Parade Ponies

[GypsyMoonMinis]

Hello everyone! Im rather new here, though I've been a lurker for some time. My mom (rubyviewminis) asked me to share my photos of my girls and the horses for this years city parade. The theme was clowning around, so we dressed them all up. It wasn't until later that they reminded me of My Little Ponies with the shapes painted on thier hindquarters. A week after this parade was the county fair, which both of my girls compete in. I was worried the poster paint we used wouldn't come off, but it did with out an issue (it was crayola non toxic, washable finger paint). IN addition to that, the little grey paint gelding was new at our house, my parents had just driven him to me from Nevada (im in montana) a week before! I had no idea how he would react, but I didn't want to leave him home alone either. He sported the hat like a champ and never batted an eye. The parade was pretty wild, with the usual sirens and Al Bedo shriners, but there was also much pre-parade chaos with a car accident and wild horses all over. Great fun though and the horses were the stoic little gems they are known to be. Here they are!

HHH Surprise Supereyes, better known as Prize, 2 yr old grey? pinto gelding

My youngest and her horse Mariner's Flicka, 20 yr old silver bay mare

My oldest and her horse Designers Touch Shez Spunky Too, yearling sorrel? pinto

The jury is still out on what color exactly Prize and Spunky are... but thats another thread

I must add that Horsehug bred and sold the blue eyed gelding Prize. He is so smart and loves tricks, so my daughter is teaching them all jumps and tricks, besides working fulltime 7 days a week, going to school, raising 3 children, and coming up with projects for the 4-H kids with the minis. I couldn't believe how cute and precious she and the girls decorated the horses for the parade. But then she is also an artist in her spare minutes! She always had a knack for grooming for show and costuming (is that a word?) horses.

Parades are so much fun! You did a super job getting your little minis all clowned up for the parade. I bet they were a crowd pleaser and got lots of attention.
