Three Years with Spud

It's kind of hard to believe I've had this fluffy potato for three years - in a lot of ways it feels like I've had him much longer.

His role from Expert Driving Pony changed gears this year and he became a Good Friend for Annie to hack out with and a Quiet Buddy for other baby learning moments.

It has been kind of cool to see him be an integral part in shaping Annie's future, not to mention lending some confidence in being a good baby horse.

He is forever being ponied

But I don't think he minds

OK, sometimes he minds.

Poor guy, always putting up with her shit.













I don't think I ever uploaded the pictures from the photoshoot
my best friend did. She had a model and needed horses... so I lent mine lol.
Spud and the model are posed exactly like that - no photoshop ;) 



Miniature horses have this knack for being incredibly naughty and borderline Satanic, but Spud is the sweetest and kindest little mini I have ever met. His moments of sass and naughtiness are triumphed by his willingness and aptitude to try anything I put in front of him.


I am excited for 2018 and all the driving fun we (hopefully) will have together.

    1. I'm thankful that his Devilish streak is more avoidance techniques vs trying to actually maim me lol.
