Horse-A-Rama

Ok, I'm going to try to get on here a little more often than I did last year and try to get back into the swing of blogging like I used to. Went through some tough times last year and when everything is falling apart around you, it's hard to sit down and write stories. - ANYWAY .... some of you may have already seen on our website that we got invited to the upcoming Horse-A-Rama in Manitowac, WI. I'm really nervous because Gato and I are still pretty much 'winging it' when it comes to performing. I've been learning so much these past months but I know I have a Loooooong way to go before I truly understand what I'm doing. It's really good that Gato knows this stuff inside and out so when I freeze up, he usually takes over and gives the crowd their money's worth. I'm not sure what's going to happen in Wisconsin at Manitowac on May 6-8 but we'll be there and we're hoping to see some of our fans in the stands. Do me a favor and if we really blow it, clap anyway so we're not totally embarrased. :o) - Click on http://www.horse-a-rama.org/ to read more about the Horse-A-Rama coming up the first weekend in May in Wisconsin!!

I know, I know .....

I was much better at this when I was writing the Gold Star blog. I just haven't been in the mood to write any stories lately. I sincerely apologize to all the El Gato fans out there. I'm waiting for my writing inspiration to come back to me. In the meantime..... today is the Bristow Days Parade. Gato and I will be riding in the GREEN costume this time. Click on www.spanishdancinghorse.com to see more pictures of the famous El Gato, The Spanish Dancing Horse in all his pretty outfits. We're hoping to attend Dows Corn Days on August 7th at 9:30am and MAYBE if we're energetic enough we may try to do TWO parades in one day and head over to Goldfield for their celebration later that afternoon. Their parade is at 5:30pm. Goldfield is that little town on the other side of Clarion right next to Eagle Grove. Gato and I like little town parades. My leg starts to swell up and hurt if the parade gets too long and he gets tired and sweaty so the smaller the town -- the better. That means Bristow Days today should be PERFECT. That town is only 5 blocks long so even if we ride down every freaking road we'll still be done in 20 minutes. :) Ok ..... I'm signing off now ..... be watching Gato's website for the pics we take today. Can't wait to see what he looks like in action in that green costume!! See you all there!!

Hello Dancing Fans!

Well, I've taken a little break from blogging and had all kinds of people tell me that I need to get back online and start writing again. I've missed writing on my blog. I had become accustomed to having the blog to get out all the hilarious stories I had locked inside my head. I used to write about the show that I was managing and the various adventures I'd have on the farm. Well, I don't run that horse show anymore so I had to take a minute to re-group and decide whether or not I had enough stories to write about just my normal life on the farm.

...and yep, I sure do. Boy, do I have stories. :o) I decided to title this blog "Pink Pony Tales" because most of my stories will probably revolve around my new pony ..... El Gato. Once you hear a couple parade stories, you'll understand how comical our outings are in this family.

So sit back and enjoy and welcome to my new blog -- PINK PONY TALES. :o)
