Do you have a wonderful pony, or have you fixed a problem and made your pony happy? You could win an Irish Horsemanship rosette! If you win, your pony's story will be put up on this website so everyone can see how wonderful they are. All rosettes are free if you have had a lesson with Elaine this year.
