Lexington, Ky.—Aug. 8

If you find yourself on the shorter side of the equine spectrum, it’s officially the most wonderful time of the year. The Kentucky Horse Park is entirely over run with these short-statured quadrupeds competing for all the glory and honor of the 2018 USEF Pony Finals. There will be ribbons; there will be tears of joy; there will be chicken nuggets and free ice cream.

You can check back with the Chronicle to keep up on all the competitive action, but we like to kick off the week with a fun collection of competitor names that caught our eye. Because ponies just get the cutest names, don’t they?
