• In 1907 The Farmer's Wife magazine invited children to join a club to compete for prizes, by selling subscriptions to their magazine. The Grand Prize was a Shetland pony with a saddle or carriage. To satisfy skeptics who doubted a child would, indeed, receive a pony, they asked the winners to send a letter with a photo of themselves with their ponies.
