Who Will Be a Pony Cousin?

Well, Cousins: there's no getting around it - you all qualify to be a Pony Cousin.

The ceremony comes later.
Right now, i will pair you up with the PC with whom you would have the most fun.
And, remember, the Pony Cousins are a really fun bunch,
but now, i know you can handle it!

LaughingOrca: you have Pony Cousin written all over you!
You have a lot of fun with all of your beautiful animals
and Her Majesty PC Paint Girl,
also loves all kinds of animals -
you both have really cute goats.
Well, and cute painted ponies...
Callie: you are a special case as you shout out your window to your "kids".
But you most match our favorite Rodeo Queen,
Her Majesty PC Paint Girl - mostly because your menageries match up.
You 2 have a lot in common.

Ishtar: Your pictures of Sheba and Isolde and your life in Africa
qualify you for PC pix of the month! You are going to love your PC partner, PC She Who Rides With Cuisinart!
She has your adventuresome spirit!

Strawberry Lane: 2 saddles in the living room will qualify you -
but you rescued "Shadow", so you are in the PC Hall of Fame!
Your passion includes that special love of caring for animals,
so i must pair you with, PC She Who Rides With Cuisinart.
You are going to love her big heart!

Melanie: You are "almost" too smart to be a PC...almost...
You and PC She Who Rides With Semi Colon would be a hoot together.

Carolynn: the photos in your blog are amazing
and with your arts background and good nature,
the only conceivable partner for you is
our dear PC She Who Rides With Semi-Colon.
She is clever, fun, and is the "supreme artist" of the family.

5 O'Clock Somewhere, we take one look at your name and know that you must be a PC,
and, i must say, that my first inclination was to pair you with me.
But to be fair, the idea that you make that beautiful jewelry,
means that i must pair you up with PC She Who Rides With Semi-Colon.
She is the artist and she would love your jewelry as much as i do.
And i do owe her a lot.... dang it.

Squirrelgurl:You and Buttercup will be entered at the next PC Rodeo in matched pairs

with PC Palomino Girl and the Golden Boy.
Yer gonna kick butt in all of the events, too!

Adventures of horsecrazedmind: there is no hope for you, Honey... you are in!
And, just so you know, some of us PCs shared a couple of Fjord ponies years ago.
In fact, here is an old photo of my Dad on the Fjord pony, Hombre,
and i am on our Appy stallion, Concho.
So you are paired with my girl, PC Palomino Girl,
who has spent a lot of time riding her ponies right on the spot where we are in the photo.

Cheryl: your desert horse, Gigo will probably be ready to join us
for the "PC Saddle Up Weekend" coming up in June,
if you 2 keep going like you are!
And, i think that you and PC Cowgirl1
would have a blast!
She is a real steady gal and i'm afraid that we
all probably try her patience sometimes,
but she is a good sport.Laura: You and Rusty qualify for the PCs.
Some of our PCs are new to the world of ponies and they are taking riding lessons.
And PC Cowgirl 1 would probably love to ride your Rusty, if she had the chance!



kd: You are a wise and capable rider and you must be paired up with ole PC SMR; we'll let "Jim meet Jack." Make sure you bring your roomy saddle bags.
You see, i can spot a fellow "rowdy" right away
and i think i need to keep the "rowdies" close to me!
Woooo-Hooooo!

Jenn: I almost paired you with PC Palomino Girl
because you are both communication majors.
But, because of the fancy mounting block your husband made for you,
you will be paired up with PC SMR.
If kd, Leah, and i have much to celebrate, we both may need some help getting up there!

Leah Fry: you were born to be a PC!
You obviously have good taste in beverages, husbands, and saddlebags...just like me!
I love your sense of humor...
so, i think that the two of us should ride the trails together with kd and Jenn.
Picture it: ole PC SMR, kd, jenn, and you!
Picture one heckuva cocktail hour!

Oh, the ever pragmatic Mrs Mom: you are like the eveready bunny -
i dont know how you keep it up.
You are a good match for PC Desert Rose -
we dont know how she does it all, either. We can use more PCs like you.
Oh, and you cannot be disqulaified for not drinking:
2 reasons: 1. some of the PCs dont drink.
2. Your partner, PC Desert Rose, will drink enough for both of you.

Grey HorseMatters: Oh, Honey, you are such a PC!
You must be paired with PC the Desert Rose:
the amount of tack for one horse, the smell of leather, the apples and carrots ...
you two are already related!

Cactus Jack: we will pair you and your DOR with another famous spotted butt
and you can compete in the next PC rodeo with PC Pony Girl and the popular My Boy.

sunnysd: a snork laugh and 7 saddles in your bedroom qualify you,
even if your shopping habits didnt.
But the shopping habits definitely pair you with PC Pony Girl.

Latigo Liz: You are always learning great stuff
and you share so much information - we need to pair you with PC Pony Girl.
She has a way of sharing info that is supportive as well as helpful

Traci and Spanky: I think you both know more than you are letting on,
but your innocent nature and denial has earned you a PC title.

i think you 2 would get along famously with PC She WhoRides in Full Moon

The 7msn: i am so impressed with your photos and your everyday life...
and dont get me started about the burros!
You are more than qualified to be a PC.
You are paired with one of the sweetest PCs of the bunch!
PC She Who Rides In Full Moon.
She would be fascinated by your story.
But, i would also have you ride with PC the Queen of Hearts.
She is another one of the sweetest PCs, who will,
out of the blue, will catch us by surprise with her clever wit.

AllHorse Stuff: Oh, yes, definitely a PC - hanging out at the barn, yep, you are in!
I know that you are going to hit it off with PC The Queen of Hearts.
She is fun, smart, and a little bit scary at being clever...

Oh, Trainwreck: you must be one of those cases of being "separated at birth",
because you are so qualified to be a PC...In fact, you are so qualified, you match up with our "firecracker",
PC She Who Rides With Desperados!
What a match-up - scary to think about, tho... shivers...

VaqueroGirl:you qualify as a PC!
you always have such interesting things to say on your blog
and i know that you and PC She Who Rides With Desperadoes would really hit it off.
She gets her "nutty" side from her mom, but she is a real multi-talented gal.

Meg: With your spirit and flair, the one PC partner for you is
PC The Divine Ms C.
She has an eye for flair and bling!
Yep, kdwhorses, you're a PC - definitely... you ride with flair
and that qualifies you to ride with
PC The Divine Ms C, who rides the ever-fabulous, Atticus.
You lucky dog!

But, Stephanie: since you qualify to be a PC,
you need to know that the PCs always share their pain meds and booze.
And to make sure that you do share,
we will pair you up with PC Cowgirl2
because she is the one we turn to when we need a level thought.
Mikey: you have so many great photos in your blog,
and you have wrangled so many snakes, you have to be a PC!
We'll put you on point out on the trail with PC Cowgirl2 and her pony, Trusty Dusty.

There you go, Pony Cousins, you have a friend and mentor in your own special PC!

Now, close your eyes;
picture yourselves in Cousin E's living room;
You are wearing your most comfortable jammies;
You have a warm, tasty beverage in your hand;
you are surrounded by a room full of Pony Cousins;
there is a festive air in the room, with the fire crackling in the background;
Photos of kids, grandkids, ponies, and pets are being passed around.

Pony Girl lets you try on her new chinks: (snap! a photo!)

She Who Rides With Cuisinart passes around a plate of tasty, colorful hors d'oeurves;

She Who Rides With Desperadoes is "drunk dialing" her Cousin's boyfriend;
(This is hysterically funny!)
(Pony Girl snaps another photo);

Palomino Girl (or, She Who Rides with Cell Phone), is on her cell phone;
Palomino Girl's Cousin, She Who Rides in Full Moon, is telling her what to say.

She Who Rides With Semi Colon is asking, "Does anyone want another beverage?
Is there anything that i can get for anyone?"

The Desert Rose has us all laughing over her story of one of her "trainwrecks" on the trail;
(Pony Girl snaps another photo);

Her Majesty, Paint Girl, is wearing her crown;
The Divine Ms C is curled up on the sofa with a stack of magazines and catalogs;
(Pony Girl snaps another photo);

Saddle Mtn Rider reclines and calls out to her Cousin,
"Eeeeee, where's that beverage you promised?"
The Queen of Hearts calls out, "Let me get it for you! Eeeeee, do you need any help?"

Cowgirl2 gives a cousin a quick hug and snuggles in closer to the fire;
Cowgirl1 quietly observes the storytelling, then bursts out, laughing.
(Pony Girl snaps another photo);

She Who Rides With Semi Colon finishes her story by saying,
"And then, the blonde tells the police officer,
'You policemen are so dense! One day you take away my driver's licence,
and the next day, you want me to show it to you!' ".

Then SMR calls out, "All right, Pony Cousins, it's time to start our Business Meeting.
Fill up your mugs, fill your plate with the desserts that Cousin B made for us,
grab one of the agendas i made up for you, and find a place by the fire.
Our first report will be from the Trail Boss on where we will go
for our next Pony Cousin Stampede."
(Pony Girl snaps another photo)

As you can see, newest PCs, you will fit right in here!

Now, go out into the world to do good, not evil!

P.S. Here's to our latest Pony Cousin, who just cannot be left without PC status: Victoria Cummings! She hosts a delightful and helpful post...

And she has a proper PC reason for being tardy to this post:
She has been tackling some "pony feet issues," with her beautiful Siete.
Victoria, because you are so good at sharing what you learn about your ponies,
i am going to pair you with PC Pony Girl, who seeks learning opportunities and questions knowledgeable horse people every chance she gets.

We seemed to be building quite a large pony-loving family!
Isn't it grand?!
