Hi guys, my name is Dot. I'm a 2008 model APHA pony mare, and I'm adorable. I was originally purchased to be my friend Jack's calf ropin' horse.... but I didn't really like the cows and I'm kind of a stubborn pony, so I convinced this young girl that feeds and cleans up after me that she should purchase me. I have lovingly named her Taylor.

Jumping? WHY?
So, today Taylor thought that I had to go where she wanted me to go... again. She got fairly unhappy when I decided that galloping back to the barn from the front field was a good idea. She keeps nagging that I "don't have a stop." I don't know what she's talking about, I clearly stopped when we got to the closed gate. But, I must have made her very mad at me because after she got us back into the field she proceeded to deliberately trot me straight at these "jumps." I was so flabbergasted that she would expect me to expend that much energy, when clearly the easier way was to just go around the jump, but no, she insisted I go OVER it. The first time I tripped all over it and banged my legs on the pole, which made Taylor laugh at me, after that I decided I had better pick my feet up... Taylor doesn't seem like a very smart human, she wants me to go over fences instead of around them, and she kept making the jump BIGGER, what a waste of energy...
After our ride, Taylor gave me a nice bath with fancy good smelling shampoo. I think it'll mix beautifully with the dirt from the pasture. I made sure to roll while I was still wet so that ALL of the mud and manure would mix right in. Aren't I the best pony?
