting ride this has been,” Jackie said.

The
Modern Shetland Pony is elegance in motion. This pony combines the historic hardiness
of the Classic Shetland Pony with an outcross of an animated and superiorly refined
breed. This cross-produced a long shapely neck and fine boned sophisticated pony
with extreme action and a spirited personality that lends itself well to the show
ring. Like all Shetlands, Moderns are not to exceed 46" and they come in
any color. 
A
well-trained Modern Shetland makes an agile, quick thinking mount for a child
and can be used for everything from gymkhana ponies to hunter/jumpers. A good
headset, superb carriage and high action most often define a great Modern Shetland
performance pony. This is an elegant animal with all the pomp and sophistication
of a carriage horse and the hardiness of a pony.
the
fun and fast thinking of an event horse or the elegance they bring to a carriage
ride down the lane.
