I still remember the stick pony I had as a child! I remember the shiny coating over his black and white spots, and the glossy black reins - all atop a wooden stick akin to a broomstick!  I would run around with the wind in my hair, as if I were really riding that pony!  Tonight, I am painting this nostalgic scene with all those wonderful memories in mind.  Santa has brought ashiny new pony to set by the Christmas tree!  This painting makes 1425 in 1425 days :)
