Ava's Point of View

Ava asked me if she could write a post of today's events. She's been pestering and pestering me about this for some time and now she has finally broken me down to say yes. Since she is so inclined on posting I thought I'd take a break for a bit and let her take over for a few posts. She was delighted to hear this. So we'll see how this goes; if she starts getting agitating let me know and I'll have a talk with her, she can get kind of sassy!

 This is how my day started. I was just standing in my pasture minding my own business when mom comes up from behind me and starts taking pictures while baby talking Poco and me. I looked back at her thinking, you sure are crazy, woman. Then afterwards she captures me with her head trap thing then takes me into the barn. I don't mind going into the barn, but I would much rather stand in my pasture doing nothing. Mom put me into these things that she likes to call "cross-ties" and I tolerated it fine. I watched the horses in the barn as Mom ruined all my perfectly waterproofed fur by smoothing it down with a thing she calls a brush and she also rubbed it down with this purple blanket thing which is called a towel. Mom is always telling me what she is doing. Silly human, if you're always teaching me all these things don't you know that means that us horses are one step closer to ruling the world?! Oops, I shouldn't say too much, don't want Mom to find out, best to keep it a secret!

Anywho, Mom lead me into the circle of death, I stopped before entering trying to subliminally tell her that I do not want to go in there. Mom waited for me to move but I stood my ground; she didn't have much patience with me on this, so she pointed and clucked to me. Ugh, I rolled my eyes, swished my tail, and stomped in there. She then let me loose and walked away. So, to embarrass her I decided to start dancing and running around trying to get her attention. I don't do this often but today I was feeling good! Mom finally came back and I immediately calmed down, haha, silly human. Then she made me work...

After mom wore me out she tortured me some more and started putting all these contraptions on me. I was too tired to resist though, ugh... Then to take it even further she straddled my back and started working me more... Again I was too tired to give her much of a fight. I behaved like she asked although Mom needs to stop nudging with her heel after I am already doing what she is asking of me; it gets really annoying... She will pay for it one day if she doesn't learn soon, muahaha! Oops I'm starting too say too much again, silly me! Well, after mother was finished with my daily routine torture she started to get off of me but something made me nervous and I moved; this agitated Mom and she got after me, I stood like a stone afterwards. Hopefully those invisible monsters won't scare me any time soon, Mom can scare me much more sometimes... After that little spell Mom gave me a stroke on the neck and said I did good. Phew!

Mother released me from all the contraptions and then made me stand stand for a bit. Then for some reason Mom started putting something away and left me, it freaked me out, so much that I peed. When she was coming back I pulled out the scraping the ground with my hoof trick, it works every time. I calmed down when she came back. Finally after a super long ten minutes Mom took me back out to pasture and surprised me with a yummy treat, I don't get many, Mom says I get "pushy," whatever that means...

Hoof out my beautiful horses and ponies!

It was snowing outside.
