Spartacus Goes To Sullivan Canyon

On Wednesday the 22nd, Spartacus, Pippi. Lovable and myself went to Sullivan Canyon and performed for the kids of Hoover Elementary. It was a fun event filled with many activities for the kids. It was a day with horses for them. The end of their visit was spent with Spartacus and myself. Here are some snap shots of the day.


A quick pep talk before the kids get ready to sit and watch.

Spartacus introduces himself.

We start things off with a BANG! My favorite behavior. He looks so awesome!

Woo Hoo! The kids love it!

He gets so excited to Hoola!

Our Basket ball star rises up for a pretend slam dunk! Look at him raise that basket ball above me!

You can't keep a good horse down! Here he is racing for that jump!

And JUMP!

Look at that form!

We take a moment to demonstrate how important it is to throw our trash away in it's proper place. Hankie in mouth, he approached the trash can.

One carefully placed hoof and the lid flips open and ....

YEAH! The hankie gets thrown away in the trash! That deserves a standing ovation!

And now the difficult, lay down and roll over!

Great job Spartacus! Take a bow!

Now it's time to meet and greet the adoring public.

Phew! It's time to take a breather now that it's all over and just relax... Spartacus style!

Credit needs to be given to Pippi. She was a great example of the difference between horses and donkies.

This is one of her best behaviors... she can really push that ball far!

It time to meet and greet the kids.

Ah! So much love!

I'd like to thank my good friend Lee M., who rescued me by showing up with camera in hand, ready and willing to take these great photos! Thank you Lee. As always, clicking on the photo will make it larger. I would also like to thank the lovely people at Sullivan Canyon for having us! It was a lot of fun!
