Pony Yoga

So, the other night, on a trail ride... my rock star trail pony was suddenly doing piaffe...

 

When I asked her to stop, she moved on to "down horse" (which is much like "down dog", except the horse is doing the yoga, and the rider has not yet dismounted)... 

Seriously.  Her legs were straight out in front of her, and her chest was nearly on the ground! 

 

While I truly appreciate her athleticism, that is really a disconcerting position in which to find one's self.

Athletic Pony (obviously not our trail ride)

I'm guessing we walked through nettles somewhere.....  Itch weed...  Something...

She seemed fine by the time we got to the barn!

I washed her legs, anyway, just to make sure...  But, she should really do Pony Yoga on her time instead of mine...
