Most of the people that came by our booth at the 2012 PA Horse World Expo<\/a> probably thought that 19 year old Minnow was an old pro at attending expos.<\/p>\n

\"chincoteague<\/p>\n

He hopped off the trailer on Thursday morning, walked through the barns buzzing with clinicians and horses twice his size, and made his way through the rows and rows of expo booths to his corral on the expo show floor. He was the ONLY animal on the show floor for the duration of the expo – with not a single horse in sight.<\/p>\n

Yet, despite Minnow’s professional attitude, this was the VERY FRIST time he attended an expo – let alone spend the majority of the time corralled on the show floor.<\/p>\n

I was so proud of him – he’s come such a long way from his days of being terrified of EVERYTHING, and bolting at the slightest sound. I can attribute much of his success to the clicker training we began in 2004, but mostly Minnow & I just share this connection where he will do anything for me and vise versa.<\/p>\n

He’s truly an amazing pony, and I’m glad he was able to make so many people smile during our visit to the PA Horse World Expo.<\/p>\n

Below is a video I pulled together of Minnow’s experience at the expo – in case you missed it.<\/p>\n

I hope to have some photos of a few of his newest paintings up on the blog shortly – and as always you can check out our online shop<\/a> to see all of Minnow’s artwork.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
