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.

If I Were A Seeing-Eye Pony! by MMario
(Tune: If I were the King of the Forest)

If I were a seeing eye pony, Not monkey, nor dog or such ilk
My garb as a seeing eye pony , would be blanket, and harness of silk.
And beneath all that lot, the panties I've got.
Are bright scarlet , with flounces and frills - Yes! frills!
As I do my best job, all the flounces they bob
And the tourists stare as I strut my wares
And the traffic stops just for me!- I am the sexy pony!
Everyone must show respect to me.
Passerbys they genuflect to me.
And my tail will whip, As I show my slip
And every underthing
I am such a sexy pony!
Sexy pony!
