It’s officially 7/01/12 and I wanted to be the first one to wish our darling Gypsy a "Happy 37th Birthday!" What a girl! In honor of her day it brings us great pleasure to announce that the movie, "The Pony Man," starring Miss Gypsy, will be showing at the Vashon Theater on 7/15/12 at 1:00 p.m. (this is a Sunday) and will also be showing at the NW Film Forum in Seattle on 7/07/12 @ 3:00 p.m. We had a lot of fun participating in the whole thing, and knew from the start that Gypsy was the horse they needed in order to pull this off. We were right!
The horse scenes were all shot on Vashon (except for one) and they used many island homes, children, dog-walkers and door-slammers. In addition, Gary—the original turkey whisperer—has a small role and I get to say one word and there were many shots taken on our farm and in the store. It was all quite fun but was also a lot of work. I know that this young, talented production company really has a special fondness for Vashon Island and it would mean a lot to them if we all came out in support of their first big movie on our very special "rock."
