Ponies in Japan
Usually when I’m traveling, people around me here this a lot.
“Pony!”
You know, every time I see a pony… which is fairly often. Europe has tons of carriage horses. Typically you’ll see at least one farm traveling by train, and find a fat cob grazing in a field. However, Japan was pretty short on ponies.
In fact, I didn’t see a live, breathing pony the entire time. So this post is contrived, because it contains no actual ponies.
There were paper cutout ponies…
Pony armor
Uncomfortable pony saddles
Clay ponies
Ponies on buildings
Ponies in subways
Castles where ponies used to be
and robot ponies.
But no actual ponies, so I sure was ready to come home to this guy by the end of two weeks.
Japan — great country, but super low on ponies.

I just looked at the pony stalls and those flimsy little “barriers” to keep them in and thought, wow, Japanese ponies must be WAY more well-behaved because that would contain a haffie for like 2 seconds flat.
I was thinking the same thing lol – Japanese ponies must be super polite!
That sparkly robot pony is awesome 😀
I’m that person too, haha
oh man, i love the history and artifacts of the war ponies and armor, and those old stalls!
See, this would be an issue for me. Need ponies all the time.
I bet Simon was happy to see you too! He was probably wondering where you were and if you were seeing other ponies? He can rest assured, obviously you weren’t. Lol
