At Riverdale Farm you can measure yourself in hands - like a horse. It turns out that in our groups of boys, we had a 9 hander, a 10 hander (Seb) and an 11 hander. Sophie was a 7 1/2. So they are all still ponies but growing ones.
The desert boots Seb is wearing fit in May but rubbed his toes all Friday afternoon-long (and it was long on my ears). So he is a size 10 now. You can see his new brown shoes in other photos of this weekend; he refers to them as horse shoes.
Being measured is an important moment for children. Look at how serious my two are! Looks like I will have ponies - and not horses - for some time to come.
