One Trick Pony

As I started up the snowy hill,
I passed this little pony heading
for a bale of hay set out in the pasture.
He was quite focused on his journey
and paid little attention to me as I drove by.

He looks rather isolated in the middle of all that snow. I bet he's wondering 'How much longer'

precious little pony in the snow, I would love to follow you around for a month or two. You find the most amazing photos.

Sunny you always have the greatest pictures. I love the flags in the cemetery. So unusual to see them in the snow.

And the cow a few post down is wonderful.

I just noticed the goat on the sidebar. I have been following a blog by Margaret called "Nanny goats in Panties" for eons. She has a section where she post goat photos sent in by here readers. If you are not familiar with the blog check it out. I'm sure she would love to post your photo or any others you might have if you would be interested in sending it to her. Her e-mail is on the blog. It is www.nannygoatsinpanties(dot)com.


Thanks for the visits my way and all the nice comments.

This picture fills my eyes, which is the greatest compliment I can give.

Excellent capture, Sunny. I see he has huge furry feet (hooves) These probably help in the snow...

Hey basic needs are basic needs. You were of no concern to him. What a neat story and photo. It does look cold.

Sunny while I was growing up we always had ponies and quarter horses. I can tell by the heavy coat on this Shetland that it has been a brutal winter up there.

P.S. Your header picture is beautiful. Ice storms are so beautiful but they are so treacherous. We often get ice storms here and they are much worse than a heavy snow.

Was he just out loose? I wonder why he wasn't in a fenced in area, because it can't be very safe for him walking along side an icy snowy road. Poor lil guy, but he's a cuuutie!

You really couldn't compete with the lure of the hay bale! Nice photo and story.

George said...

I imagine the pony is imagining how great some green grass would taste. But with all that snow he'll have to be content with that bale of hay.

Ah, he looks cold!

James said...

That's a very cute pony and I bet it's a cold pony too. I wonder if staring cow has met the trick pony? :)

Lois said...

He's so adorable and quite intent on getting to that hay!

Such a lonesome bend in the road for him to traverse with no one by his side.
