Merry Christmas everyone! Remember the year that I got to help pull Santa's sleigh? Don't worry, you can read the story here if you don't remember.

Here's an e-mail I got from Kenzie. It's nice to know that someone is stlll reading my blog!
"Hay, Pippi!
I think my human must have over indulged at Thanksgiving, or maybe it’s all the extra clothes she’s wearing for winter. Ugh! I sure don’t miss the pesky summer flies, though.
Kenzie"
Yeah, that's there no flies is about the only good thing in winter.

Happy Thanksgiving! We horses of Belezaire Farm have a lot to be thankful for. First, for the humans that clean our stalls, give us fresh water, and take us in and out in all kinds of weather. They're definitely a special group of people.
Next, we all want to thank each of our own humans who spend time with us, groom us, ride us, buy us all sorts of fun accessories, pay the bills, and give us treats. Thank you, but be sure to keep all of that coming.
And lastly, we want to thank Don and Mike for providing us with this wonderful place to live. It's so pretty and peaceful out here. Well, except for when the geldings start playing around. Anyway, thank you Don and Mike — we wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you.
On this day of thanks and big meals, just remember that your horse is going to be the one who can tell if you overinduldge. Don't worry, though, horses are excellent at keeping secrets!

It's been such a busy spring – there's drill team practice twice a week, plus on Saturdays I get to go out on pasture and eat to my heart's content. I keep hearing words like "chubby" and "big belly" around me, but I'm not sure what they mean. All I know is I only get one night a week out and I sure make the most of it. I am a lean, mean eating machine!
Want to see how good I look? Check out this video of our first drill-team performance this year. We performed for the Arab Club and we rocked! Whenever those blue polo wraps go on my legs, I know it's time to shine. I didn't even argue with Ebby when we were paired up. That's me next to Ebby – we're the first horses coming in.

I heard through the horsevine that a lot of the humans here took a trip to Kentucky to visit the Kentucky Horse Park. How could they do that and not take us horses? That's just not right. Anyway, there are lots of new photos from their trip located on the photo gallery page.

Here's an e-mail I got from Kenzie:
"Hi Pippi, Love the beach video. That could be me and Jake, too. That is if he doesn’t trip and fall and hurt himself. He tends to be a bit accident prone. Kenzie"

So sick of winter I could scream. I've been dreaming of the beach. This video should be of Bravo and me on vacation.

Happy Sweet Sixteen to me! Yep, it's my birthday, the most special day of the entire year. I hope I get lots of presents. If anyone is stuck on what to get me, I'll never say no to a Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme pie.

Did you know that Ebbie can scream like a mare? It's so funny!

Being head mare is a lot of responsiblity. I mean, I've got to always be alert and watching out for my girls — keeping them safe from things like plastic bags, strange noises, and, believe it or not, cougars.
So when Lexi, Sophie, and Kenzie decide to hang out in the front pasture and not come in for dinner with me, I get very upset. Some may say that as an alert head mare I should have realized they weren't around before I was put in my stall. I say it's not my fault because Bravo was talking to me over the fence. You try to not be distracted when Bravo's shiny brown eyes are looking into your own.
Anyway, I did eventually notice that my girls weren't around and that's what counts. And I was so upset, I couldn't even eat my dinner. Nothing says I care about you like a mare not gobbling down her grain. Even the geldings in their stalls couldn't soothe me.
Luckily, my herd finally did come up to the barn and life was good. Dinner was served and every horse was in its place. But I sure had a talking to with my girls. They'd better not go off on their own again. Don't they know how hard it is to be head mare when there's no one to boss around?
