I sure live the life! I got a room inside the barn. It is okay. . .it's pretty spacious for me, but nothing can be better than all the space outside. But, I got a good spot. I see all the comings and goings in the whole barn! I can say hi to my friends, look out my window, and watch all the action. It is very entertaining.

The biggest perk about living inside. . .I get to go outside, on grass! I met a new horse friend, Ollie. And Ryleigh, who lives right next to me, is also outside with me! I think he is a little jealous of Ollie, he tries to chase him off, ears back and everything, but Ollie set him straight. Today, I split my time between Ryleigh and Ollie. Hey, a girl's gotta show some love to all of her admirers!

Notch and Clutch are on the grass on one side of me. . .

And Mocha, Dante, and Lexi are on the other side of me. . .

I am surrounded by horses! I love it! And they love me! I am quite the pretty princess at the barn.
We got another new horse at the barn, too. So much excitement going on lately. Kathy, who gives me massages (Allie, I think I am due for another. . .feeling kinda stiff, hint hint) got a new horse! Meet Melvin, the Appaloosa! What a good looking boy. . .I am going to have to get to know him better.
Allie has been making me do lots of work lately. Ugh, am I out of shape! Allie has us zigzagging all over the arena, it is quite hilarious. I am just going where she tells me to go, kinda. . .it's fun to mess with her. She put a new bit on my bridle today (thanks Jaime!). It worked much better, it was rubber and softer.

Allie tries to steer me from behind with these long lines, but I pretty much know where I want to go. When we walk along the wall, I know we are going to turn at the corner. Is it my fault that I like to get the turn out of the way and do it before I am told? If it was up to Allie, I think she'd have me running into the wall!
Yeah. . .I can say that I am a lucky pony! Good friends, good people, and good food! All the important things in life.

It sounds like you have the life! Well.... maybe not as nice as our life - our Mrs. Owner doesn't make us work as much! She's wishing she had a nice arena like you have. Then she'd make us go around and around and around. Pheww.... glad she doesn't have one!
ReplyDeleteThe arena is nice, except sometimes it gets a little busy, like yesterday.
ReplyDeletePippin and Doc, you need to do some work to get muscles so you can impress all the Haffie mares that are headed your way!
