At A Circus Near You
This summer I plan to bring Minnow back to Chincoteague to perform at the Chincoteague Pony Centre. Last year he started the show by painting a portrait for the crowds as they arrived. Then later in the show he performed a jumble of his tricks to music and finished up by auctioning off the painting he created.
This year I wanted to try something a little different. Instead of having him perform just a jumble of tricks, I wanted to create a “skit” for him. I’m having trouble coming up with ideas though. So far I have two thoughts – Minnow decides to join the circus and creates an audition tape, and Minnow reads the book “Misty of Chincoteague” and thinks he can create his own book and be like Misty.
Any other suggestions are welcome!

Make Me Taller
The new pedestal from Horse Playground Equipment LLC has me drooling. It weighs about 38lbs. and is constructed in all aluminum. But with a hefty price of $549 I think the ponies will have to sell some more paintings first!

Mini Me
Someday I hope to have my herd of Chincoteague Ponies to adorn their very own Breyer blankets – the blanket that only horses that have been immortalized as Breyer models can wear. But until that day comes I will just have to create my own!
I painted a Breyer mold of Misty of Chincoteague to look just like my famous, “Chincoteague Minnow”. In the near future I hope to complete my “box set” (to include Chesapeake Lightning aka Blitz and Chesapeake Boomerang aka Boomer as well).
