Fuzzy Ponies & Slow Feeder Bags
I know I’ve kinda been missing for a while. Sorry! Things have gotten insanely busy at my shop for Christmas, much more than I anticipated. Meanwhile the ponies were busy selling paintings for Christmas all over the World! It makes me smile to think of all the people out there that will be unwrapping a fun little surprise from one of the boys on Christmas morning.
And speaking of the ponies, the boys have been busy growing hefty winter coats (hopefully not in anticipation for as much snow as we had last year), and cursing me for buying them slow feeder bags to keep their rolly polly tummies under control! hehe. It’s because I love you boys, please don’t hate me. 🙂
The slow feeder bags are designed to make the ponies eat their hay ration at a slower pace. It helps makes their 2-Flake allowance of hay last much longer – thus keeping them from thinking they are STARVING to death when their hay runs out….which trust me, they are not!
Hopefully the Holiday craziness will settle down soon and I’ll be able to get back to enjoying some time with my boys! I know they are anxiously waiting to find out what tricks they will be learning in 2011!! Woohoo!

Aren’t they great? It’s so nice to go out several hours later and find ponies just finishing the last of their hay instead of nickering plaintively because they finished the hay hours ago! Not to mention how much better it is for those equine tummies…
Yeah I love them. We’ve had them about a month now, and the ponies seem much happier….and we don’t feel guilty about only giving them a small ration.
Neat idea..boy they are some “fluffy” ponies..and not in the hairy sense..I thought Pie was chunky, but she doesnt have anything on them!
oh yes, the boys are pretty chunky! Although to be fair they all have VERY thick winter coats right now. Boomer especially…..I hate his winter coat, it makes him look like he’s 30, not 7.
