He’s a super talented painting pony who also happens to be one of my bestest friends (I know him!).
And it’s because of my bestest pal Minnow that I get to go to super cool events like the Brandywine Point to Point Races and watch horses race through terrain and over fences at lightning speed. Super cool right?
But, do you know what else is cool? Super Heroes. And this little Super Hero loves to work the crowd at super cool events where horses race through terrain and over fences at lightning speed.
I mingle with the ladies.
And draw in the crowd with my sleek look and awesome cape.
I even get the laughs when I bust out my stunt helmet for my death-defying tricks.
And just when they think theres no more, I bust out the big guns and amaze everyone with my big finale “bang” trick. It’s a tough job, but someones got to do it.
On Monday I decided to take a break from every day life and head to the beach with some of my pony pals. We took a two hour ride down to Cape Henlopen in Delaware for a little romp by the seaside.
My pal Boomerang was so excited to get to the sand that he couldn’t even make it all the way to the beach before he excitedly began to roll around in it. He certainly knows how to have a good time, doesn’t he?
Boomerang and Blitz (the two pinto’s in the front) have the ocean in their blood – their parents (just like my pal Minnow) were born wild on Assateague Island in Virginia. They seem to feel right at home on the beach.
I may not have the ocean in my blood, but I was extremely excited about my trip to the beach.
This is my super excited crazy run that I do when I can hardly contain my excitement.
My ponies had a super excited crazy run too!
In fact it was so exciting that “Super Ammo” made an appearance!
“Super Ammo” really enjoyed protecting the beach from intruders – but wind & super capes don’t always mix.
The wind threatened to pick me up and blow me away!
Good thing my mom and the ponies saved me though – or I may have drifted out to sea.
Eventually I decided wind or not, I wasn’t going to let it spoil my trip to the Beach.
The “leash law” kept me from venturing too far out to sea, which is a shame because I had my inner tube packed in the car for just this occasion! Inner tube or not though, I had the best time at the beach with my friends and I’m counting the days until we can go back again.
Any other sea loving dogs out there? Or know of any other good dog beaches I could visit? I’m thinking I should take some surf lessons next time too! Yay!
The family farm is such a wonderful place, not only is it home to my magical Painting Pony friends, but it also home to the barn kitties, Spider & Cricket. One of the things that is so great about all my furry friends on the farm – everyone loves each other. I love the ponies & the kitties, the kitties love the ponies & me, and the ponies love everyone too! It’s one big happy family.
In Pennsylvania we’re having an early Spring this year. Even though today is the official first day of Spring, in the weeks leading up we’ve been having glorious 70 degree weather.
I’m all about this warm weather, which is why yesterday I decided to take a trip with my ponies to Marsh Creek State Park.
Blitz and Boomerang went for a little dip in the lake while I got to do some exploring.
Did you know that it smells like fish at the lake? I don’t know about you, but I LOVE fish.
Even though I really wanted to do some fishing, the water was a bit chilly for me.
I didn’t catch any fish this time, but I did find a stick. Highlight of my day!
I also found this neat rock.
And then I got really brave, and actually took a dip in the lake!
Next time I plan to bring a raft so I can float out just as far as the ponies can! And Boomerang promised me he’d learn how to use a fishing pole. I’m so excited!
Anyone else having an early Spring this year? Have you been on any Spring adventures yet? I’m already compiling my list of Summer activities that I want to do this year! Yipee!
It’s Spring on the farm, which means two things – 1. I don’t have to wear my coats! 2. The ponies are shedding! This may not sound very exciting to you, but when you don’t have to wear a coat – the Spring air puts a little wiggle in your wag. And when you have a little wiggle in your wag you find seemingly boring items (like shedded out pony hair) super fun. Just see for yourself…
The farrier had been to the farm and left behind a hoof trimming – which is a real delicacy for us dogs!
As you can see my friend Boomerang thought it was quite comical that I was chewing on a piece of horse hoof – I’m sure he was thinking “if you only knew where that’s been”. But Boomerang, you forget, I know where you’ve stepped – and I like the taste of horse manure too! hehe.
Guess what! I won’t be having to build any Super Forts in my basement anytime soon….because I’m traveling along with Painting Pony, Minnow, for our big trip to the PA Horse World Expo in Harrisburg, PA.
I’ve been helping mom pack the horse trailer all week – with what seems like the entire contents of Minnow’s bedroom. How many bags of cardboard bedding does he really need anyway?
I’m pretty sure we have everything for our trip….
…and perhaps a few stowaways too! (wouldn’t be the first time).
You can visit me at the Pa Horse World Expo Thursday – Sunday at booth #607 & 608 and also keep up with all of my adventures during the event on my Facebook page. Visit the blog next week to hear about all the fun I had!
Lately the burn pile on the farm has been getting bigger and bigger.
Mom says it’s in preparation for Trooper’s new house on the farm, and knocking down some trees is necessary to make room.
I’m not sure when the detonation of the burn pile will take place, but I figure one can never be too careful when it comes to fire safety. So I’ve been practicing what to do when the pile goes up in flames.
