excitement

So yesterday the lady came and got my mom, Tudi and little brother and took them up to the barn. They had to walk right past our pasture, so we had to all run over and line up along the fence and watch. It was just like a little parade. Usually they are in a pasture where we can see them every day, but there is a corridor between our pastures that is about as wide as if about six ponies were standing nose to tail. Unless the measuring ponies were Krissy, then you would need more ponies, because she is not very big. So it was very exciting to see them walking in the nice grass right next to us. A little while after they went up to the barn, the lady came back down and got Taca and her roany pony filly out of the pasture and led them by us too. So we lined up again to watch them go by. But Taca's filly was all distracted by the nice grass so she didn't walk next to her mom. She stopped and ate grass. So Taca started yelling at her to come along, but the filly just ran all the way back down to the pasture. Wahoo! She had her tail up over her back and she was bouncing all around! So we wanted to get in on the action and we all started galloping back and forth along the fence. Then Taca got more upset and the lady had to take her back to their pasture. But we still ran around and tore up mud. The lady just put Taca and the roany fily back in the pasture and then she got my Mom and little brother and put them back too. So we got to watch them walk by AGAIN! We were all tired from all that excitement.
Today, we were eating nice grass by the pond when the lady showed up with some sticks and branches for us to eat. She doesn't usually bring us stuff to eat when we have grass so we knew they must be special things. Even tho they smelled like the willow trees we have in our fields and we never eat those. They looked just like the branches she planted in the ground a couple of days ago over by the things to jump over and the creek, except they were shorter and some of them had bite marks on them. She brought the sticks over to the pond and we all ran over and started sniffing and biting them. They had those long swooshy little leaves on them. The lady started yelling at us and waving her hands, "No! No! ponies, what do you think you are? Beavers?" she said. She grabbed the sticks and branches and yanked them right out of our mouths. That seemed pretty rude to me. Then she chased us through the gate and into our regular pasture where there isn't any grass at all. I don't know why she brought us those branches if she was going to just take them back away from us. She took the branches over to the pond and planted them in the ground along the water. So now we are stuck here without any grass.
