Cold Pony


Not really......Henry (the NinjaPony) has like four inches of fur this year. I love it when his fur starts to grow in, its so soft and luxurious. By the time its all grown in, it goes in several directions, making hin difficult to brush to say the least.
This year, for the really cold nights, NPM has made a new barn stall just for Henry, he acts like he doesn't like to be fussed over, but he really hasn't complained. he is his own animal, has his own likes and dislikes, is fiercely loyal to his friends and has no problem defending the two mares in our herd, even though they're more than twice his size. You see, Henry, (the NinjaPony) has a full sized heart, which is what we noticed right off. He was terribly mistreated by someone so that he wouldn't trust humans. We have had him with us for six years or so and he very slowly and very surely has opened up to us.....not that you would notice, of course, as he is a NinjaPony!

  2. Tried to reply to you earlier in the week, KB, but the post was lost somewhere. thanks for your comment, life has changed around here, work is all in a different direction, play is the same!
    All of our animals are loving the snow, as a matter of fact, that pony put on the most amazing show for us the other evening, running, jumping, bucking and feinting around the trees.....all by himself....he's the most incredible animal mixed in a bunch of incredible animals.
    BTW your wildlife sightings and tracking knowledge is very exciting. Good work, I like how you see..
