An Ode to Pony

From the author of the acclaimed best seller, Fifty Shades of Bay, and such inspirational posts as I Have a Love/Hate Relationship With Horse Movies, comes a poetry debut of such depth and beauty, you may literally cry in your seat.

An Equestrian Life presents:

An Ode to  Smart-Ass Little Pony

Oh Pony,

My Pony,

You have returned from training,

Thank goodness, for you are rather entertaining,

Pony is not amused.

Fresh from your working vacation,

I gaze upon you with admiration.

With a delicate face, and serene beauty,

The warmblood in you gives you a big booty.

It’s okay, I do too. Family curse, even to adopted members.

You long to be wild and free,

Since I can’t clip you, you have a goatee.

You make attempts to avoid capture,

Now I don’t try in the pasture.

"Release me from my gilded cage!"

“Release me from my gilded cage!”

I lure you in with food,

It takes you a moment to realize you are screwed.

You may think you are doomed,

But you do enjoy being groomed.

He requires treat payment for these types of activities.

We go out for some exercise,

Lunging around clockwise.

You know how to trot,

It’s not a battle that needs to be fought.

You move with such grace,

Around in circles of haste.

Even though you pretend to be a grump,

You actually enjoyed that jump!

My de-blur supplement hasn’t come in yet.

While sun glints off your gorgeous bay coat,

You’re daydreaming of that goat.

That’s not the ghost of him by that tree,

Although your trainer is now so sick of him, we could probably get him free.

upsetpony

You pretend you’re in fear

Out splash your pony tears.

But I’m not buying it anymore,

I will literally knock your ass to the floor.

You know how to behave,

Now you just need to be brave.

In the end, you really are a good boy,

Even if your size makes you little more than a toy.

That’ll do Pony. That’ll do.

      Thank you! I’m thinking of doing poetry readings next.

      Really, this was a thinly veiled effort to showcase his jumping, so thanks for noticing!!

      Now I’m not so sure I want it! Pony might have been right in being wary of them!

Fashion has been inspired by equestrians for a long time, and likely a long time to come. It's a classic, beautiful look. It's form and function. It's sport and elegance. We equestrians like it, and it's nice that others appreciate it too, even if the fashion interpretation isn't always practical.

Next time you have a dirty ride, remember that even at your messiest, you're a fashion icon. You just happen to get up close and personal with dirt.

FINALLY got some mounted photos on my boy! I can't believe it took this long, but I'm happy it finally happened. Stu loved just standing here, it was his favorite part of the whole ride. He's a good stander, and I'm a good sitter, I'm  wearing my amazing @syncequestrian breeches so I'm basically glued to him.

Thank you @nataliaornatascha you're so good at this!!

There's nothing like a summer day with horses. You may end up dirty and sweaty, but you'll never be so happy.

Well, after you disappear for a while, reappearing in Iceland is pretty cool. Good thing I now have the travel bug because I still need to ride an Icelandic horse there. But just seeing it was still pretty incredible!
