First!! Can't you hear the little snore-ies from here?
the one one the right looks like she'll find a big patch of drool on her pillow in the morning.
cute little curled up hockses!
OOOh!! They look all curly and floofy! I wanna snuggle too!
OH! I love the little sneakers they wear on their website!
D:
The website makes me sad
OMG! WTF?! LOL!
seriously, you guys, seriously.
I want a pony.
Awwww, little ponies tucked into bed. Who's gonna read them a bedtime story? *melts*
OMG! tiny sneakers!!!! On teh tiny ponehs!!!!!!! EEEeeeeeeeeeEEE!!!!
i had no idea they made ponies that small nowadays. and with extra functions too. sorta like an advanced technology pony.
Unequine-omously cute! When cuddle-up is better than giddyap...
Pon1e #1 is all "No, *you* turn out the light..."

jaypo - Flicka off the light?
I totally wantto nap with them!
little miao - I see that too.
Horace - Read me Black Beauty one more time, pleeease?
Winnefred - No, it's way past time to hit the hay.
Horace - Neigh, then sing 'Wildfire' for me.
No more horseplay.. time for bed!
Theo - Ow. That hurts my brain.
Oh. My. Goodness.
As a certified horse geek, this makes my brain implode. It's magical horsies.
And not to be a stupid and useless pedant, but for anybody who's interested, they're actually mini horses not ponies...yes, there is a difference, which probably means less than nothing to most of the average Real World.
Nevermind...enjoy the Cute.
OK I simply must know, what is the difference between a pony and a horse?
Just when you think you've seen it all! SWOON!
A thinker - Aw don't say 'nevermind'. Peeps are interested.
OK, fer interested peeps:
(GAH, I cannot seem to find a suitable link.)
Basically the difference is proportions: besides size, ponies have different body proportions to a full-size horse. The goal of miniature horse breeding is to create a horse that has as much as possible the body style of a large horse, but in a small size. When judging them, minis which look most like a fullsize horse (to simplify a lot) will do the best.
(I'm a fullsize, not mini, horse geek, so any mini peeps out there who care to add or correct are welcome).
Teh ky00t notwithstanding, I never knew that there were miniature horse guides. Its certainly an interesting concept.
OK, fer REALLY interested peeps:

(second para. under "The skinny on minis" gives some info on the difference).
Ohhhh! It's Trip and Cuddles! I found the best picture ever of Cuddles on the job, with her guide harness and her little sneakers and everything. There's a small dog looking on like "darn horses, stealing our jobs..."
Oooooooh! They are all shetl-ed down for a nap! =)
i love these sleepy horseys! meanwhile, speaking of OMG! Ponies! Has anyone seen the new Fur Real Butterscotch the Pony? I couldn't stop petting it at Target the other night. I think I may have actually elbowed a toddler out of the way. (kidding). Anyway, here's a clip i found on YouTube. if this thing wasn't $299, i would SO want one, especially at work!

A thinker - Thank-you. Great website too.
Chocolate ponies, dusted with cocoa.
I'm stunned...I had no idea that they could be trained as guides for the blind. A_thinker, how long do these horses live? I'd think that that would be an asset, as a guide dog usually only has a 7-8 career.
oh my god, I sent this in over a year ago! hahah! still cute as hell.
A thinker.... I believe the PC term is "little horses" [kidding]
SO CUTE! I want one!
Anyone know the reason why they wear sneakers? Grip? Noise?
What kind of bedtime story do you read to a pony?
"Once upon a time there was a magical kingdom of humans..."
bats, the little horsies can live up to 35 years or even longer.
anon, they wear the sneakers to protect their feetses from glass and hot pavement, etc., to avoid slipping on slick surfaces, to prevent damage to floors, and for sanitary reasons... but mostly 'cause they're very stylish.
I sent in a link to the Guide Horse website myself, a few weeks ago. Not only are the little horsies just too adorable for words, they live much longer than guide dogs, and they have much better peripheral vision, for guiding blind people in situations like city pedestrian traffic. They're also strong enough to help a person who has trouble getting up from a chair, or keeping steady for someone with balance problems. They're even "housebroken" - when they're indoors, they go to the door and whinny when they need to go outside. And they make their human partners the envy of every little girl they meet!
Oh, I remember seeing this a couple of years ago one one of those news magazines, like Dateline. The program was just starting and they went and talked with one of the first recipients, some blind guy...The whole thing was awesome, once you got over the fact that it was just too weird to see a miniature horse in sneakers walking down a city sidewalk.
My Little Ponies have come to life!
Seepy widdle guide horsies!
(TK is asleep on my lap right now -- dreaming)
Does anybody else hear the Godfather theme playing in the background?

We (my brother, sister and I) were lucky enough one year to get a pony for Christmas. We still lived in the city so we kept it at a friend's farm then we moved to our farm the next summer. We named the pony Jingle Bells (Jingles, for short). She was a very nice pony.
Then we went to a farm auction and bought another pony but we had come in our car so we ended up bringing the new pony home in the backseat of the car, scrunched in with us three kids. We named her Belle Starr cause she had a bell-shaped spot on her side.
No, we didn't live on a farm-we lived in a zoo.
this is actually painful to look at for too long. it's that freaking cute.
I've seen one of these guide horses around town, in her little pink sneakers. Not only are the horses hintygazillion times cuter in person, (horse-son?), but they seem to do a great job as guide animules.
I would love to see one acting as a guide horse. I think it would be hilariously cute.
oh. my. god. Guide ponies? That is the most spectacularly awesome concept I have encountered for some time. Oh to tool around town with my own little mini-horse in sneakers. Wow. I think I can die happy, now, just knowing someone gets to live that dream. *sigh*
If I ever go blind, I want one of THOSE! :-)
Heck, I want one anyways... *LOL*

EEEE! Elizabeth has frightened me! Horse head in bed!
Oh, except it's two full ponies. So that's cute. Guide ponies. I'm just imagine, being sight impaired and sending your ponie out to the kitchen to get you a beer, and the joy of hearing its little hoofsies clip-clopping back to you! Er, anyway, that's what I'm imagining.
See, this is what happens when you get a visit from the *Cuteness* Mafia. Apparently it's the final warning before you, eh, honk-shu wif da feeeeeshies.
The website says they're minature horses not ponies. >.> I'm pretty sure there's a big difference. Ponies I believe are actually larger.
Absolutely adorable though! ^__^
