Phillip Coffey - Reflections By Phillip Coffey Riding my racking pony up and down the familiar ridges"Cracker Jack" was my ride for probably about five years. Uncle Raymond Coffey and I were at the Edmonton Stockyard. I was with him with plans to buy a pony. Dad showed up unexpectedly and sat beside us. They were selling livestock. Dad pointed at the pony being auctioned and said ,'why don't you buy that one?' I did. Broke him to ride well. One day I was riding him and I thought, "I am going to try to break him to rack". I was successful. I went inside and told my Mom and Dad,'Come and see what I have done'. I rode him up and down the gravel road in front of the house. Best riding pony or horse I have ridden by far in my life. (I have ridden everything from a Jenny to Thoroughbreds). Only time in my life I recall saying to my parents, "Come and see what I have done'. He never tossed me; I just outgrew him - metaphor. Decades later Doug Breeding whom I have known since before 'Cracker Jack' recalled my 'racking pony' with a smile. This story was posted on 2021-05-02 22:59:35
