Sydney McCullough was trying to let her miniature horse, Willie, run out all that off-season energy Saturday at a special Christmas event at Herrmann's Royal Lipizzan Stallions.
Willie had other ideas.
He kept circling her, going as fast as he could, before he finally went to Sydney, who is the daughter of ranch owner Rebecca McCullough.
Sydney finally induced Willie to come to her side, but she lost her balance a bit and plopped down into a sitting position. Willie poked his nose into her smiling face.
Rebecca McCullough noted that the horses know when the crowds are back and they get excited about performing. So she expected her performers to be keyed up after the off season.
The crowd thoroughly enjoyed the show, even if it was a bit off the cuff. Rebecca and Sydney McCullough might think about adding it once the regular shows begin with the new season on Dec. 29. Check the schedule at HerrmannsRoyalLipizzans.com.
The Christmas event continues 3-6 p.m. Sunday and next Saturday and Sunday.
