A few weeks after I birthed the twins, my Pony came back from lease. The trainer said he was the world’s best pony and he was wonderful, but she wasn’t getting enough business to justify keeping him. That’s fine, I took him right back. When he got back, I was surprised to find him more […]
A Pony’s Life
After spending most of last year as a lesson pony, Pony has returned to me. My understanding was that he was the world’s best pony at his lesson barn. I’m not sure of the exact details though. I really should have asked though. If there’s one thing I love, it’s hearing how great my pony […]
Back to Work – Pony Gets a Job
Another big update on the farm: Pony Man has a job! I am thrilled that he will finally be doing something, but the sad part is that it isn’t with me. I leased him to a lesson/training barn, and he’s going to be a lesson pony. It was hard to let him go, but he […]
All About Pony Man
Since I almost never talk seriously about Pony Man, you’d be forgiven for expecting that he’s just a random pony I picked up on the side of the road. Well, that’s only half true! He’s a random pony I picked up next to a breeder’s farm on the side of the road! But in all […]
Shot from the Top
My deck overlooks my pasture, and I’ve been wanting to experiment with getting overhead photos of the horses. One day the horses were hanging out by the deck so I seized my chance. While I didn’t get exactly what I was looking for, I love their reactions. Pony took the opportunity to show Stu that […]
The Ode to Pony Man
Poor poor Ponyman, who seems to get hardly any attention from anyone. He’s not as desperately needy as Stu, and finds him annoying, so he just keeps to himself away from the herd. When I give him attention, he soaks it up like a plant taking in the sunlight. He’s a good boy, my original […]
Weanling Walk
Over the weekend we did Weanling Walk 2: The Reckoning. Weanling Walk 1 is here. Weanling Walk 2 ended up being much better! Who would have thought a sequel would have been better than the original?! This time, I stuck a camera similar to a GoPro on my head and recorded the whole thing. The […]
The Herd
This long weekend was a fun weekend of visitors! And I popped up on Eventing Nation! I have officially peaked, it’s time to retire. Shelby came back up, and naturally, she had to see the little babies. I think she was a hit with them. Stubert and Shelby doing the official muzzle bump greeting. […]
The Great Pony Escape
Check it out, you guys! I made a YouTube video! This is the first time that I filmed footage specifically to create a YouTube video, and I’m not too unhappy with the results! It’s footage from when I went riding a few weeks ago, and my sly little Pony got out when I was putting […]
New Trainer, New Adventures
This last weekend was as action packed as any horse-obsessed person could want. It had all the excitement of a lesson, baby horses, moving hay, and a horse show! I need an extra day off to recover from this madness. Today’s topics – Lesson and hay. I was half-heartedly looking at new trainers. I say […]
