Thoroughly Poetic Thursday #64

  Two SPOILED CATS,

Angel Sammy and Teddy find such inspiring photos for us


Here is today's inspiration



When I was about six
my younger cousins Mike and Rick
lived in the 'sticks'.
Their mom called us
she said come quick.

My dad announced we're going to see
 Mike and Rick
They have a surprise.
I was excited because I like
surprises.

After furever, we arrived at their house!
Mike and Rick tugged at my door.
Come on we have something to show you.

I saw a tiny critter, out standing in the field behind their house.
As we got closer, I squealed you have a baby horse.
They quickly said NO it is a
Shetland Pony.
They quickly told me how much fun it is to ride.
They asked do you want to give it a try?
My uncle saddled. 
He gave me a boost up on to the pony.
He walked beside me for a while guiding the pony.
All of a sudden that pony turned in to a bronco. 
He ran toward the apple trees 
of me 
he wanted to be 
FREE.

  3. I do NOT like Shetlands. They are stubborn, I'll tempered and can be down-right nasty. But OMG what a doll you are in that photo!!!!


    Sweet dreams are made of this.

  4. I guess eating the apple was more important than pleasing his rider!

    Oh I have had such an experience - but not with a short pony... on an 11 hands stallion! Although experienced at riding, nothing will stop a horse that takes against you. That branch and those nettles were more damaged than I was, thankfully! YAM xx

  6. That was an exciting for your first pony ride to end. We hope you didn't end up on the ground though.

  7. That was an exciting day. Those Shetland ponies may be small but they can be very cantankerous!
