True there have been many horses in history that have made their debut in weddings. We&#8217;ve all seen the horse drawn carriages and even the crazy brides who attempt to ride their horse down the isle in a princess wedding gown. Lets just say I wasn&#8217;t that brave. No I chose to do something a little different for my October 4, 2008 wedding to my highschool sweetheart.<\/p>\n<p>This post is a little late &#8211; but I was just so proud of my little Minnow that its worth mentioning again. I trained Minnow to walk down the isle throwing petals out of a basket as he went. He performed his job\u00a0flawlessly\u00a0and even calmly posed for photos afterwards. Too bad there is no use for this amazing trick now that the wedding is over &#8211; unless someone wants to rent a chubby Chincoteague Pony to throw flowers at their wedding. \u00a0\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_21\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=aO2wNRve21M\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-21\" data-attachment-id=\"21\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.paintingpony.com\/blog\/n26602747_33347721_2819\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.paintingpony.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/n26602747_33347721_2819.jpg?fit=604%2C453&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"604,453\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Chincoteague Flower Pony\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Chincoteague Minnow walks down the isle with handler, my sister Laurel.&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.paintingpony.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/n26602747_33347721_2819.jpg?fit=590%2C443&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-21\" title=\"Chincoteague Flower Pony\" src=\"http:\/\/trickponies.files.wordpress.com\/2009\/03\/n26602747_33347721_2819.jpg?resize=500%2C375\" alt=\"Chincoteague Minnow walks down the isle with handler, my sister Laurel.\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.paintingpony.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/n26602747_33347721_2819.jpg?w=604&amp;ssl=1 604w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.paintingpony.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/n26602747_33347721_2819.jpg?resize=500%2C375&amp;ssl=1 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-21\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chincoteague Minnow walks down the isle with handler, my sister Laurel.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_22\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-22\" data-attachment-id=\"22\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.paintingpony.com\/blog\/n26602747_33055662_5977\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.paintingpony.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/n26602747_33055662_5977.jpg?fit=604%2C401&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"604,401\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Minnow with the bride\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Chincoteague Minnow gives me a kiss.
