This Pony In Panties Ain't No Poser! (Ellensburg, WA) -- You can see some pretty strange things in Ellensburg.  Miniature horses are the first thing visitors notice as they pull up to the house of Cherry King and Jenny Calhoun, but the scene quickly gets even more bizarre.  Out across the yard comes "Fat Butt" the miniature goat, as chickens, macaws, dogs, and a host of other pets begin to stir.  The most unique of them all is Rosie, the two-foot tall miniature horse that has been trained to respond to 23 commands to help King, who is blind.  "At a crosswalk, if a car is coming, she'll block me.  There's nothing she can't do."  That's right, a guide horse for the blind--one of only two in the country, the other is in Pennsylvania.  Rosie goes everywhere--to the grocery store, the hospital, everywhere.  And they get strange looks at every turn.  Before going anywhere, Rosie is fitted with a harness, a blanket, and even specially designed horse panties---yes horse panties.  "She's potty-trained," says King "But as a precaution, she wears panties."  It's not just a diaper or shorts; the horse actually wears silky red panties with a thick lining and a hole for her tail.  Watching a 24-inch tall horse strut her stuff in red panties makes all of the other aspects of the story seem a little more run-of-the-mill.  After all, in a world where tiny horses wear panties...?  By the time Rosie climbs into the back of the Toyota Celica and heads into town, she's dolled up in full regalia, so it's no surprise when people slow down and heads turn when they see her climb out of the car in downtown Ellensburg.  The head spinning is no surprise to King.  The place where people are most shocked by Rosie is in restaurants, where the horse often sits under the table during meals, only to emerge when its time to go, startling patrons in nearby booths.  Like a guide dog, Rosie can legally go everywhere, so when Ellensburg residents see a tiny horse walking up and down the aisles of the local supermarket, check for panties.  It's probably just Rosie.


The Filly With The Panties of Red by Genie
(Tune - "Surrey With the Fringe On The Top" - Rodgers & Hammerstein)

Intro:
When you visit Washington with me,
In the town of Ellensburg you'll see
A mini'ture goat, and other pets of all persuasions
At the homestead of Jen and Cherry!

Verses:
"Fat Butt" goat and geese come a running,
Then you see the horse, oh, so cunning,
In her fancy pants, oh, so stunning all in silken red!

Watch that lace and see how it flutters,
While around the town Rosie putters,
As her human, Cherry, she chaufeurs
Past the traffic stop!

Bridge:
Her buckles are yeller, her blanket's brown,
Her bridle's Corinthian leather,
Her silky panties are quite reknowned

All red and lacy -- so clever!

Verse:
Sidekick piggies are winkin' and blinkin
At the guests, and, sure, they're a thinkin'
"Awf'lly pow'rful stuff I been drinkin' -- it, for sure, warn't milk!"
When they spy that mini filly with the red drawers of silk!

Intro Reprise:
"Did you say her pants was made of silk?"
"Rosie wouldn't have no lesser ilk!"
"Does she really sport a leather 'bridle-corset'?"
"Does a dark brown cow give choc'late milk?"

Verse:
'Round the town ol' Cherry can scurry,
Whether cruisin' or in a hurry,
With his clever guide horse so furry, in her drawers of red!

When they venture out from the stable
Out to dinner, Rosie is able
To hang out, so cool, 'neath the table
Till they've all been fed.

Bridge:
When Cherry whistles, she comes running along--
The other critters move over--,
As Rosie whispers her equine song
And goes wherever he drove 'er.

Verses:
"What a horse!" "I swan! " "Did you ever
See a guide companion so clever?"
Don't ya kinda wish you could 'ave 'er?
'Cause she's so well bred,
That funny little filly with the panties of red!

When the prairie sky's gettin cloudy
Or the house guests start gettin' rowdy,
Little Rosie, she knows just how tae make it right instead--
Such a funny little filly with the panties of red!

When we hit the road after supper,
We've no need for downers or uppers--
Cats and ducks and a litter of 'puppers',
And a goat well-fed,
They'll all dance with the filly with the panties of red!
