Us ponies are so excited about the rain. It rains every day! The ground is soft and squishy and we don't even have to go over to the creek to find water to drink, because it is everywhere! When we lie down, we can cover ourselves in mud in no time at all and then when the mud dries, it rains again so we can start all over. And the Glorious grass! We have lots and lots of nice grass. In one part of our new pasture there are other plants growing that we don't like to eat and we have to look really hard for any grass at all. The lady says she is going to come down here with the orange machine and make those other plants short so the nice grass can grow, but she doesn't want to drive the orange machine in the water. But it is okay, because there is still nice grass in other places. And when it is sunny, we can stand in shady spots in the woods where the noisy man was making trees fall over. This is a good new pasture. The lady is still going around sticking wooden posts in the ground in the area where we used to eat grass. Now that we can't get to our pond any more, she has put up funny fence and I think those four horses that live in our old field are going to be going out there. They can keep that pond with those stupid geese. We have a much bigger and better place now!
The biggest problem is that the we don't get to see the lady very often and we NEVER get to go to the White Hill, so there is a severe carrot deficit in our diets. Plus she has been taking my rivals for the most glamorous pony spot -- that Peaches and that Fiesta -- into the barn and the White Hill. They are getting MY carrots. Peaches doesn't have to do hardly anything except put a halter on (and she wasn't even doing that!) and Fiesta just had to walk around by the lady on the end of a rope. Well, actually she had the brown lumpy thing on her back too, but is pretty easy stuff for any pony to do. The lady has also been playing with Belle and her Mom, Krissy. That Krissy thinks she is very clever and tries to do all kinds of tricks. She puts her knee on the ground to bow, but she is so short, her knee is almost already on the ground anyway.
So maybe today the lady will come down here with carrots and let us do fun things too. If not, I guess we will be stuck eating this nice grass and socializing with the wild deer and their babies. It is a tough life for a pony.
