It was sunny and almost 55F outside today for the last day of rifle deer season. (There are other deer seasons but this is the one where you are most likely to be randomly shot.) Snap pony did the last little bits of her Riding Readiness work in the (crowded) driveway while Liss was milking the cow and feeding the blind ladies, Theron was putting hay in the field with the tractor, and random young fellers were standing around in bright orange and pretending to get organized for hunting.

It's deer season. There are deer hunters. So, I've been doing work in the yard (close to the house and barn) in order to avoid deer hunters. Bird and Genie need outings that are bigger than the yard, so Snap is up for work. She doesn't need big outings just yet. We're still at "meet the bridle" and "intro to ground driving" and stuff. I can do all of that shit in the driveway while remaining safe from random gunfire.

ExpandI mentioned that Snap was for Bubba's daughter Chuck )

So there are two project ponies. Genie (Pon-Pon) and Snap. They are tiny. Genie is about 13.1 hh and Snap is probably 12.3 hh. (These are rough heights with a stick on dirt while ponies were greedily eating their grain. They are both air-ferns, thrifty as fuck, and have no need whatsoever for an actual can of grain. They get "grain" to entice them to come out the field for work, split between "before work" grain and "after work" grain because for greedy ponies, having grain TWICE is better than having grain ONCE even if it's the same total amount but served in two halves to make two "grain" events. Since it's a quarter can total per pony, that's like four greedy pony mouthfuls at a go, not a lot of time for the adult in the room to screw around measuring the pony.)

ExpandYes, please, tell me about the ponies! )
