Tate has wormed himself into my heart even though he is the biggest drama-queen with sore feet in the world. I was updating his owner on the adventures of Remus and Tate (sent her the Olympic trials video of the new sport bitey face) and she sent me some photos of Tate from the few years past just being Tate. Of course note HOW clean he was in those prior years. NO not this mud-encrusted beast. Not him…. But to be fair he is so well mannered and easy going compared to the fat buckskin that shall not be named that Tate is pretty much my favorite now. LOL Sue me Remus.

I just had to share these photos (photos credits go to either Allison Rayburn or Mary Grayson Fauser). They own Tate and love to see that his fan club is expanding! Just you wait to see these photos! Those Tater Tot fans (I know you are out there!) will just be amazed. Without further adieu….Tate.





Going back through their facebook pages made me realize that Tate was quite the little pony hunter in his day till he decided the show life was NOT for him. So see he may be mild and meek here at the farm but he had his days!! SO CUTE!! I want a million ponies here I tell you.

Who else wants to collect ponies for a living? I know they can be ornery but they are so darn cute!! I found the cutest appy mini nearby that DROVE and Emily had to talk me out of getting it (her point was umm its an appy and ummm you will lose that mini in your deep ass mud). Voice of reason, her! 🙂


He’s adorable! And yes, I love ponies too! How old is Tate now?

pretty sure he is the same age as Remus (15 or going on 16) they got him in 2012 i think but he was not enjoying show life. He won everything BUT he was very sour on jumping so he was retired…..

One of the Trainers I’m looking at for boot camp is the person who bought and has Nash. How funny to end up seeing him all the time again.

So cute! I guess I will stop complaining about my mud again but ugh why must they always make new mud spots and then roll in them. Seriously they look homeless sometimes. Or just natural…
