Plush Pony

Good news! My friend, Plush Pony, came back today! He stopped by to say hello and to meet Missy. I was so excited to see him again. The last time I saw Plushy I was about the same size as he was, that was almost two years ago. Wow, time flies! As soon as I saw Plushy I ran to him, nickering in excitement. I quickly said my hello before I started grooming him. I love the fact that Plushy doesn't bite,  kick, or talk back but I really wish he would groom me when I groom him! Missy wasn't a fan of Plushy. She found his quiet nature and listless ways rude and unnatural. I think it makes him perfect.

Top left is a picture of me hugging Plushy, then next to that picture is Missy, Plushy, and Avalon. As you can see Missy is a little apprehensive about meeting Plushy. But look how beautiful my future wife is! Look how different she looks clipped too. I bet you didn't recognize her! We have official pictures coming soon. The photo to the left is me grooming Plushy. Like I said, he doesn't like to groom back. Below is a picture from the first time I met Plushy. You can see how little and adorable I was! Now I'm well.. Still little but no longer adorable, I'm dashingly handsome! Plushy didn't really groom me back then either. 

I do have some unfortunate news, however.  The Parada Del Sol, or as Mom says, Parade of the Sun, has been canceled from my tour stops. Sorry if you were looking forward to seeing me, Missy, Cody, and Avalon in the parade! As much as I enjoy doing parades this one just came too quickly this year and none of us are prepared. We also are faced with a hauling situation with the addition of Missy and Avalon's brand new buggy. So instead of a stressful day of cheering crowds fans we will all be enjoying a relaxing day hiking in the mountains. We are planning to make up for it with another couple parades through out the year, however, so keep checking that 'Tour Dates' page.

Recently Mom bought Avalon a new harness for driving. Now that they have a classy buggy mom wanted a traditional black harness to match. I over heard Mom talking to Amanda about showing Avalon in driving, another reason for the new harness. But AMHA has this rule or something where driving horses have to wear this thing they call a "bit". Mom drives Avalon with out one but she's going to train him with one so they can show, but at home they don't have to use the "bit" all the time. I didn't know what a "bit" was until it was used on Avalon. Its cold metal in your mouth! The only thing that belongs in a horse's mouth is food! Metal?! Gross! Yuck! I don't blame Avalon for the way he feels and the face he's making to the photo! Mom says bits aren't bad if they're used properly, in fact they can help a horse with carrying themselves and having finesse they might otherwise not have. Well I don't care about that! They're still gross to me and always will be, I never want one of those in MY mouth!

In a week we have the Show Circuit horse show, Missy and I will be there. Hope to see you there too. Until next time, I'm out!
