Blair the horse claimed he saw a creature from outer space several nights ago! Both Inspiration and AJ were sleeping at the time and he could not wake them. But he told them about it the next day.
"It was very scary," he said, " It had great big eyes that glowed in the dark!" Unfortunately that is all he saw because it was too dark to see any thing else.
So the next night, all three of the Amigos were on space creature watch. They all stayed up to keep a lookout for the creature.
Hours went by and the later it got, Blair and AJ got sleepy! And they eventually went to sleep. But Inspiration stayed awake. Then about 3 AM the creature appeared! Inspiration was scared. What was it? Those big eyes! Then it started walking toward the Amigos! Inspiation's ears were up as he was getting scared. Finally it was just a few feet away! And Inspiration shouted out: "DEER!"
Both AJ and Blair woke up quickly and looked out their window....wondering who was calling them "dear." "That is sweet," Blair said to Inspiration, "calling us dear." "I am Sweet Inspiration Blair, but I am not being sweet," Inspiration answered. "Your space creature is a deer," Inspiration said with a laugh! "See!"
They all laughed as they saw the deer running away into the woods.
Blair The Horse Sees A Space Creature!
Horse Secrets According To AJ The Horse
When the Three Amigos heard about that, AJ thought:
“ Those humans …it has only taken them thousands of years to figure that out. Don't they realize that when they bring us three carrots and they only give us two. We know there is a third carrot.
“ And that is not all we know....Let me tell you some secrets about other stuff that humans don’t know about.
The Price Of Gas
“ We know the price of gas. Blair says all he needs two flacks of hay and he has a full tank!
How To Drive
“ And we know how to drives. Inspiration says that Blair drives…he drives us all crazy with his jokes.
Two Languages
“ And we know two languages: horse talk and human talk. Although sometimes we pretend that we don’t understand human talk. Blair says he knows squirrel, cause he talked to a squirril one day. But Inspiration and I think the squirrel like Balir because he thought that Blair was nuts ( ha ha!).
Shhhhh!
“Anyways, keep all this secret between you and I. We don’t want our caretakers to think we are too smart. Besides, we got a good deal going here. How many creatures do you know have humans bringing them breakfast in bed every morning!”
Do You Believe In The Horse Tooth Fairy?
Do You Think The Horse Tooth Fairy Visited Sweet Inspiration?
Sweet Inspiration lost two of his horse teeth the other day! 
They were removed by the dentist. It hurt a little, but Sweet Inspiration was very brave. They are little teeth called "wolf teeth," which a horse doesn't need and the teeth can get in the way of the bit.
So out they came!
Is There A Horse Tooth Fairy?
When he got back to the Three Amigos' stalls he told Sir Blair and AJ what had happened. Then he said: "I don't have a pillow but I wonder if I put my two wolf teeth under the shavings in my stall tonight if the Horse Tooth Fairy will leave me something?"
Sir Blair Makes Them Laugh
Sir Blair, who always likes to joke, said: "Yeah, maybe since they are wolf teeth you will wake up and the Horse Tooth Fairy will leave you a bone! Ha Ha Ha!" AJ and Sweet Inspiration thought that Sir Blair's joke was so very funny and they laughed so hard tears came to their eyes.
Give It A Try! 
But Sweet Inspiration thought it was worth a try, so he found a nice spot in the corner of his stall and carefully put his two wolf teeth under the shavings and then he went to sleep!
What Happened?
Morning came and the minute Sweet Inspiration woke up, he remembered the teeth. Excited he removed the shavings ..... his two wolf teeth were gone! And do you know what he saw in their place?
You Gotta Have Faith!
He saw two big beautiful golden brown pears where his teeth once were! How did they get there? Was it the Horse Tooth Fairy? Sweet Inspiration knows.... but he is not telling anyone! "Sometimes you just have to have faith" he says.
What happened to the pears? Sir Blair and AJ know .... but they won't tell... The Three Amigos just smiled and licked their lips and said they can hardly wait until the next visit from the Horse Tooth Fairy!
What do you think, did it really happen?
AJ Says: My Brother Is One Funny Looking Horse!
Can You Guess What AJ's Brother Is?
AJ thinks his brother, Cowboy, is one funny looking horse.
Nah Nah
According to AJ...."My brother does not know how to talk like a horse. I keep saying to him 'no Cowboy, it is not woof woof, it is naaaaaaaaaaah, naaaaaaaaaaah.' But he refuses to listen. He is stubborn like a mule!
Hands Down
Then, he is so short. I don't think you can measure him in "hands" like you measure other horses... you have to measure him in "fingers!' ha ha!
Can You Hear Me!
And those ears! Holy Cow! What's up with those ears! They flop down instead of up like most horses. Hey Cowboy! Can you hear me now???!!!!
No Fly Swatter
Have you looked at his tail!? Man I would like to be a fly on his back. No way he can swat flies with a noodle for a tail! And he does know how to use it. All he does is wag it, whenever someone gets near him. What's up with that? I have never wagged my tail for anyone.
Seeing Is Believing
And those eyes. They are both at the front of his head. Not at the side like other horses. He has to turn his head every time he wants to look around. I can see in front and on both sides without turning my head.
Scratch It!
Finally no one ever taught him good balance. What horse has to sit down to scratch. I mean, you have three good legs to stand on, why sit on the cold ground!
Puppy Love
Wow! Everything is so unlike a horse with him! What a dog! Hmmmm....maybe he is not a horse. He is different. But he is my brother, and I love him! "
Inspiration Turns Mud Into Fun!
He says. " it is always good to be positive! "Sure life is full of mud but instead of complaining about it, I roll in it!"
"You should try it! It is fun! The next time life gives you a big paddock of mud. Don't think poor me, my life if surrounded by mud. Instead, look for something good in the mud, and make the most out of it! HAVE FUN!"
"And, even if you get all covered with the mud, someone will come along, and will help you groom that mud right off of you!"
Sir Blair's Tips For A Happy Ride!
Of all the The Three Amigos, Sir Blair has had more experience in riding lessons than the other two combined. Over the years, he has taught hundreds of children (and even some adults) how to ride.
With all that experience, he has put together a helpful list of good horsemanship. As Sir Blair says with a chuckle: "It is all a matter of good horse sense!"
Sir Blair's Tips For Good Horsemanship
- Be Patient with yourself and the horse.
- Don't pull too tight on the reins, the bit can hurt
- Give your horse a pat now and then; your horse will appreciate the attention
- Stay focused, the horse needs to know where you want to go at all times
- Remember it is a team effort between you and the horse so make sure you work together.
- Don't forget the horse has feelings just like you do, so be kind at all times.
- Bring a carrot for a reward at the end of the ride. Horses like treats just like you!
Above all, have FUN and your horse will too!
