My Pony!
This is my big man - Papa! He is an 8 year old Thoroughbred that I got 4 years ago off the racetrack. While he wasn't very good at running fast, he found new favorite hobbies including eating peppermints, licorice and any food/treat that may pass his way; as well as loving to jump!

I've been rather remiss in ever bringing in any treats and I think this would be a fun thing to do, especially since the end of the fiscal year is coming (September 30! ARGH!) and we're all a little stressed out.
