When Al Capony arrived at Marta Soscia’s childhood barn a decade ago, it took a true paint lover to look beyond the 13.2-hand pony’s scraggly appearance, awkward conformation and “the longest mane you’ve ever seen” to appreciate the farm’s new arrival. Soscia, then a teen, helped develop the kill-pen rescue into a trusty kids’ pony. Years later, she discovered that "Caponi" had gone on to shape the riding journeys of other young Pony Clubbers.
