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.


Rosie by Horseman Browne (a/k/a) Jack the Sailor

Jack's Comments: Obviously a sad song about a roadie with questionable morals and a low self image. Lets see if we can improve it.


Well, she was standing at the race track, when we went to the course
She was way too small to be a racing horse
She was too small for a mountie, Too small to pull a sleigh
But we got her a job on that fateful day

Well, we got her a harness so she could lead the blind
But we knew we would have to cover, her behind
The more we watched walk away , The more we heard her Neigh
We knew that scarlet Knickers, were the only way

(chorus)

but Rosie you're a guide (you lead the blind)
You're to small to ride (With a Rosie behind)
when we come to red lights (You go and watch out for me)
Lets go to the restaurant tonight, Rosie

Well I don't know how the story end but I saw it begin
How Cherry got herself a guide, equestrian
With a pony guiding you, you have watch for the do
That's why she wears those panties, made of satin
