One trick pony gone

    The lady comes back to see us with weird stuff just about every day.  She has that lumpy brown thing and stuff she spritzes at us -- on our bellies and chests and ears.  She puts the strap thing on our heads and then she makes us go back and forth or sideways.  Fortunately, there are lots of carrots involved, so almost everyone wants to get in on the fun.  She had to fix the gate that Siena knocked down so that we can go in the circle of logs by ourselves and not be bothered by Harley.  He is the one who mostly barges in on everyone else's carrot time. She has been sitting on top of us too, either with the lumpy thing or without, and then she brought out a strap thing with metal parts and she put it in some of the ponies' mouths!  Gypsy had to take it in her mouth a couple of times and then when she didn't care any more, the lady sat on her back and Gypsy walked around.  Today she put the metal thing in my mouth too.  It was really weird and I didn't like it at all.  But then the lady told me that if I want to be fashionable, I have to wear it in my mouth.  She said the little girls who ride ponies usually want ponies who have metal things in their mouths.  I can hardly believe that, but what can I say?  I am a slave to fashion and if the metal thing makes me glamorous, I certainly can't let any of those other ponies go around being more entrancing than me. It is hard to eat carrots with it in my mouth tho, so I am not sure that I like that part at all.  It is tough to be a diva.
     The lady says that she is going to need a new trick pony now that the hunk Fusion left with the lady with the pretty hair.   I do not think I am going to get that trick pony job. Just about all of us ponies know  how to give kisses and a few other tricks, but Harley and Krissy know the most tricks.  They are the pushiest ponies and they work the hardest at doing them.  Krissy is really short, so her options  are limited as far as riding goes, she would have to give rides to little bitty kids and Krissy isn't really receptive to that idea. So her other jobs could be pulling a pony cart or the trick gig.  She has already mastered a fun Lipizzaner levade trick that almost makes her look tall.  The lady is probably afraid to teach Harley that trick since he almost took her knee off after he learned the "shake hands" trick and kept offering his hoof every time he saw her.  It would be intimidating to see his hooves at eye level every time she turned around.
   So we will see what fun and carrots tomorrow brings.
