The Painted Pony!

So I was with my buddy the other day and we tried to chalk our hair. You wet the hair a little and use just regular pastel soft chalk and rub it on your hair and voila! Super temporary fun colored hair that washes out with just one wash! But sadly... we totally failed and it didn't work at all. So the great idea surfaced....Gypsy has white hair. It should work in hers. And so it did, oh yes it did. So purple dipped hair for my pony! Hahahahaha Everytime I looked at her it was so funny and cute. And no worries people. Non toxic, washable chalk. Totally harmless. This would work great for parades and stuff! So now we want to chalk both our horses with red and green for Christmas and go caroling with them! We could put little santa hats on them and jingle bells on their tack! :D  So here's my pretty purple pony.

And here Gypsy is being friends with Jett- My friend's gelding. He is about 4 or 5 years old now, and now boards at my house, so Gypsy has a buddy now. She is so much happier now! Jett has lived that past few years out in a pasture fairly untouched, so he is settling into living the stable life. He is finally able to be turned out all day on pasture with Gypsy now. Yay.

Here is a full body of Jett. My friend and I always joke that he is not the prettiest thing in the world, conformation-wise. But hes not so terrible either :) He's pretty cute. He isn't broke, but that is the goal for while Jett is boarded at my barn. We will use the arena to good use! Speaking of which....

 Here he is while we worked with him the other day! This is only the second time ever being sat on. The first time was probably over a year ago, and not worked at all after. So its practically his first time saddled and sat on. He was excellent! We lunged with saddle, flapped and pulled on saddle, stood in stirrups, the whole she-bang. He was a champ. So I sat on him and my buddy led us around and he was great. Success :)
More training for him on the way! I rather enjoy risking my life  by being the first rider on horses. Haha
