Pony Work Out
August 2, 2016
Click this to see Simon and Poe working out on video
I took this little video over the winter when the ponies were in the yard.
I have often mentioned how they both get in a lot of exercise time on their own. They both gallop around quite a bit. Sometimes I’ll see them running around multiple times a day for 5, 10 or even 15 minutes at a time.

Val and Krista
July 30, 2016
Back at the end of May I went and helped Val do pony rides at Mayfest. It was a fun and very hot day. To cap it off we went down to the canal and went for a nice hack out and cool off.

Ponies on a dry lot.
June 14, 2016.
I put up a dry lot last week. Its in an old dried out pond bed. Not exactly the best spot but it’s working for when I need them up off the grass fields.

Packing was put on hold…
August 12, 2015
We are flying out of Baltimore today on our England-Wales trip. Yea! After work yesterday I ran around town taking care of last minute things. You know, like a vet appointment to update the dogs shots. (Why did I think the day before I leave town was a good day to set that appointment?) Picking up socks. (How is it that I do not have enough pairs of socks to make it through a week? And that does not include any that match.)
I got home and got the packing under way. Feeling good about my progress I decided I had time to get a short ride in on both ponies. I had not been able to get in a ride the past few days and the ponies we’re excited for attention. I tacked up Poe first and headed out for a leisurely hack around the farm. About ten minutes in Daisy came racing across a hay field to catch up. As she got closer I noticed she was running funny, ducking her head to the ground, dragging her face… Uh oh.
When she got closer I could smell her. Skunked.
I cut my ride off and headed back to the house and quickly put Poe up. I got out my dog-de-skunk kit. It consists of a bucket loaded with a bottle of dawn dish soap, a bottle of peroxide and a large box of baking soda. *Just add water and a stinky dog* So I did.
Sadly it appears Daisy was sprayed in and on her mouth. She has skunk breath. The face is so hard to wash. She is tolerant and well mannered so I got my scrub on and finished up with just enough time to feed ponies before dark.
She dried out and the one spot is still a little rough. So this morning she is getting another scrubbing. And my hands too. They also smell like skunk.
Ok, ready, steady, go!!!!
A snap chat story recap…
