Many of my former blog posts have talked about the horses that I work with, but only twice, I have put up a picture of reference. Therefore, I decided that it would be very cool to go to the barn and take some "profile" pictures of all the horses. Now, I hope that you can create a visual in your mind of my so called peeps, who annoy and crack me up all at the same time. They are all joys in some respect or another, and it never fails that I end up with a story or two at the end of everyday. So, here are some profiles for my favorite equines, along with the human counterparts I have come up with. Hopefully, that can give you an idea of what their personalities are.
Meet Joe a.k.a. "Tommy Boy"
A popular little pony among my stories, Joe, is quite the character. He may not be the sharpest tool in shed, but he definitely shines with help. I call him "Tommy Boy" on occasion, named after the film with Chris Farley and David Spade. Tommy is not the brightest, but he definitely is hilarious, just like Joe. Joe is easily confused. He often goes into the wrong stall and wrecks havoc in the barn, but the truth is, he can't help it much. However, his massive states of confusion have diminished over this past semester. He is finally getting the idea that he will not be able to find food if he goes into a stall that is already taken by one of his buddies. One of Joe's best qualities that he is always chipper, and does not get into disagreements with the other ponies. He finds a way to be himself, no matter what he is up too.
Meet Marek a.k.a. "Richard"
On the contrary to Joe, Marek is a pretty smart little pony. He has a tendency to be a little bit of a party-pooper and standoffish. Which brought me to calling him "Richard." If anyone is going to give Joe a hard time in the pasture it is going to be Marek. He is also a little bit of a terd to the others around him, but he can be nice from time to time. Basically he knows how to do it all, but does not really apply it. He may be on the small side but he could kick your butt if you let him. Also, he is not going to be last and if there are only two horses in the pasture, him and someone else, he's got their back.
Meet Scarlet a.k.a. "Jackie Burkhart"
Scarlet is a bit of a controlling girl, which brought me to the calling her "Jackie" referring to That 70's Show. If it is not going her way she is going to tell you and make sure that you know that she is right. Other than completely stubborn, she is starving for attention and will do anything to make sure that you are looking at her and admiring how pretty she is. Her reasoning is not always the best, but she has a good expression most of the time, minus when the other horses make her mad. Although she may be popular, no one really likes her all that much on the surface, but deep down, she is loved to death.
Meet Frida a.k.a. "Eleanor Roosevelt"
Frida has definitely gotten wisdom with her years. She is the oldest pony in the barn, but is not going to let that get her down. With age has come grace when it comes to Frida. In the barn she is quiet and reserved, but keeps all the rest of the herd in check, specifically Joe. I call her Eleanor from time to time, because Eleanor Roosevelt was an amazing woman, and Frida is an amazing little pony. She always keeps trucking along, and does not let anything stop her from being a pony. Particularly when it comes to who gets the food in the barn first. Hey, she may be Eleanor Roosevelt as a pony, but she is still just a pony.
Meet Tobey and Al a.k.a. "Hitch and Albert"
Tobey and Albert are the epitome of "tall, dark, and handsome" and "short and cute." Therefore, I refer to them by the characters "Alex Hitchens" and "Albert Brennaman" from the movie Hitch. Together they are best friends and take care of eachother through there everyday challenges of being horses. They have gotten into some disputes, but they both got over them. When the two of them are together not much can bring them down. Tobey has got all the game, and Al has the humor. They are both super friendly, and fun to look at together, because they couldn't be more different.
Meet Fanny a.k.a. "Dorothy"
Fanny is bit lost at this point in her life. She is young and is definitely in search of a good friend and her talents. I call her Dorothy, because of just that. Dorothy went on a crazy journey, and I think that in her own little world Fanny is too. That is my reasoning when it comes to the fact that she never seems quite there. If she clicks her heels and says "there's no place like home" maybe she will return to reality.
Meet Silver a.k.a. "Jack Sparrow"
Silver wants to know why the rum is always gone. He enjoys a good party, and all he wants to do is go to the parties, drink rum, and hit on the ladies. However, like "Jack" he is not the most successful in the lady department and tends to get a good slap in the face, that he probably deserved. Still, he is comical and does not always have the best footing and tends to wobble.
Meet Sammy a.k.a. "Scotty Smalls"
Sammy just wants to be accepted, and will do whatever he can to fit in with he herd. Like "Scotty Smalls" from The Sandlot, Sammy will put himself in a little bit of danger just to be like all the rest of the kids. Whether that means climbing over a fence to get a ball back from a killer dog, or being brave and standing ground on his own hay pile. Either way, Sammy or as I call him "Smalls" is socially awkward, but is working his way to the top of the herd.
Meet Sangha a.k.a. "Princess Buttercup"
Sangha is classically beautiful and quite the princess. However, she is not the average damsel in distress princess, she can fend for herself, some of the time. She does need her knight in shining armor to come, but like "Buttercup" from the movie Princess Bride, she can defend herself for good period of time. She does it with out getting disgustingly dirty too.
Meet Kelsey a.k.a. "Big Mama"
Kelsey, who I call "Big Mama", is only called "Big Mama" because she is indeed a girl, and is very large. I am not a short person and her wither is a good six inches above my head. Kelsey is laid back and sweet. Although she is very large she makes the phrase "Gentle giants" a true statement. She is by far one of my favorite horses of all time.
Meet Graham a.k.a. "Happy Gilmore"
I call Graham, "Happy Gilmore," because he is grungy, goofy, and has a little bit of a temper. He is definitely a hockey player and not a golfer. Graham is loud, impatient, and is ecstatic when he has his Subway, or hay rather. Still, those who have his back will stand by him though all of his episodes, and temper tantrums. Besides, when he gets angry, it is complete hilarious.
Meet Claire a.k.a. "Michelle Obama"
Claire is like Michelle Obama because she has a loyal temperament. Whoever Claire is working with, she does what ever she can to please them and do what is right. If something stumps her, she will be honest about it, and then try to work to find the right answer. She also, keeps an eye on her family in the herd.
Meet Hank a.k.a. "The Terminator"
Hank might not look like much here with his sleepy face, but he definitely does a lot wear and tear on the ground he walks on. The Terminator may have turned good, but he is still a tough dude. Hank, is a muscle machine too, just travel sized. Overall, Hank will help you out, but be careful, if you push the wrong button he will kick your ass.
Meet Whinnie a.k.a. "Miss Daisy"
Whinnie is a bit of a grumpy lady, like Miss Daisy from Driving Miss Daisy. She is hard to please and wants everything to be done for her. Out of all the other horses, she is by far the most important, but she will not take you handoffs of affection. You need to just appreciate her without her telling you to do so.
Meet Sweet Pea a.k.a. "Dot"
Okay, so Dot is an ant, but she is the perfect character to describe Sweet Pea. Sweet Pea, is adorable, just like Dot. She may be young, but she is using what she is learning positively and becoming a small but awesome little pony. She is so smart, but don't let size fool you. Sweet Pea is definitely establishing herself as an alpha mare.
Meet Dancer and Gabe a.k.a. "Doug and Steve Butabi"
So Dancer is on the left and Gabe is on the right. These two are completely inseparable, and a little odd too. Like Doug (the short one) and Steve (the tall one) from the movie A Night at the Roxbury. These two have no game at all, but they like to think they do, or rather, they have no idea they are completely insane. What is love? Enough said.
Last but not least:
Meet Kevyn a.k.a. "Denis the Menace"
Kevyn is a menace and one of a kind. He is the cutest little pony with a great sense of humor, and he definitely knows how to get himself in and out of trouble like it is his job. But, hey, maybe it is his job. I call his name, and he looks completely guilty. Makes me wonder what he has been up too, when I have not been watching him. I look into his eyes and I can envision him screaming "Hey Mr. Wilson!!" Kevyn is a trouble maker, but fills all who deal with him laughter.
