*I has to interrupt my regular scheduled blog to make an announcement regarding a certain character at teh RB. Puhlease listen closely. *
Yesterdays I has teh fortune of 2 human mares companies while going for mey walk. Tehy chatter about tihs and taht, I has mostly boredom wiht it. Howevers, mey ears perked up a bit wehn tehy start talkings about a horse named Frank.
I knowes tihs horse. I has known him for longers than these 2 human mares. Tihs horse is troubles. As a baby- we has lots of hard playtimes. In teh beginning, I has fun. I shows him how to play. But he always tries to go so far. But since I has talls and he has shorts, I can win teh games. But as he has more talls, tihs gets harder to do. He does bad things like scraping teh truck wiht his teeths. Bad.
Then one day, one of these human mares, (I dont normally mention names, but todays I will: my PARTNER) has eyes for Frank. Teh day she decided to do tihs I was shocked. Taht young horse put on quite teh show. I stood back watching- not knowing tihs human mare and knowing tihs Frank would act up like a joker colt and ruin it for hisself. But noes- he gives me teh wink in teh eye and off he goes, pretending he knowes all these fancie mooves he copies from teh others, like me.
Tihs human mare falls in teh love and takes him homes many moons ago (2 years worth for teh humans who don't count by teh moons).
Taht was the last of Frank. Until I mooves to Red Barn. And there he is, on teh other side of teh fence, has smirks at me. OH NOES! He's like a flys taht won't buzz offs.
I has been trying to let bygones be bygones, I has been pretending he is acres away and I don't sees him, even when he calls for me.
Back to yesterdays. During our walk, Frank's story came up. I suddenly has anger. I pins my ears down flat and give ugly face to my partner and teh other human mare. Tehy look surprised. Tehy keep talking about him and I has to give teh ugly face AGAIN! Tihs time my partner gets it and no longer talks about tihs joker.
From what I can tells so far, he is still teh joker. I has no caring for waht he does on his own, but I can't stand for teh joker stories when I has work to do, I has a reputation.
Thank yu for lending yur ear.
Now back to teh regular programs.

Rollin' With It...Like teh Mustangs Do
Oh Hai everyone! Todays was a special day, cuz I met somebody new! Teh trimmer up here. She's nice, and she likes teh tb types, so she likes me cuz I has everything a tb has...and more cuz I also has paint blood.
Here is me getting my hoofs trimmed. See how easy this is? I gots some "toes" taken offs and a good mustang roll. I see why teh mustangs like this. It works great for teh hooves.
Don't forget the back hoofs! I will wait patiently until yur done. Keep up teh good work, trimmer friend! See yu soon!

Has a Sit!
I has no updates lately becuz I has been doing nothing worth telling. Just eatings, drinkings, sleepings, and moping. Sumbody, I won't say names, says they want to works with me- but theys has not been working with mees. I waits for teh sumbody.
Yesterdays things went back to normals. Up to teh groomings, wear teh saddle (tihs time the thorowgood with padding), and into teh circus pen. Walks and trots, and working on being relaxed at teh trots. My partner keeps telling me to swing- I has little swing but I is getting more each time. I like how she pictures in her head what I has to look like, because tehn I try to copy it. It is hard work but I is up to teh job.
So after all that, I go to teh center of teh pen, and we do teh pretend mounting except tihs time my partner really sat on mees. I bend my neck around to check if she is really up thare. Yup, she is. Tehn she gets off. What teh heck is going on? And tehn she gets on again. Ok. A couple more times, teh both sides of mee.
I convinced her tihs was boring. So she got brave and we went for a walks around teh circus pen. I showed her what it was like to be on teh full circle. Its a long ways from the middle.

Ernie With A Saddle, Second Edition
Hai everyone!
Todays we returned to teh circus pen. My partner tells me its called a roundpen too. Ok, its round...I buy it.
I knowes right away what to do. My partner says "out" and out I goes. We warm up at teh walk. I remembers to stretch my neck down- I has this covered now. My partner says "ta-rot!" and I do teh trot. When I goes faster I forget to keep teh circle big, so my partner reminds me with teh "out" word- this way works good for us.
I tried on a treeless saddle todays during the whole time I was in teh pen. Its called a "fhoenix." But it doesn't look like a bird or teh city in Aridzona. It has soft and squishy. Underneath it I has a sheepskin fluffy pad with shims in there to help teh saddle stay away from my withers. I like all this about teh fhoenix.
At teh end of teh circus practice, my partner and I practiced standing next to teh big block she uses to get in teh saddle. I never seen her has so much talls, so it was weird at first. But I got used to it. We practiced on teh right and teh left.
And then, she tried to get on me but forgot a couple necessary things for riding. #1 Stirrups. Teh mounting block is too short to get on without stirrups of some kind. #2 Teh knowledge of how to mount. Last time I checked teh human has to swing teh leg over to my ohter side...my partner just leaned over me and sort of hung there. I thought this situation has weirdness all over it so I just stood there, sort of hoping she wasn't expecting me to move with her up there like that.
Next time she should really plan better. If yus want to rides, bring teh stirrups. Oh yea, yu forgots teh reins too.

Circus Circus! But No Lions and Tigers...
Oh Hai everybody!
I graduated to teh grooming station last nite. No more paddock for mees. I stood nicely for my groomings and fly sprays.
Yesterday was very fun becuz I gots to practice for teh circus with my partner. I is not going to be in teh circus, but it is good practice for riding competitions which many are like teh circus. So its best to practice from teh beginning- no?
I gots to wear a fluffy white pad and someting she called a circussingle- basically it is tis extra long girth that goes around mey bellie and has rings on it. I has seen pictures of circus horses wearing tihs thing- so I knowes what it is.
We worked teh circus circle- teh idea was to see how far apart we could be but still goes in a circle for teh audience. At first dis was hard so we stayed close. Tehn we decided that teh word "out" means make teh circle bigger.
We also decided it would be teh best for teh show if I could trot with my head towards teh grownd. If I stretch my neck down I looks relaxed and teh audience is not scared, considering I has talls. I knows what it is like to has scares so I do tihs for teh audience. Teh word "down" means put teh head lower. We has work to do on dis one because it is hard to do for long times.
Today teh practice audience was teh geldings from teh barn. Tomorrow, who knows, meybe many peoples.
I also got to wear Bobby's english headstall. Dis confuses me becuz I never met dis Bobby and a stall was definitely not on my head. Taht would be scary. Humans have funny werds for things like dis. I also got to taste sweet iron. Ohhh taht was yummers and made me so readies for my afternoon flavors.
Sorries- pictures are still in teh camera.

His Highness, Crusader Ernie
Teh last few days have ben a little rough for me cuz of teh weather. I has been OK but I has chills. I don't particular like this weather- mostly because I has no chance to grow a winter coat yet.
So my friend Nancy gave me Miracle's crusader blanket, cuz it should be teh right size. Last night after my evening flavors my partner cleaned me up good. I swear I has never been more clean without a bath before. Then I tried on dis crusader blanket. Instantly I has transformed into a crusader. Dis blanket was made for special knight horses, for sures. And for sures, I is one of them.
Nancy started to cry when she sees me. I has a little sadness for her. She tells me how happy she is that I fit in dis Miracle's blanket, and that he was a very special horse. I don't know dis Miracle, but if he wore dis blanket for sures, then I knowes he has specialness.
I is now even more proud of my crusader. Thank yus, Nancy & Miracle. I will be a great crusader.

Ernie Colombus, teh Greats Explorer
Saturdays: Teh normal routine, 'cept someting isn't right at teh RB. Teh grey filly is very upset about a new mare in Frank's pasture. As far as I can tells, dis is no new mare to teh RB. Teh grey filly is about to pull her manes out over teh fact that dis mare is not in our pasture. Whatevers.
I has boredom with my routines. I love my flavors, don't get me wrong, in no ways should those ever stop coming. Teh white snake tape says I has an extra 50 lbs from last week- and I feel so good, and am readys to do different things. So, todays I stopped and smelled teh flowers in teh mare pastures. OK, I stopped and smelled teh poops, which makes the flowers so its almost like the same.Teh fillies in that pasture got extra Ernie todays.
And for teh first time, I noticed 3 other horses across teh creek from our pastures. I don't knows why I never seen them before. But today, since I am curius todays , I found them! They are very nice, and now I knows who makes the noises on the other side of teh creek.
And todays I had to laughs because my partner was scared of teh bridge. She saws a real snake! I saws it too but being an explorer todays, those little things don't bother me. Imagine one of teh horses of Christopher Columbus being scared of a snake, ha. Dis is just not me.

Spymasks, pointy thingz, snakes, venoms and bangz
OK so I got a new spy mask!!! I love it. Its black, and matches teh color of my coat. I can watch yu and yu don't really knows what exactly I mey be looking at. Problem is, teh other horses got jealous of my new powers and my spy mask is now missing. If yu find it, please say so. I luv that spymask.
On another note, I met someone new yesterday. Nice girl- but a bit odd. Poked and prodded and did something to my backside, front side, and everywhere sides. Don't know what it was all about but she says I am OK. Well, she didn't have to go thru all that trouble to find that out- I wuld've told her myselfs.
I haf started a new routine. We take a walk thru teh mare field and ten I get to have my flavors in the safety of a nice big paddock. I like it- I want to keep my halter clean, and the all teh flavors in my tummy. In fact, my partner agrees so when I'm in dis paddock, I dont wear my halter at all. Which means its just me and hers- and we can come and go as we please.
Todays I weighed in at 1158 lbs- so sez teh funny looking white snake. That thing is weird- he's so thin and crinkles he doesn't eat- so I is not so afraids of him. He can also tell me how tall I is, but I forgots to ask him. Sorries. I is pretty tall.
So teh white weight snakes don't bother me, teh pokey pokey lady doesnt bother me, but I don't always like things that spray stuff at me. Seriously, it COULD be a snake and it COULD be venoms. People, please yuse yor heads. Todays after eating my flavors and the general groomings, my partner tried to spray me. I walked away. She followed. OH NOES-not teh venoms!! Don't yu know what that is? Well, she calmly petted me and showeded me tere was no snake, and no venoms. She put her hand on my chest and that made me feel betters. Soes I just let her spray me everywheres. And ten the flies went away. It was nice. Not as nice as teh spymask. De spray does nothing for spying.
BANGed! Some of my tail hairs were getting too long so I asked if someone could pls help with that. My partner did. She sprayed some magik stuff on it sos there were no more tangles. She took lots of time to make it look rights. It is important that I look good. Now that I take walks thru teh mares pasture.
Some of my mane hairs were a little too longs so we cut those too. Its really nice.

New Flavors!
I was so brave 2nites! My Partner came out: I heard her comin' so I waited by teh gate...ok so as close to teh gate as possible considering... I got my halter on and together we chased teh others away so I could walk through teh gate. I like when we chase teh horses together. We is a good team.
My Partner came out and gave me new flavors to try. Yum yum yum, I luvs them! I licked my plate clean. In fact, I licked Faith's bowl cleaned too. I also learned something new 2nites: never, ever, *not even for 1 second*, think I can get my flavors before Faith does. Never ever cross a mare. Not even a gray one. If you think she's not lookins, think again!!!

Welcome to my pasture!
Hey everyone, my name is Ernie, and welcome to my blog. I dont really know what a blog is for sure...all I knows is that it is a way to share stories about my life happenings.
Yep, I'm a horse. I don't want to confuse anyone, I'm not typing these posts, so don't go calling teh media to report a story about a horse who can type. Noes way! I get my friend and Partner to type these up for me. I just tell her teh words on my mind, and she gets dem heres.
You can also send me messages. My email address is: erniespasture@gmail.com My Partner will give me your messages.
Today was a big day for me. I seemed to have moved. Its pretty nice in dis new place, lots of green grass and pretty nice horses. I met my old friend Frank again. He was happy too see me but honestly I dont know what all his fuss was 'bout. I mean, I just seed him a little while agoes. Here's me in teh new place.
The grey filly stretching her legs. I kind of like her already.And below, gettin' some alone time with teh little lady. I think I'm gonna like dis new place.

Look here...its me in the middle. All these nice horses introduced themselves to me.Old ones, young ones, smalls and talls. No one tried to bite or kick me. Although one grey mare in particulars kept following me. Teh show off type. Well, I'm sort of used to it, teh girlz goin' wild for me, being so good lookin' and all.
Here dey are tryin to catch mees. I'm goin' real slows...to be social. Nobody likes scaredy catz.
