No leaping!

So us ponies have been getting a lot of good carrot time in the big box and the White Hill.  Almost all us ponies walked into the box after we checked it our, except for that Tux.  He is really suspicious.  He didn't want to even put his toes on the ramp. He didn't get nearly as many carrots as the rest of us.  You know, that little bossy dog goes zipping by us all the time to run back to our pond and then she jumps into the water and makes a lot of noise and sticks her head in holes.  When she comes out, she is so muddy, we are thinking of making her an honorary pony.  The geese don't like it too much, but we wish those stupid geese would go away anyway.  There are like a hundred of them and we have feathers everywhere.
   Those big dogs have not been back to bite my dad Bob and his mares, but his face got sore again and had  red blood dripping from it.  The lady puts stuff on it to keep the flies off.  The lady was trimming Taca's hooves in their shed and she asked Taca why none of the other ponies were in the shed.  She could tell there were a lot of flies around because there was a lot of buzzing, but the ponies were standing outside the shed and even Taca wanted to leave to be with the others.  Then the lady looked up and saw a round gray nest as big as Taca's head on the wall right next to them.  There were yellow buzzing bugs flying in and out alot!  So she decided to finish Taca's feet outside the shed.  And then she went down later and put white stuff on the round thing and the bugs fell out and stopped buzzing.  So now Bob and the mares go back in the shed.
   This morning the lady took Harley to the White Hill and sat on his back.  She didn't have a saddle or bridle, she just had carrots, so when Harley went the right way he got a carrot.  Harley is overly enthusiastic about carrots. He has been ridden a lot and is a good jumper, but he never played this game before.  He really wanted the carrots and he didn't think he was getting them fast enough.  It is frustrating to have to wait for the lady to ask you to do stuff and then figure out what she wants before you get a carrot.  So Harley was pretty revved up about the carrot/riding game.  So he started leaping into the air.  He was thinking he was one of those Lipizzaners.  The lady didn't like the leaping.  She told him she didn't ask for leaping, so he didn't get any carrots for that.   I will be next and I will get a lot of carrots!
