We recently caught up with Caroline of Rose Mount Farm in Fredericksburg, Virginia and her mom Monica with an update on Midnight's progress since his purchase:
"We decided to invest in a large pony and spent a lot of time trying to find a safe, reliable and talented pony for our daughter Caroline. As a former equestrian competitor and now mom, I know the perils of getting the wrong pony and we were skeptical when we heard phrases such as, "the pony does everything", "can do the rated shows", "packer pony", "safe and reliable for children", "no spook", etc. We then contacted Kathy Stover of Stover Creek Farm about her pony Midnight Hour. After speaking with Kathy and consulting with our trainer, Ann Garnett of Rosemount Farm, we agreed to pick up Midnight on a trial basis of 30 days. Within two weeks we knew this was the pony for our daughter! He has terrific, safe ground manners, a sweet temperament (he follows our daughter everywhere), jumps courses without hesitation or spook and a big stride with enough scope to handle the rated competitions down the road. He was everything Kathy said and more. We absolutely love Midnight and he has given our daughter the confidence to advance into the Short Stirrup division. At his first horse show, he easily won Grand Champion in the pleasure division with our daughter! Thank you Kathy, for your honesty, patience and integrity. We feel so blessed to have found Midnight Hour for our family. We will keep you up to date on our progress!" - Monica Patton
