Super Hero Beach Day

On Monday I decided to take a break from every day life and head to the beach with some of my pony pals. We took a two hour ride down to Cape Henlopen in Delaware for a little romp by the seaside.

My pal Boomerang was so excited to get to the sand that he couldn’t even make it all the way to the beach before he excitedly began to roll around in it. He certainly knows how to have a good time, doesn’t he?

Boomerang and Blitz (the two pinto’s in the front) have the ocean in their blood – their parents (just like my pal Minnow) were born wild on Assateague Island in Virginia. They seem to feel right at home on the beach.

I may not have the ocean in my blood, but I was extremely excited about my trip to the beach.

This is my super excited crazy run that I do when I can hardly contain my excitement.

My ponies had a super excited crazy run too!

In fact it was so exciting that “Super Ammo” made an appearance!

“Super Ammo” really enjoyed protecting the beach from intruders – but wind & super capes don’t always mix.

The wind threatened to pick me up and blow me away!

Good thing my mom and the ponies saved me though – or I may have drifted out to sea.

Eventually I decided wind or not, I wasn’t going to let it spoil my trip to the Beach.

The “leash law” kept me from venturing too far out to sea, which is a shame because I had my inner tube packed in the car for just this occasion! Inner tube or not though, I had the best time at the beach with my friends and I’m counting the days until we can go back again.

Any other sea loving dogs out there? Or know of any other good dog beaches I could visit? I’m thinking I should take some surf lessons next time too! Yay! 

 

Hay is for Horses

During the winter months, the ponies require hay – since there isn’t really any grass for them to eat.

I’m all for giving my ponies what they want…..but they sure do eat a lot.

Just look how much hay I had to throw down from the loft the other day!

But, when I see Boomerang’s smiling face…..

…and Blitz’s happy little nose….

…it makes my job as hay thrower-downer all worth while!

It’s a Sign

Over the weekend I had a lot of adventures. I have adventures pretty much everyday – but the weekends are reserved for FARM ADVENTURES!

Nothing better that spending a nice fall weekend out on the farm.

This weekend I took a trip down the driveway (I know way big deal!) to check out the new farm sign.

Normally I don’t venture too far past the barn, and I know I’m not allowed on the road by myself. But this was a special occasion and mom said I could come. My mom said that dad designed the farm sign – and that we named the farm Iron Horse Farm on account of the old train tracks that run through part of the property.

The sign was pretty cool I guess, but I was more interested in hanging out with my pony pals in the pasture. And maybe sneaking a few bites of horse poop…..shhh….don’t tell.

Hey Boomerang! Don't ya want to come play with me?

Blitz is interested in playing a game of fetch I think!

Ok or maybe he'd rather take a nap! He can barely keep his eyes open!

Well, lucky for me I’ll be back to visit my pony friends tomorrow! Perhaps they will feel more like playing then!
