Polo pony?

I am such a talented and brilliant horse. I tried my hand at being a polo pony when the soccer ball was trapped in the corner of the arena. Things would be much easier if the arena had no corners, but alas we have corners. Corners make things interesting-one never knows what might lurk in corners and as the royal personage at the ranch it is my duty to protect others from the corner menaces.

I am having a lovely time playing with the peasants.

GOOOOOOOOAAAAAALLLLL

I am really liking playing soccer, it is almost as much fun as chasing cows. I don't like working the ball out of corners though, it doesn't cooperate when I tell it to leave....

I did get to trot circles around an impertanent horse, he had to learn to respect my royal self. He was a bit defiant at first but he soon realized that he must pay me homage.

We had a grand soccer game on Sunday and I am looking forward to the next game.

A beautiful butterfly

Oh why does the SPS feel the need to ask me to wear silly costumes? Why do I patiently indulge her?

Well she does give me extra special treats for tolerating her silliness. Today it was licorice treats. Yes it is true...I am push-over for treats. I also like to see the SPS smile and have fun.

Costumes

The SPS seems to think that I would make a beautiful butterfly for Halloween-I think not! She plans on trying the wings on me this weekend...wonderful.

I will agree to be a hippie and that is it. Wings are not my thing, have Shandi or He of the Spotty Butt wear wings. I deserve ermine and other royal adornments and the hippie costume is as close as I can get to those.

Smooches

He of the Spotty Butt is always trying to smooch me! It is especially irritating when I am ponying him. He tries to smooch my rear, tries to smooch my neck, and has the effrontery to trot up too far and try to smooch my face. I give him the royal "pinny ears" and growl and him-he quickly retreats. The other day he did not try to sneak any smooches so as a reward I turned my head and smooched his nose, he was quite surprised.

Visitors

My former owner came to visit today. Once again I was delighted to carry my princess for a ride. We had a grand time together. She had treats for me and after our ride she took me to the deep grass in the yard and let me graze. It was a lovely morning. I look forward her next visit.
