Photographed on Bartlett Street at 24th Street in San Francisco’s Mission District back in the mid-70s, I have always been puzzled by this image. What was going on? I was walking from the 24th St. Mission BART station and passed by these kids and their pony. I asked no questions, so I got no answers. Was there a birthday party? Was the pony being invited into the car? How would you keep a pony in a San Francisco residential neighborhood?
