During the winter months, the ponies require hay – since there isn’t really any grass for them to eat.
I’m all for giving my ponies what they want…..but they sure do eat a lot.
Just look how much hay I had to throw down from the loft the other day!
But, when I see Boomerang’s smiling face…..
…and Blitz’s happy little nose….
…it makes my job as hay thrower-downer all worth while!
My Painting Pony friends recently got a new horse trailer.
Can you believe it? All three of them can fit inside there. I was almost a little jealous.
But then I remembered I get to ride up front. In the air conditioning. Yeah, not so jealous anymore.
I don’t know what to think. Every time I come to the farm it seems like Boomerang is loosing more and more hair. Honestly, I’m a little scared I might be next!
Hang in there pal. I really hope it all grows back!
My mom is getting ready to go on a trip……without me! (Someone hold me) And what makes it even worse is that Boomerang gets to go and I don’t!
I have hatched a scheme to hideout in her suitcase, so we’ll see how that goes.
See, Boomerang and mom have been accepted to compete in the Extreme Cowboy Race at the Horse World Expo in Harrisburg, PA February 24 – 27th. I don’t really understand it because mom doesn’t even own a cowboy hat! Which reminds me, maybe if I get a cowboy hat and boots mom will let me come along.
Mom says she wishes very much I could come along, but apparently the Expo doesn’t allow dogs. Stupid if you ask me. What’s a cowboy without his best dog? Seriously.
So until my mom abandons me, I’ve been helping her get Boomerang ready for the big event.
Not trying to brag, but I pretty much taught Boomerang how to be an awesome cowboy cowhorse bronco or whatever he’s supposed to be. After toting him around all over the county for the past Month and a half, I think he’s finally ready.
Just check out this video of Boomerang Practicing last weekend:
So I guess I’ll just have to hang with dad next week while mom’s gone. Boomerang better bring me back a trophy or something after all the hard work I put into training him…..or I’m gonna be peeved!
Also, mom, I expect presents upon your return. Thank you.

I’m all for helping train the trick ponies, I really am. But sometimes, sometimes, you just have to steal the show.
