Horsey Update

By Erin

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted anything about the horses. Big, Vinny and Purple are all doing well and happy and silly as ever as you can see here. 😉

In April we took Big to Copper Meadows in Ramona to a clinic and a one day show! He came in 2nd place! 🙂

Medieval Times: Special March Madness Discounted Tickets! Hurry! @MedievalTimesCA

Medieval Times

By Erin

*Medieval Times will be providing me with two tickets to come and enjoy the show. All thoughts and opinions remain my own. =)*

Medieval Times has always been a special place to me as long as I can remember. I remember going as a child and being in awe of all the majestic horses, knights and princesses. As an adult it has been a fun place to go with friends and family to celebrate a birthday, other special occasion, or just for the fun of it!

Right now they are having a special March Madness deal! ALL SEATS are ONLY $28! (This offer expires 3/31/2014 and is not valid at their New Jersey or Dallas castle) So if you are looking for a fun Sunday Funday activity or a fun place to grab dinner and a show at tomorrow on Monday night for a super cheap price of only $28, check out your nearest Medieval Times! For those of us in Southern California, that would be their Buena Park location which is right around the corner from Knotts Berry Farm.

Horsing Around in Circle D

Horsing Around in Circle D

*I was recently part of a fun Blog Swap, where some of the lovely ladies from the SoCal Lady Blogger Group decided that we would see what it was like to blog in someone else’s shoes. You will see my post about Grace posted up on Megan’s blog, Sunshine Wonderland in the near future. Mindy from Budget Fairy Tale was chosen to guest post for me. The most obvious thing I could think of to ask Mindy to write about for me was about horses, given that’s part of my blog’s name and something I felt wouldn’t be too difficult to ask someone to write about. Well, Mindy had the brilliant  idea to join our loves for Disneyland with my love for Horses to create this wonderful post. I hope you enjoy learning about the horses of Disneyland as much as I did!*

Hi everyone! My name is Mindy and I blog at Budget Fairy Tale. I want to thank Erin for having me on Horsing Around in L.A. today! Since I love writing about Disneyland, and Erin loves writing about horses, it only made sense for me to combine our loves and write a little bit about the Disneyland horses!

If you’re a long time resident of L.A. then no doubt you have been to Disneyland, probably multiple times. I’m sure you are familiar with the gorgeous Disneyland horses that pull the street cars. The same horses also lead Cinderella’s Carriage at Disneyland weddings! But have you ever thought about where they go at night? It’s not like the Mickey and Minnie costumes that can be placed on a shelf or hung in a closet. Live animals need careful care and attention, of course. That’s why Disneyland has a full working ranch on property called Circle D!
