Oh God no! I want a cute and sweet pony for my daughter someday and when my friend sent me a pic of one of these Iceponies I fell in love with it. Even my goat is just a regular old Alpine. She was a little girls 4H project. I bought her and her brother and sadly they got that goat virus so she gets sick from time to time. I give her VitB injections to keep her healthy. My vet and I think that it part of her problem. She got goat polio once before. Her brother just died from the crippling effects of that goat virus. His kidneys failed. Strange but very sad. I am so glad that my girl goat does not have arthritis like her brother did. I am going keep asking questions and I hope I can find a place where I can see these ponies. I am just kicking tires and having fun learning about these very cute ponies Do you think these ponies can tolerate the Austin heat? jackie
