The Pony Spa by Toothy

Chester and I went to a pony spa. Maeve was washing the horses. There was a place where the horses could talk to each other while they dried off in the sun. They also got dressed up in fahhhhhhhhncy clothes! Chester got to go for a ride in a big carriage pulled by guinea pigs singing Danza Danza.

We watched a horse tap dancing show.

And we saw Franken by the side collecting money in his hat. He was juggling sticks with fire on both ends!

I got some salmon sauteed in a veggie sauce with potatoes on the side. Chester got bamboo hay, apples, carrots, and a salad with veggies. He also got to carry children, three and up, on his back.

For three to four year olds he only walked and hopped over one log.
For five to six year olds he trotted and hopped over two logs.
For seven to eight year olds he ran and jumped over a fence and three logs.
For nine to 10 year olds he jumped over two fences and four logs, and galloped.
For over 10 he ran as fast as he could, jumped over lots of fences and logs, and bucked.

Sometimes they put another horse with kids riding to race Chester.
The races were fun. They jumped over obstacles, bucked, and kicked up their legs.

That's it for now,
bye.
