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 Red Satin Horse Underall by DonD
(To the tune of "The Rackets Round the Blue Mountain Lake")

Come all you young fellows, in Washington State,
There's a wonderful tale I'm about to relate:
About a tail, loin, croup, dock, stifle and all,
Encased in a red satin horse underall.

Derry down, down, down, derry down.

It happened in Ellenburg, a nice little town,
That's where you'll find this horse of renown;
Rosie's her name, she's but two feet tall,
And her fame is her red satin horse underall.

Derry down, down, down derry dowm.

She's not just a hussy, flaunting her rump,
With an equine grind and a bump;
She has a great heart tho' her body is small,
There's much more to Rosie than her red underall.

Derry down, down, down derry down.

No matter how fancy the pants on her behind,
Her raison d'etre is serving the blind.
She learned of the need and she answered the call
To lead one who can't see her red underall.

Derry down, down, down derry down.

All hail Seeing Eyes and their colleagues, of course,
But few know the tale of the seeing eye horse;
'Tis a tale of wonder that never will pall --
Tiny Rosie in her red satin horse underall.

Derry down, down, down derry down.

As she looks back past her withers, what does she see?
Some horse's ass in fine red lonjeree!
And she kicks up her heels -- Life is a ball
If you're Rose in her red satin horse underall.

Derry down, down, down derry down.
