The Spiteri Family

"Merry Christmas-open your heart-don't be a dead beat"

"In this world our governments do more to hurt us than help. In helping one person at a time in groups such as this can change the world slowly but in a definate manner."

"Some people use ponies as "Seeing eye dogs" so to speak. A small pony is hardly livestock - it's a family pet. Great Danes can be that big (well, maybe not quite) and they're allowed. Some people have quite the haul of cats in their house, or various othe"

"As the coordinator for a therapeutic riding facility, I witness the benefits of therapeutic riding on a daily basis."

"think of the child over your "inconvenience" of a bad smell."

"The pony is a therapeutic tool and a pet that contributes to the well being of the child at stake. As long as the pony has boundary fences and shelter and they remove manure the Spiteri family should be allowed an amendment on their property variance."

"Show the spirit of giving, and let this little boy keep his pony!"

"Let me know when you give them their money back too."

"For a community that is known for being an equin community this is a the worst thing I have ever heard."

"I think it would be terrible to take the pony away from this boy.I own horses and I know how much they can help people out. Also could you tell me why your neighbor has such a problem with the pony now after 3 years."

"The miniature horse & is great for therapuetic work there is one at Comminuty Assoication for the Riding for the Disabled. They are being trained as seeing eye horses as they live for 30years plus while a dog only 11 years."

"Can the Doctor prescribe the pony?"

"for the health and well being of a child the use of a mini horse is accepetable in town as they are smaller then some of my dogs."
