ChasingCans04 - 2014-09-18 10:52 AM Now you have to tell the hotel story! How in the world…??
I worked in Del Mar CA by the race track... the Hilton had a convention going on whose theme was "Where The Turf Meets The Surf". They called the tack store I worked for and asked if anyone had a horse quiet enough to ride through the hotel during the convention to the bugler doing the call to the post. I volunteered Duncan. He was just shy of 5 when we did this. Dim lights, 140 people clapping, and music playing and he navigated his way through the ball room. We had a couple of practice sessions in the empty ball room first, so I got to ride him through. The twist was having to walk up 8 concrete stairs into the back hallway with the slick linoleum flooring. He didn't take one false step and I'm happy to say, it was a success!
How Cool! And a wonderful, well minded young stud!
But did he POOP in the hotel? 
I had a pony growing up that got to cameo in the high school musical when they did "Oklahoma". She pulled the "little red surry with the fringe on top" during that scene. We had to bring her in the school well before the play started to avoid the noise. I think there were 6 or 7 performances, plus a few rehearsals, and she was in the building for a couple of hours or more each time. Every time the director went by her in the hallway he'd say "Poop Penny, POOP!" LOL, he said he wanted it as "real" as possible!
I can't remember which night, but one night she fell asleep and we missed our cue to leave because my brother couldn't get her to go and had to get out and go wake her up! |

Location: Wonderful Wyoming | Here is mine. I'll even post his name since it isn't adertising as he has since passed. VF Burrs Eye. We bought him out of race training as a 2yr old and had him 12 very blessed years.
Here is one with him and a son of Rare From we used to own. He was injured at 5 so most of his pics are just random pasture ones.
