Pony, being a full grown 5 year old pony, needs to get out and see the world. I can show him the world.... you know, if I feel like. But in this case, D'Arcy will show him the world. She started by riding him last weekend. So, to give you a brief recap of the life of Pony, I bought him[...]
Now the thrilling conclusion of the TTouch Blog Mini Series. I only have three equines, so I can only do so much with this topic. Today's contestant: Pony Man, a 5-year-old, medium sized pony with a heart filled with arrogance, and cowardliness, in equal measures. He enjoys galloping up to greet[...]
Pony is a coward. The times he's gone off the property he has been fearful, and scared. When he was out at training, his trainer would purposely take him for walks around the barn, where he would spook at the same things he saw everyday in his daily life, the sawdust pile, the hay bales, the dog, de[...]
Berry's birthday was yesterday. She is now 7 years old. Pony was a bit disgruntled, possibly because I completely forgot about his birthday. His birthday was exactly one week ago. He just turned 5. Sorry Pony. I'll do something for you at a later time. Not that he would appreciate it, of c[...]
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[...]
Pony Man is back from training. He was gone for a bit over 90 days, and it flew by. He left as a boy, and has returned a man. Now, he is ready to do great things. He had quite the adventure at his trainer's barn, and he did get to spend a little bit of time saying goodbye to the other horses.[...]
Pony Man was standing quietly at the edge of his stall. He liked to put his hooves on the threshold and stick his head as far over as it could go to watch the aisle. Luckily that obnoxious goat was nowhere nearby, so there were no distractions as he contemplated life. He vaguely remembered a time[...]
I did not expect this, but Dave has found true love in the form of a goat. The goat was super awesome. Apparently it was bottle fed, which makes it super friendly. It acted more like a dog than any goat I've ever been around (granted, I haven't been around many/any). Dave wanted to j[...]
I went to visit Pony again, and he is doing amazing. He's even seemed to recognize me! I gave him lots of scratches and he seemed happy enough to see me, even if I did not have treats. He is now undersaddle, with his former feral life only a distant memory. Trainer Sarah brought him down to t[...]
The least exciting thing to happen over the weekend is that I injured my back somehow. It was almost magical how it happened, I went to sleep feeling fine, and then I woke up a cripple, for no apparent reason. Now I'm hobbling around like an old lady, having to use the furniture, husband and pets[...]
