And then it happened. While at a thrift store with hubs, I found not one but TWO adult sippy cups for a whooping $0.49 each.
Welcome to the far west chapter of adult pony club.
The rules are simple: someone brings alcohol. We fill the amazing sippy cups. We toodle and talk and laugh. We don't care if you know what a stock tie is or how to hang a haynet or if your tack is clean.
We started with margaritas because a celebration was in order, but I've noticed the other chapters use wine, mimosas, or whatever is appropriate to an occasion.
I'd always thought adult pony club was a brilliant idea. Now that I've started my own chapter, I can tell you it's the best idea yet.
YAS. I love this <3
ReplyDeleteI need adult pony club in my life. Sadly my drinking buddies are the BO and farrier and while they are fun dudes to hang out with they don't do the whole riding thing.
ReplyDeletePreeeeeetty sure Emma and I already started offshoots in MD/DC.
ReplyDeleteWe should put together an annual conference.
DeleteThis! Also, how far are you from Fair Hill? I'm about an hour north, and I'm absolutely dying to go there.
DeleteI'm about 3 hours away, but that doesn't mean I'm not up for a drive! (I actually work shows there pretty regularly!)
DeleteI so want to work a show there! But, every time I see them asking for volunteers I always have something else scheduled. :(
DeleteI would go to a conference.
DeleteConferences for all. We discuss important thematic divergences in the relative attributes of sippy wine cups. Mandatory attendance and such.
DeleteAnd also why Austen is stealing the beer.
DeleteSome sippy cups dribble. We need to establish a task force to thoroughly test all models.
DeleteI'm in. I also nominate Shannon. Who else wants to test sippys?
DeleteSomeone tell me what to buy....errrr, test... and I'm in for being on the Adult Pony Club Testing Committee 😀 I'm interested in becoming the Missouri rep 😉
DeleteI would like to test sippys, for I will need to know the best one to contain my stolen beers. ;)
DeleteFantastic idea! Perfect execution! I'll work on and San Diego chapter!
ReplyDeleteI'll start an OH chapter hahaha
DeleteI love all of this! Now I have a name for it -- adult pony club sounds much classier than just having a drink at the barn.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds perfect. i need one of these in my life.
ReplyDeleteoh my god this NEEDS to be a thing
ReplyDeleteProudly representing Adult Pony Club, South Jersey Chapter! I'm totes making this a tag on my blog now. Also, do the kids still say "totes", or is that not cool anymore?
ReplyDeletetotes. also i will be joining your south jersey chapter, we should find sippy wine cups
DeleteI got mine at the Bed Bath and Beyond in Millville Also, the Southwind Vineyard Hunter Paces usually sell them.
DeleteIt never occurred to me that you could buy them at normal stores. What a great idea!

DeleteAmazon has them by the case! Now, we just need a logo. I've got a friend who does vinyl stickers.....
OMG please do this.
DeleteYES LOGO and there needs to be some kind of website or something
Deleteand then you'd always have people to drink vino out of tumblers and do hunter paces with
(side note, etsy has the wine sippy cups too and you can have them monogrammed)
YAS.
DeleteThose cups are amazing.
ReplyDeleteYes!!
ReplyDeleteCannot tell you how badly I want to join and how much I love this idea.
ReplyDeleteYou should! Or start a branch with Sarah and I'll be jealous of you.
DeleteIs there a specific method for haynet hanging? I got sidetracked by that thought. I always just sort of tie it to the fence.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah. Kid Pony Club is mega picky about that stuff.
DeleteOh good, now I can give a classy name to what I otherwise just call "day drinking with horses." I'm now considering myself a member of the Pacific Northwest Chapter of the Adult Pony Club!
