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.<\/p>\n<p>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 &#8220;skit&#8221; for him. I&#8217;m having trouble coming up with ideas though. So far I have two thoughts &#8211; Minnow decides to join the circus and creates an audition tape, and Minnow reads the book &#8220;Misty of Chincoteague&#8221; and thinks he can create his own book and be like Misty.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"28\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.paintingpony.com\/blog\/circus-horse\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.paintingpony.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/circus-horse.jpg?fit=2048%2C3072&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"2048,3072\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;4.5&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon EOS 300D DIGITAL&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1090614345&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;60&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;800&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0166666666667&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Circus Horse\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.paintingpony.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/circus-horse.jpg?fit=590%2C886&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-28\" title=\"Circus Horse\" src=\"http:\/\/trickponies.files.wordpress.com\/2009\/03\/circus-horse.jpg?w=200&#038;resize=200%2C300\" alt=\"Circus Horse\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.paintingpony.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/circus-horse.jpg?w=2048&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.paintingpony.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/circus-horse.jpg?resize=333%2C500&amp;ssl=1 333w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.paintingpony.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/circus-horse.jpg?resize=682%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 682w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Any other suggestions are welcome!<\/p>\n<p>-KD<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This summer I plan to bring Minnow back to Chincoteague to perform at the Chincoteague Pony Centre.
