Notice in this one of the ponies and dogs how I caught Ziva with her rear end in the air since she and TTuffee had been running around the outside of the pen while ponies ran inside the pen.

Equines

 Letting the ponies change pens so they can play.

Trading Places

 

 I try to trade pens with the ponies and my QH mare, Nita, frequently to help with the boredom for my equine friends. So Traveler and Stormy, the ponies went into Nita's pen and Nita went into the pony pen yesterday. We have a large pile of dirt in Nita's pen that we are gradually using to fill in low spots and places where the dirt is down to hardpan, that is like cement. The ponies were fasinated by that big pile of dirt.
    Nita first watched the neigbors dogs that she usually sees from farther away, and then she discovered that if she pushed on the fence enough she could just reach the big clump of purple asters that were growing outside the fence. So to save the fence hubby put her into the smaller pen that has the pony shelters in it. It was still someplace different for her to be while ponies played in her pen.

It Was A Dark, and Dirty Day

It was a dark, and dirty day but the ponies wanted to play, so even thou they were dirty from rolling in the mud, (it had rained a few drops the night before) I took some photos.

Ponies

My two ponies, Stormy and Traveler.

Stormy sticking his head through the gate begging for treats.

My border collie, Tuffee going round and around the pony, Stormy. It is Tuffee's version of herding.

Pony Play

Both ponies playing together and talking to one of the other horses, Star.
