The Ponies Arrive!!!

"The Ponies are Here! The Ponies are Here!!!", cried Miranda as she ran out to greet them.

Unloading was a breeze as they fairly jumped out of the back of the trailer.

New faces for us. Personal Ponies representatives: Dell (in purple, current AR PPL director, she kept the ponies at her place while we were getting things ready and then delivered them here - THANK YOU!), Paula (in white, past AR PPL director, with Miranda and Sunshine. She drove up with Dell - Thanks for spending the day with us!), and Alice (in blue, new MO PPL director, she brought her mom with her~Thank you both for coming. It is nice to know you are nearby ~West Plains~ to help out whenever we need something) with her mom talking with Bob... you can see his shoes.

Robert and Miranda led them around as if they were old pros.

The (ever curious) Sheep greet the newcomers




Smokey say's "Ahhh I needed a good back scratch after that ride...
I'm home."

Aside from 'Gustov' and the impending rain... it was a rather nice day.

We really lucked out. When Dell and Paula arrived with the ponies there was a break in the rain and we didn't see a drop until they were well on their way back home.

Thank you so much PPL ~ Dell, Paula, and Alice for taking the time this after noon and acquainting us with the ponies and helping us get off to a great start.

Robert spent the rest of the day in the pasture with them brushing them again and again.
