Ponies, Dogs, and Movie Stars, Oh My!

Posted on August 29, 2012 by Ammo

You might remember that back in July the Painting Ponies and I began filming for the a brand new Painting Pony DVD. And while my Uncle Taylor still has lots of editing to do before we can release our big Trick Performances DVD, I just couldn’t wait any longer to share our new Intro Video for the website.

I know you are all on the edge of your seats in anticipation, so without dragging it out any longer, here it is in all it’s glory….

And to answer your question, yes, I did most of my scenes in the nude. You’re welcome. *wink*

You can check out all the wonderful artwork that the ponies and I created on the Painting Pony Website.

Until our new DVD is available for purchase, you can also check out The Trick Ponies of Chincoteague DVD which has my happy little face on it too.

And if you’re looking for some video work make sure you check out Envision Event Media and Depthink Productions!

Quiet Days on the Farm

Posted on August 7, 2012 by Ammo

Life on my family horse farm can be quite peaceful. I enjoy spending a lot of my time around the ponies – just quietly soaking in all the sounds and smells of the farm.

Yes – it CAN BE quite peaceful. But other days, there are groundhogs to hunt!

On these days, peaceful and quiet is not an option, as I’m sure you understand!

Custom Pet Paintings – Ponies and Dogs Oh My!

Posted on August 1, 2012 by Ammo

You might remember a couple of months ago when I introduced my little Super Hero on the Wall – a commissioned painting of yours truly by Kim at Yellow Brick Home.

Well, as it turns out, my Painting Pony pals were a wee bit jealous – so never ones to be left out, mom ordered some custom paintings of them too.

Minnow rocked the blue canvas as he reared high into the air – such a classic Minnow pose.

Blitz and Boomerang, the inseparable brothers (who couldn’t even be separated for the painting), looked extra cute on their lime green canvas. Boomerang even flashed his famous smile.

I don’t know about you, but I think we make one big happy family!

I do have a secret to tell you though…….as much as I love ALL of the paintings…..I do have a favorite……can you guess which one it is?

You can get your own custom pet paintings from Kim @ Yellow Brick Home (make sure you tell her the cutest Super Hero EVER sent you!)

*I was not paid or perk’d to write this post – I’m just super super excited to share the ponies’ paintings!

All Natural Chincoteague Island Pet Treats to Howl For

Posted on July 30, 2012 by Ammo

It’s official, my mom is back from her trip to Chincoteague Island, Virginia with my pal Minnow the Painting Pony! Mom and Minnow travel to the island once a year for the annual Chincoteague Pony Penning Week. During the last week in July the wild ponies of Assateague are rounded up, swum over to Chincoteague, and then many of the new foals are auctioned off to keep the wild herd at a manageable number.

While the swim and auction are exciting (or so I hear since I’ve never been), Minnow is there to Paint and Perform every evening at the Chincoteague Pony Centre . I hear he draws quite a crowd.

Sadly the town of Chincoteague is quite pony friendly – but not quite as dog friendly. Dogs aren’t allowed in any of the hotels, and not even in the only park on the island. So each year I spend the week at home with my dad, counting the days until mom returns.

Even though the island doesn’t welcome us pooches with open arms there is one thing I thoroughly enjoy about mom visiting the island without me…..her trip to the dog and pony bakery called Howl Naturale.

Mom brought me home two natural dog cookies this time, one in the shape of a pony and the other looked like a lucky horse shoe.

These tasty treats maybe, just maybe, make up for the fact that mom left me home all week.

You can fetch your own tasty treats from Howl Naturale online HERE. Also make sure you check out all the neat photos my mom took from the Chincoteague Pony Swim and Auction HERE, they make me feel like I was there with them!
