Product Description

Children everywhere have always loved ponies. Those lucky enough to grow up with horses invariably recall them as the keepers of their happiest childhood memories. But for most, a brief ride on a rented pony was the closest they would ever get to a horse of their own. A PONY IN THE PICTURE is an endearing collection of antique and vintage photographs of children posing proudly with ponies and horses, often taken by itinerant photographers who traveled the countryside, suburbs, and cities. Each image captures a moment in time when it seems that all it took for a child to attain sheer joy was the patient presence of a shaggy Shetland pony and a borrowed cowboy hat.

From the Publisher

* A sweetly evocative collection of 120 photographic portraits of children and ponies, spanning 1880 to 1990. * Chronicles the use of ponies as "props" in children's portraiture, and documents the development of photography and the popularity of keepsake photos over more than a century. * All the photographs were taken in the United States and Canada, with striking exceptions from Burma, Buenos Aires, and Great Britain. * A perfect gift for horse lovers and vintage photography collectors.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Christmas shopping is DONE!, May 19, 2008
By Steve2 in LA (Los Angeles) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Pony in the Picture: Vintage Portraits of Children and Ponies (Hardcover)
You've just GOT to love this book!

As evidenced by these truly, exceptional photographs, "A Pony in the Picture" has been assembled with a keen eye for nuance and an affectionate yet historical sensibility, I can't imagine a child or adult who wouldn't cherish this wonderful collection of rare, vintage pictures, featuring kids and ponies.

MY Christmas shopping is now, officially DONE! I'm buying a copy for every horse and animal lover I know and suggest you do the same.

Ms. Randall, take a bow.

4.0 out of 5 stars What a fun book!, October 18, 2007
By James Anderson (Santa Monica, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: A Pony in the Picture: Vintage Portraits of Children and Ponies (Hardcover)
This is a very clever and compelling subject for a photography book. Taking a common experience many children have, that is sitting on or riding a pony, this collection of photographs of those moments is tremendous fun, and beautifully done.

Is there anyone who hasn't asked for a pony for Christmas? Some actually got them and had their pictures taken with their prize ponies. Read more
