Attending the 2012 Pa Horse World Expo with my pal Minnow the Painting Pony was a new experience for both of us.
And for anyone who stopped by our booth – you may have thought I did a lot of this….
…and this.
But, in reality it was exhausting being the front man for Minnow – and drawing in the crowds.
This cute mug isn’t just for looking pretty – it’s for creating a crowd.
Although, my pal Minnow seems to be pretty good at that too. 🙂
My Monday post is a tad later today than normal, because I’ve been busy helping Mom unpack from the Horse Expo.
Honestly, I’m surprised there was even room for me in the car this trip, because apparently ponies don’t know how to pack light.
I promise to have a full recap of my Expo experience just as soon as I can dig myself out of the car! And if you just can’t wait any longer, you can check out my Facebook page for some photos from my exciting trip.
P.S. I’m slightly worried I may have left my favorite bone under the bed in the hotel – so keep your paws crossed that it turns up somewhere!
As my facebook fans know, I’m back from my amazing trip to the Equine Extravaganza to compete in the talent contest with my pony pal, Chincoteague Minnow.
And guess what!!?? I came back as the winner! Well ok, Minnow & I are the winners!
Mom was kinda nervous for the performance, but Minnow & I knew exactly what we were doing. Just check it out for yourself:
We were up against some stiff competition….
But I think it was my adorableness that won the judges over. I also threw in a few extra moves of my own to really wow them too…..Like digging a REALLY REALLY big hole. I mean did you hear all the laughs I got? I have to admit I’m kinda bitter that the crowd clapped the loudest for Minnow & he won the super hero trophy…..I guess I can give him that one though, since it WAS a HORSE EXPO.
Not only did I win glory in the contest, but I also won the opportunity to have a private training session with Movie Star Animal Trainer, Doug Sloan. I can see myself now in a kibble commercial, or maybe the next marvel super hero movie! I mean after all the 2008 talent contest winner, Amazing Grace, became a movie star after she won! So hey, it could happen to me right?
But, even if I don’t become a super star, my mom said she’ll always be proud of me, and I don’t need a fancy movie role to be special.
And you know, my mom’s right. Because I perform to make people smile and laugh, and because it’s fun! (not to mention the chicken and cheese mom gives me is to die for!)
So maybe someday you will see me on the big screen, but if not, I’ll be just as happy to continue to make my fans smile.
P.S. I have lots more photos to share from my adventuresome weekend….so check back tomorrow….you can also head over to the Trick Ponies Blog to see more videos from my travels.
