Silly Pony Trick For December 22

Well that snot 'company', Cinder, hogged the computer keyboard on the weekend so I did not get to come address you, my fans, and for that I appologize. With all this snow, the human has been too busy to bring the computer out to the barn so I can use it... she seems to think hauling water to me is more important... I say it is EQUALLY important and she needs to prioritize her priorities and make a list of them!

So, because the snow is now about one foot deep here, I came up with a delightful new game last night while Human and her male human were hauling water to our tank... When one of your humans bends over to get a good grip on the very heavy container of water so they can drag it up to the tank, wait until the small of their neck shows in their coat and take a big bite of snow then drop it on the back of their necks...

You will LOVE the squeal of "ACKKKKK that is COLD... ELLLLLLLLE!!!" and you can then high step trot off with your tail over your back and snorting all the way, hehehehehe....

It's CINDER Time!

Hi, I'm Cinder and I'm staying with the BlackFyre Silly Ponies for awhile, but instead of being an Arabian, I am a Quarter Horse and instead of being owned by the SP's human, I have a different human of my own (but SP's human is kind of like my own human since she performs room service and maid services for me).

I used to live in Montana with my sister Justine and then we got on a horse trailer and made a long trip here. Justine stayed with me for almost a year at this place then she got on a horse trailer again and went to the same place that Emmerson went. They are both practicing having a human balance on their back, Dancer said it's called letting a human ride you.

Anyway, I just wanted to let you all know that Dancer and Elle want to hang out in their stalls during all this cold wind and snow but I keep going out to roll in it and FINALLY got Elle to play snow tag with me today! I don't know why they're being such babies about this cold, I LOVE it. Their human says I'm a funny monkey, I told her I am not a monkey, I am a Quarter Horse!

I'm glad there's all this snow, I like it alot better then that wet stuff called rain!

Snow Day, NO SCHOOL!

I think I have decided I LOVE Snow! Why? Well because besides my normal day off of balancing humans on my back on Wednesday, I got a day off today too what the human kids call a snow day and no school.

Yup, Trainer told me it is just too cold and too nasty to work too hard and she told me Human should not be out driving on slippery roads for an hour in one direction, so no one made me practice balancing them on my back!

BUT Trainer did turn me loose in the arena to trot around and roll in the dirt, it felt so NICE to play and stretch my legs but the BEST part was rolling in the dirt of the arena, I LOVE dirt.

I wonder if we are going to have more really cold days with snow? I hope so, it's nice to have a vacation and time to just 'hang' out and be a Dude!

Snow, Snow and MORE Snow....

It has come, the snow Human kept telling us about. More then 8 inches but with the winds kicking in, my stall filled up to 3 feet of snow!!!!

Human got home tonight and had a lot of fun with her snow shovel getting all that snow OUT of my stall and then she shut my outside door and now I'm mad because I can't hang out with my daughter.

Because the snow is drifting into the barn she has locked myself, Elle and even Cinder (our visiting Quarter Horse Friend) into our stalls because she said if she doesn't close the outside doors all the stalls will be full of snow.

I do have to admit I like the full relief from the winds and cold snow blowing on my neck but I'd rather be able to hang out with my daughter Elle and come and go in our stalls as we wish.

I wonder how long the snow is here for. When I lived in Canada it would stay for a very long time but since I moved here it doesn't snow a lot or seem to last for very long.

The good thing about this is we get extra alfalfa cubes, yummy.

I'm bored so I guess I'll come on line for a while.

It's been cold every day for almost a week now and Human told us we need to stay bundled up because it is supposed to stay cold AND snow.

Now normally I actually like the snow and as long as the wind stays calm, snow is OK, you can roll in it and make horsey angels, you can run and practice sliding stops in it and you can put it on your nose and walk up to Human and put the snow on their necks, it's funny to watch them jump.

OK now I am EXCITED about the big snow storm coming our way!

Braids are for Sissy's!

WOW this is pretty cool, there is SNOW outside! Trainer won't let me outside to play in it, she said it's not really safe because the path is icy, bummer as I LOVE a good roll in the snow!

Human came down yesterday and we practiced balancing on my back for a bit, then she spent some time just letting me hang out and giving me a braided mane... Man, does she think I'm a GIRL? Braids are NOT for dudes, sigh... She said she wants my mane to grow longer... well, again, HELLO???? I am a DUDE...

I had planned on rubbing them out but Human had one more embarrassment in mind for me, she made me wear a blue sleazy on my head and neck... I am the ONLY Arabian on my side of the barn, well OK there is one other but he's retired and doesn't have to be a fru fru horse, anyway, now ALL the Quarter Horses are going to laugh at me.

I think Human does this stuff on purpose JUST to cause me a life of shame. Braids are for Sissy's and Sleazy's are for Filly's, SNORT!
