Worth of a good pony = priceless
This sequence was preceded by 10 minutes of heated discussion and strategizing, which concluded with the eldest declaring that he was seven and knew what would work best. It also ended with the parents and other grown-ups discovering the 3 kids all aboard and quietly but swiftly removing them without spooking the horse. Note that the entire time, the pony's bridle is just hanging from the horn of the saddle. (Best viewed in large format or as a slide show.)
