The ponies have been sweating it up when I have been riding recently. Poe was even lathered up on Tuesday! So I decided while it is still warm I should give them a second clipping.
Nothing fancy.

Stuffed Pony – 2013
October 20, 2013
I will write posts about my last two competitions this week.
Tomorrow I am taking simon to so a Judged Pleasure Ride that is part of the Crystal Crown series. So I’ll have to write about that too.
This week I put some effort into designing a stuffed pony. My first attempt came out ok. And I have altered the pattern some and plan to work on an improved one this week.

First Clip of the Year
October 3, 2013
As a quick recap, the competition, MA4, last weekend was amazing. I’ll post on that later when I get some of the photos sorted. I am also working in rebitting Poe, but will reflect on that later as well.
Today I am commenting on the clip jobs I do last night. Poe is pretty fluffy already. And he has the softest, finest hair, but it’s making him sweat and pretty soon it’s going to be too chilly to host that downy off after a ride.
I wasn’t too sure what to expect from him but he was a pro. He stood nicely ground tied while I gave him a modified hunt clip. I did the lower half of his neck, around and down his chest. It included a diagonal along his side to the very top of his back leg and under his belly.
He looks pretty nice clipped up too. Although I might need to straighten the line at the top I his neck.
Simon was his normal self, which I a bit weird about clippers. He stood and wiggled his skin where ever I was working. So I just did the neck and cheat part of him for now. I’ll eventually reclip him like Poe is when I start trail riding him heavily this winter.

Good bye Linus – 2013
September 22, 2013
Yesterday Linus left for his new home. It was a sad-happy occasion. I will miss him but he went to an excellent home where he can become the pony he is meant to be.
When his new little girl walked up to him I knew it was perfect. He wiggles her hair while he petted him. He is destined to be a kids pony.
Today I saw photos of her riding him around bareback and him having his mane pulled. It made me smile ear to ear.
