SONG CHALLENGE WINNER!

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.


Who Put The Mini Horse In Red Silk Lacy Trousers? by Genie
(Tune: Who Threw The Overalls In Mistress Murphy's Chowder by George L. Giefer)

Jen and Cherry threw a party up in Ellensburg last week,
Everything was rowdy, Jen and Cherry are not meek.
The catters gathered round to sing, to party 'round the clock,
Only then what happened next, it was an awful shock!
When Jenny Calhoun brought the entrees out,
I fainted on the spot.
I saw a horse with panties on her bottom -- kid you not!
Ol' Amos, got indignant and his eyes was bulging out.
He jumped down off the barstool, and began to loudly shout:

"Who Put The Mini Horse In Red Silk Lacy Trousers?
What's next? Some lipstick, high-heeled horseshoes and face powder?
It's a Washington disgrace! You would think she owns the place,
The Mini Horse In Red Silk Lacy Trousers!"

Amos checked the pants for fingerprints or labels from the store.
Derrymacash and Mousethief swore they'd ne'er seen them before.
They were plastered and their vision blurred,
And down upon their knees,
When they spied the name "Provocateur" so clear that all could see!
When Jen and Cherry heard the news,
They shouted out, "Oh, rot!
We bought them on the 'net, you see
Not knowing they were 'hot'!
But you'll never find a better friend than our guide horse, little Rose."
So we sang a tribute to the horse, and this is how it goes:

"We love The Mini Horse In Red Silk Lacy Trousers!
Rosie's such a cunning guide that no town should be prouder!
So it's reallly no disgrace if she thinks she owns the place,
The Mini Horse In Red Silk Lacy Trousers!"
