So today I had a snow day and I was on Sanctuary and I noticed that the posts have been lacking a bit. I decided to post up a funny story about me to get you all pumped about the snow, since at my house, we have a lot of it. So yesterday, my mom was riding this little pony Domino up and down the driveway and she only had his blanket on and she asked if i wanted to ride him and i was like, no thanks that seems a bit on the edge. She kept assuring me nothing would happen but this pony was notourious for throwing riders and while he had gotten better lately, i was not about to be victim number who knows. So today, i decided what the heck, i was gonna ride him. So i get on bareback and its really cold and snowy and i have my pajama pants and snowpants on over them and im wearing my snow boots and im all bundled up and its so bitter cold and we have about 23 inches of snow at this point. So im not extremely excited to be riding this pony bareback but my mom went through all the trouble of ponying him up behind Lucas and bringing him up to the house to cheer me up and Mom NEVER rides on the lawn because, well she just doesnt. Me on the other hand, well I tend to do it more than I will ever admit to. Yes Mom, those were deer that made those tracks. Anyway, so Im all excited and I rush downstairs in my pajamas and I throw my snow pants and boots on becasue no way am I riding in breeches and paddock boots, even though my mom has a pair of those mountain rider winter boots on or whatever. But not me, no way. So I use the front steps and I swing on and hes just kinda sitting there, really docile for such a seemingly devilish pony. So mom is like, okay whatever and she walks up the driveway and finally Domino goes to catch up with her and Lucas and so I get to the mail box and suddenly Domino has more interest in eating the planter than moving forward so Im trying with all my might to get this little pony to go and finally mom walks over, reaches down, and smacks his little rump and he freaks out and spins around nearly bumping into Lucas who basically couldnt care less and so finally Domino decides hes gonna go forward and he does, right over the enormous 4' pile of snow. I mean, this thing is everest. And I try really hard to hold on but I just was spun around more times than if I was on a merry go round. So I slip and land. In the 4' of snow. And the first thing I see is Domino landing next to me. Turns out he wasnt destined to be a 4' jumper. So here we are both in the snow and hes freaking out trying to get his little legs back underneath him and hes rolling and scrambling becasue he really doesnt like this. And ive sunk down into the snow about 2' so im kinda trapped and Mom is cracking up becasue apparently it was hilarious, yet I still disagree. So mom finally gets off of Lucas and manages to grab Domino but alas, hes stuck in the snow as well. So she pulls me out and we begin to dig out Domino, the little fat pony stuck in the pile of snow. Finally, we got him out but not before Mom got bit and Lucas spooked and ran across the road and I had to go get him and tie him up and at this point my brother Logan has come home and hes helping dig the pony out of the snow. But the problem wasnt even that Domino was stuck in the snow. Its that Domino didnt like being stuck in the snow. Which has started to ice over into that nasty hard ice that is formed when people shovel snow and leave it to freeze again. And its getting colder and he doesnt have a blanket on, except his 2" of thick fur that hes grown himself. So my other brother Gavin grabs a cooler out of the back of his truck and throws it over him and we are all out there digging the pony out. Finally about an hour later, we got him out. Moral of the story, dont ever ride Domino. There is no exception. Just dont ride him. 
No really, dont. Hes a devil pony who loves mischief.
Seriously. Hes not even one of those oh-look-at-the-cute-pony-wahh-he-just-bit-my-hand-off pony. Hes one of those wow-what-a-brat ponies.
