We always had to have hi-top ponies, white on white with sweat pants making it just above the ankles where your scrunched socks met them.... ewwwww am I aging myself!
Even worse --RockabillyChick said:
I had a horse "club" -- got quite a few kids in it, too -- where we all pretended to be horses and had contests to see who could buck each other off their backs. We ate grass in the schoolyard and whinnied and nickered and cantered all over the place. I even gave out horsey "report cards"
I used skipping ropes and I taught a few kids how to swing a lasso, too, and that got me suspended
Had something to do with demonstrating how to throw a heeler loop at a kid running by, who promptly fell and bloodied her nose.
Didn't even get a chance to throw my two loops and a hooey.
Hey, I was only 9

I loved my Suede Pumas back in the 80's and I still love them now. 
(not the same pair, btw). I'm not kickin' the fat laces this time, however....even though I do have some if I ever change my mind.

Ok girls. This one is for all of you ... How about the jellyz who remembers those. I loved them ugly as heck but they where the crocs of the 80s.
