Good morning friends!

Happy Saturday 🥳.

We have had such warm weather this week it's giving me spring fever! I can't wait to shed this heavy winter coat and feel the sun and breeze on my skin. My human says I have to wait a little longer because it's not quite time yet. In fact, tomorrow is supposed to be in the 30s for a high and we are dropping back into the 20s for the overnight lows. That means we gotta wear our blankets again. Hopefully there won't be too many of these days left between me and spring ✨️🪻☀️.

We have one more week until the time changes and then the sun won't set until 7! Right now we have sunlight until after 6pm and it's just glorious ✨️ 🙌. I hope YOU are enjoying longer days and warmer weather too. We made it! The winter is almost behind us!

Love, Po

Good morning friends!

Happy Friday 😊 🥳. For us ponies, weekends are just more days in the week, but I know the weekend is important to humans! It's time to wind down from the work week and relax. 😌

I'm here to remind you that we are all a work in a progress. There is always time to reflect, to learn, to change and to do better! I once thought it was as good as it could get and then I came here and things just keep getting more awesome!

We can always be more kind, more helpful and more empathetic. We can always learn and change and grow and become better. We can make a difference together ❤️. Come be a work in progress with me 🥰 and we can get better, together!

Love, Po

Good morning friends!

The weather was beautiful 😍 yesterday and that meant Maggie and I could switch spots with the pony boys! I love being able to cruise the back paddock and say hi to the sheep 🐑 next door. I also like the different view I get back here and all the different smells.

My humans recieved a donation to transform the paddock back here and make a space for me and Maggie! 🥳They said it will help me socialize more and be safer as we will be in the main barnyard cluster. This area is nicer year round with natural shade and shelter from the trees. Our current round pen turnout has shade, but no trees nearby so sometimes it's not the ideal space...especially during summer pop up storms!

They are picking up the fencing and hope to have the new area done by the end of March! I've never had something built just for me 🥰. Well, I'll share with Maggie too 🤭.

Looking like some rain showers and maybe a thunderstorm today before the temps fall again on Sunday 😭. I'm ready for spring 🪻! How about you?

Love, Po

Good morning friends!

It's another beautiful day here and I'm so thankful for more sunshine and warmth. I may look like just a little pony in a big world, but you all make me feel larger than life!

Good morning friends!

I am pictured here wirh Sophia, who lives up in the mare barn. Rest assured we are not actually put together! It's just the magic of photo editing ✨️ 😉.

I cam her to ask if you know what Sophia and I have in common? No? Well...its actually our base color! But Po, you gasp. She's so dark and your such an devastatingly handsome blondish pony God. I know, I know, but bear with me!

Sophia is a bay horse. So was Mia! That means she is a reddish brown coat with black mane and tail hairs as well as a black hairs on her point points like her legs and even on the tips of her ears and nose.

Well. I'm a silver bay! That means I am actually a bay horse, like Sophia, but I have the silver gene which changes my black hair to this silvery blonde color! When I get clipped and cleaned in the summer, you can see the dark at the end of my nose and some darker areas at my points. My legs have some black at the knee, just where my white stockings stop. The gene also makes my base bay color look more like a chestnut horse, which is more orange red.🙂

My silver dilution is pretty rare, but we all know what a wonderful, mysterious, rare gem I am 💎 💜.

Happy Monday!

Love, Po

Good morning friends!

The sun is shining again today and it's warm enough for suns out, buns out! After a week of below freezing temps, clouds and gloom, we are all happy for some sunshine 🌞. Did you know the sun this time of year is similar to the angle and strength of the sun in October!? The days are getting longer and the sun is getting stronger 💪.

Just feeling my cute and shaggy self! Come on early spring! 🪻 I'm waiting for you!

Love, Po

Good morning friends!

Did you know that the sun in February is a strong as the sun in October? That's why, even with the wind and the cold temperatures, I'm still feeling warm! It feels great to have the sun 🌞 shining down on me for longer each day. That means we are inching closer to spring!

As a pony, my body typically responds to the angle of the sun and the length of the days. Right now, all of us are starting to shed our long winter coats as our short summer coats begin to come in. Because of my cushings, I won't shed 100% normally, and I'll still need to be clipped, but I AM shedding!

You just wait until my summer bod is ready 🌞 🩲 🌊 😘.

Happy Weekend!

Love, Po

Hello friends!

Sorry for the lateness of my post, but I was robbed this morning! Robbed I say!

Oh, my humans will tell you I had already eaten my grain and Abby was just wandering around cleaning up Bruce's mess, but she still licked my feed bucket! The audacity!

This is why I like her as as neighbor, with a wall between us, but I don't like to go outside with her. She's violating my personal space!

I'm gonna need some time to emotionally recover.

Love, Po
🍉🥔🌈🦄💜🎉🌈🥔🍉

From the humans: Po stop ✋️ being so dramatic! She literally licked the bowl. She didn't even bother you 🤭.

Good morning friends!

We didn't really get any of the snow they thought we were going to get and I'm here to say, it's just as I predicted 😉. It's cloudy ☁️ and cold 🥶 but my arctic fluff is in full effect keeping me toasty!

If you got snow ❄️, let me know where you are and how much in the comments!

Love, Po

Happy Hump Day 🐫 friends!

If the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell, then hay is the powerhouse of the pony 🤭. Bet you didn't know I have a phD (Pony Horse Doctorate) in science amongst other subjects. 🤓🩺🔬

I'm just here to spread the knowledge 😉.

Love, Po

Happy Tuesday friends!

Im so happy that the 20+ inches of snow ❄️ originally forecasted for the next 2 days has become little to no snow! I was getting worried that my prognostication skills were getting a little rusty as I predicted an early spring 🤭🪻.

I should learn from the meteorologists out there and become wildly inclusive with my forecasts or purposely vague! Yes! I'll do that. There is always room for growth and improvement ✨️ 🙌.

In true Po-tato fashion, here I am, enjoying some sunshine 🌞 and airing out my fluff! Yep, feels like spring to me 👍😉.

Love, Po

Good morning friends,

They say a picture speaks a thousand words. Well, I've got quite a few choices words for this weather. Can you guess what I'm thinking 🤔?

Good morning friends!

I hope you had a wonderful Valentine's Day! In a recent poll of my devoted followers, friends and visitors, I determined that I have a 100% satisfaction rating in making people happy! 😉

When asked, "What makes you happy?" 💯 % of people polled answered....ME!

That's right...I'm your favorite 😍!

I promise I don't take this honor lightly and I will continue to serve you the best I can in order to remain your favorite ✨️ 💛.

Love, Po

Good morning friends!

I thought I'd share a photo of me in the Tuesday afternoon snow! You can see actual snow on my blanket and that means my body is preserving and holding heat in appropriately. Some people get upset when they see snow on blankets and backs of animals, but that is a GOOD thing because it means the heat is staying near our skin and not escaping to melt the snow.

Us horses and ponies are better equipped at dealing with the cold than we are with the heat. Being outside in the snow doesn't bother me a bit, except when I have to dig around for my hay if it gets covered. We all know I like my meals conveniently placed for my consumption 🤭.

Its rainy and foggy this morning, but I hear the sun is coming out later! I hope you have a great day! Valentines Day is tomorrow 💝🎉. I'll he your Valentine 🥰.

Love, Po

Good morning friends!

My human posted a Live video 📹 awhile ago so check it out! It snowed 🌨 again but the temps today feel warmer and I'm an itchy wooly beast of a pony so I am happy to be out without a blanket in all of my glorious fluff!

My humans said that being upset with the snow won't make it any more pleasant so we are all gonna enjoy this new snow day! 🥳 I'm on a mission to make the most of every day 💕.

I believe we got about 4 inches here. But I'm a pony and I am not good with measurements 🤔. How is the weather where you are!?

Love, Po

February snow day!

11/02/2025

Good morning friends!

Who needs a groundhog when you have a wild, wolly beast like me!? 👍 I got to spend some time in the sunshine and breezes yesterday in preparation for some snow ❄️ coming through today.

Did you know that 4 years ago I FINALLY stabilized and began the real journey to my best life. I was out of the critical zone as my triglycerides had finally come down to normal and my cushings was beginning to be well managed. Add the hard work 💪 of my farrier to help my feet and I was feeling like a million bucks 💵!

I hope everyone is staying safe and although some snow is coming through, I'm holding to my prediction of early spring 🪻. We need it!

Love, Po

Good morning friends 🧡! It's Halloween! This is a time of year I've come to love! I get to hang out with an impressive amount of inflatables (which you know I LOVE), I get to see way more people from the community AND I get to get dressed up! My humans enjoy this time of year too, so everyone is in a happy mood despite the approaching colder, darker months. My main human says if we gotta welcome the darker part of the year, we might as well do so with lots of inflatables, enthusiasm and fun. Tis the season to be spooky 👻! Sailor, Remington and I want to say: Happy Halloween 🎃 and Blessed Samhain! Be safe, yet spooky and have a great night! Love, Po 🎃👻👽🧡💀🧟‍♀️🧛😱🧙‍♀️✨️
