Hello everyone! How are you this morning? It’s really cold out here in my side of world but no snow though. It’s also time to post another Camera Critters and my entry for this week is Chicken/hens. These chickens reminded me of my childhood. We used to have chickens when I was growing up in the village where I used to live. There are lots of them running around our backyard. When we want chicken for dinner we just catch one of them and killed one. OMGosh now that I remember how to kill chicken I don’t think I can do it again. Anyway it was really hard catching chicken too because they ran so fast and fly up on the trees so we need a dog to help us catch the chicken. Oh well that’s my childhood memory. Have a blessed weekend everyone!

Camera Critters

My daughter and I were on the way to the bank and this kitty was following us. My daughter was thrilled and she’s calling kitty to come with us. It’s my neighbor’s kitty. She finally caught up with us and started jumping and rolling over. I had to take pictures you know before I send kitty away!(smile)

Camera Critters

Hello everyone! I’m back now and this is my first entry for 2010. Happy New year to all you!
My daughter loves pony so when we learned that there was pony at the Meadowville garden center last summer we went there right away. Aside from ponies there were different kinds of animals there too. We had a great time looking at them. Anyway my daughter never had a chance to ride the pony because they got tired and won’t let her ride. We’ll try again this summer!

A pony is a small horse with a specific conformation and temperament. There are many different breeds of ponies. Compared to horses, ponies often exhibit thicker manes, tails and overall coat, as well as proportionally shorter legs, wider barrels, heavier bone, thicker necks, and shorter heads with broader foreheads. On occasion, people who are unfamiliar with horses may confuse an adult pony with a foal, which is young, immature horse.

Ponies are generally considered intelligent and friendly, though sometimes they also are described as stubborn or devious. The differences of opinion often result from an individual pony’s degree of proper training. Ponies trained by inexperienced individuals, or only ridden by beginners, can turn out to be spoiled because their riders typically lack the experience base to correct bad habits. Properly trained ponies are appropriate mounts for children who are learning to ride. Larger ponies can be ridden by adults, as ponies are usually strong for their size.

The pony originated from original wild horse prototypes that developed small stature due to living on the margins of livable horse habitat. These smaller animals were domesticated and bred for various purposes all over the Northern hemisphere.

Ponies were historically used for driving and freight transport, as children’s mounts, for recreational riding, and later as competitors and performers in their own right. During the Industrial Revolution, particularly in Great Britain, a significant number were used as “pit ponies“, hauling loads of coal up from the mines.
