Chincoteagues in the Snow
What’s more beautiful than a Chincoteague Pony running in the snow? Three Chincoteague Ponies running in the snow! Check out these videos I took on Monday of Minnow, Blitz and Boomer running around in our snowy ring.
You might notice after watching the first video that Boomerang keeps attempting to stand on the snow covered bridge. I think its so cute, he’s clearly trying to figure out if he does something with the bridge maybe it will bring him some food, I love how he’s always thinking.
Ok now after watching these…take note of Minnow (he’s the shortest bay and white pinto that runs around the most). Now does he look like a pony with severe ringbone in his front pastern? I think he’s faking the whole thing! You can barely detect a limp! And he’s not on a drop of medication or any supplements!
By watching Minnow gallop around its easy to tell why he was such a great mounted games pony. Several times he sits deep on his hind end to spin around – not to mention look at that speed! Boy do I miss riding him! And whats up with Boomerang (the buckskin and white pinto)? He’s supposed to be my next-in-line mounted games pony and he barely takes a trot step! Jeesh! I’m going to have to work on him. 🙂

Great videos!!! Minnow looks fantastic. Ponies are so cute! I wish I was about five or six inches shorter so I wouldn’t look so disproportionate riding ponies because they are soooooo fun.
I liked Blitz near the end of the second video when he was bucking how he would twist in one direction and then the other. Very athletic!! 🙂
Thanks. Ponies are fun! I’m actually 5’11” and our shortest pony is Minnow, standing at 13.1hands. I don’t care how big I look though – too much fun to give up!
