Pile o' Ponies!

Got some cash for my birthday and Christmas, mainly from my mate's Mom. Usually I buy books or music with it, but this year I warned her I was going to buy plush toys. She knows we have a huge number of them in the house already, since she visits for a weekend now and then. She just smiled and said "OK".


Today we had a chance to go shopping and stopped at Toys R Us. I wanted a really big cuddly horsey. They had them, even some with wings. That would have been my first choice, hooves down, except they were only pink or lavender. So I settled for this big paint with a circus saddle. He's really huggy. I also got a couple of small sized ones to give away, and just couldn't leave behind the dark bay in the middle foreground. The others, including the small paint pegasus sitting on the saddle and the Clydesdale on the right, have been around for a while, but none were large enough to really cuddle.

Christmas 2005: I decided to enlarge my herd of ponies. New members include the largest in the background, the small paint facing the camera, and the bay who is nuzzling the paint here.




My mate won't let me bring horses into the house, so...

I'm not sure our flooring is suitable for a full sized horse, alas. Mate has a point there. Letting a horse fall through the floor would not be a good idea.

She is about 400lbs. The floor is quite stable under her

Ours are in the 1100-1200 lb. range. Even my piano wasn't that heavy. :)

Ive got a filly who is going to be in that range who tries to come in. I dont think I could support the floor that much

Ignore the blinding baldness.. This was taken on a day I was late going to feed and she came in and woke me from my nap on the couch to remind me: http://www.horseherd.org/housepony.jpg

Note to self: when buying my next home make sure to ask the Realtor if the floors will support the weight of a horse... Im sure they will know.

hehehe

You may have to tell them that you have a concert grand piano that walks around and occasionally likes to roll on the carpet to scratch its back. :p
