Eventing Nation’s very own Leslie Wylie just traversed 1020 km across the wild Mongolian steppe riding over 20 semi-feral Mongolian ponies, many of which we’d like her to bring home with her (she always seemed to pick the cutest ones!).
The ponies featured in this week’s spotlight are not Mongolian but they are super duper cute (and also trained and domesticated)!

She has competed in two horse trials and one CT, several small open shows, and recently attended a week long 4-H camp with a 12 year old girl.
