A Queensland boy who tirelessly sold lemonade for two-years so he could own his own pony has finally had his dream realised.

When Sebastian Lucas ran outside to his family’s barn in Scarborough, north of Brisbane on Tuesday, he broke down in tears when he saw Tom Boy, a Welsh mountain pony.

Since the age of five all Sebastian has wanted is a horse. Determined seize his dream, the youngster began making and selling a lemonade for 20 cents a bottle outside his family’s farm.

After two-years of saving every dollar from his sales, including his birthday, Christmas and money from the Tooth Fairy, Sebastian managed to amass $3000.

Without their son’s knowledge, Sebastian’s parents had Tom delivered to their property and hid in the barn.

The seven-year-old’s mother, Juliana, filmed her son’s first encounter with his new pet.

The youngster burst into tears of joy and clutched his Dad after seeing the white pony.

“What do you think?” his Mum asked.

“It’s awesome,” the youngster responded.
