Adventures at Ludwigs

Adventures at Ludwigs // Ammo the Dachshund

Over the Labor Day Weekend me and my best pony pal Minnow, the Painting Pony, attended the Ludwigs Corner Horse Show.

Our goal, to make as many people smile as we could!

My pal Minnow is pretty good at helping us draw a crowd, I mean just look at his super model pose!

And when he starts to paint everyone can’t help but to be captivated!

Myself included, as I love watching Minnow create his special works of art.

Minnow painted several works of art throughout the day which should be available on his website very soon.

Finally it was my turn to perform, and I showed off some of my expert hoop jumping skills.

I even made it through the flaming hoop of death…..unharmed!

I also shared a few of my circus stunts like rolling my barrel….

….and playing dead!

And for my final heroic stunt, I dove head first though a solid hoop (don’t worry, I wore my helmet for safety!)

After our first performance of the day a nasty thunderstorm rolled through. Minnow went to wait out the storm on the horse trailer while I hunkered down in our tent.

Eventually the sun came back out for just long enough for Minnow to create a few more paintings, even if the crowds had died down pretty drastically!

By the end of the day I was pretty beat! But I’m pretty sure Minnow and I accomplished our goal to make everyone smile! Ammo the Dachshund

In my house I’m treated just like any other member of the family, and my mom and dad care for me just like they would any human child (with the exception that I have to do my business outside….what’s up with that?).

So when my new friends over at My Happy Park offered to send me one of their dog birth certificates I thought to myself….I should have had one of these a long time ago!

As a lover of the arts (I do work in a frame shop after all), I decided it was high time I added to my own personal art collection. So I enlisted the help of my mom and came up with this fun and EASY DIY DOG ART tutorial!

Easy DIY Spray Painted Dog Art // Ammo the Dachshund

Supplies:

  • Bristol Paper
  • Painters Tape
  • Spray paint (in any colors you may like)
  • Dog shape – I used the drop out from one of my Dachshund Photo Mats, but you can also create your own dog shape by cutting it out of bristol paper or using the free one I have HERE)

Step 1: Using the painters tape cover a 1/2″ border around your bristol paper

Painting with famous Ponies

Posted on by

Painting Pony // Ammo the Dachshund

This is my very special pony friend, Minnow. You’ve probably already met him before, but incase you didn’t know, Minnow is a world-famous artist! His paintings have sold all over the world and help to raise money for animal rescue groups.

Over the weekend I got to hang with my pony friend and watch him create some of his masterpieces.

Painting Pony // Ammo the Dachshund

But famous artists can’t do it alone, there’s always a clean-up crew hiding behind the scenes.

Painting Pony // Ammo the Dachshund

It’s a tough job, but someone has to do it!

Of course even assistants sometimes get a painted nose or two!
