Lucky

This is Max's pony. 

His name is Lucky.
He's a simple pony.

He loves to have his coat brushed beneath the old oak tree.

(These are lyrics from the song Lucky sings when you press his ear.)

These two met on Christmas morning.
Max has been a very responsible pony owner.
He hasn't rushed the relationship. 

He always approaches him from the front.

Then pets his face. 

Then Max will move around to the side and brush Lucky.

Sometimes, with a little support, Max will ride Lucky.

But only for a second or two.
