Emo Pony is destined to travel through the misty and cold fog of existence alone and cold.
Emo Pony is going to put on his tight, itchy wool sweater and contemplate the failure of humanity.
Emo Pony isn’t afraid to express himself with a forelock that covers 3/4 of his face at an angle.
Life is hard for Emo Pony.

What a beautiful photo. I love horses.
I love horses so much too! Last Fri. I met a huge black horse and within 10 seconds he gently nuzzled my neck. First time I’ve ever been gently nuzzled by a horse, I melted in to a puddle of joy.
only b/cuz you probably didn’t ever know the yumminess previously, of being nuzzled by a horsie.

Too cool. Lucky gal!
Horse noses are among the softest things on ERFF.
beautiful Icelandic horse, the best in the world — and Iceland is beautiful too
I think so, too! Spent a month there (July).
Where’s his sweateuw??
Prolly in the ocean!!
OMG Snicker!
ROTFL! Best retort, hands down.
Must’ve been a great sweater too.
Made from the wool of Icelandic sheep, no doubt!
Just what I was thinking. Lol!
Wonder if they were sad too? Awww.
There is no finer or more beautiful animal on this earth than the Icelandic horse. I’m a big USA city dweller but I get to Iceland as often as i can to get up close and personal with these horses ; once met, forever loved. Thanks Sverrir
OMGEMOPONY!!1111!!11!!!!one!!11!eleven!!!
Any relation to Eeyore?
That makes tons of sense!!
DEEP.
Too true! Deeeeep thoughts.
Would love to know what about. Precious pones.
He should meet emo bun. I’ve got emo bun as my gmail photo.
The photographer’s last name is THOR???
(Awesome.)
Thank you Meg; that just made me laugh so hard I sprayed a mouthful of apple on my Apple keyboard! Seriously, what an incredibly beautiful photo!
Just yesterday I might a horse that belongs to a relative and commented that it was an Emo Pony because of the way the black forelock fell across his face …. and the comment was met with blinking incomprehension. *sigh* I wish everyone was a Cute Overloader.
Might = Met. *sigh*
eh-hem, sorry guys my throat is scratchy.
I’m a little horse.
The photos on the photostream are amazing–what a gorgeous collection of horses and birds. Get a load of this fuzzy horsie: http://www.flickr.com/photos/sverrir_thor/4271581169/in/set-72157625615922512

Thank you I have been trying to figure out what the intent was for the real message Google translate really mucked it up LOL.
The cow, the wife, and Christianity are all crossing their arms and “ORELY?ing” in unison right about now…
But they don’t understand. No one understands. Emo Pony.
Actually, I liked the first ….. um ….. ‘translation’ better. But that’s just me.
Wow, what a gorgeous photo!
Life is a deep dark pit, pony.
In the 1800′s, many small ponies were used for pulling carts of ores & coal in cramped mine spaces(dark pits) and died. The last mine pony died less than 100 years ago, but I can’t remember his name or he exact date(I think his name was Old Charlie or something like that. He was a Shetland.)
Meg, he looks a bit thirsty. Are ya sure he’s not standing there, waiting for Captain John Jamison and his barrel of whiskey to emerge from the surf?
*giggle*
Hope springs eternal!
I love that commercial. Just because they use music that’s also found on the soundtrack to “Master and Commander.”
I wonder if Emo Pony would have gotten along with New Wave Pony and that naughty Punk Pony would have been a bad influence on them. Also, where’s his scarf?
and his skinny jeans!!
HAW!
OMG, it’s a Thelwell Pony!!

Hesturinn! \o/
Revolutionary pony, Trotsky, stands on the shore, envisioning the rise of the foaletariat.
Stop! Stop it NOW! You are hurting my head.
Bows Down in AWE!
I bow down to EMO pony.
Neigh-geois!
Hope this Trotsky doesn’t get to Mexico then.
Stay in Neighico.
Emo Pony’s got nothing on Honey Badger.
Honey Badger just takes what he wants!
Honey Badger don’t give a f**k!
Watch your mouf!
I spent one of the happiest afternoons of my life riding an Icelandic horse. Thank you, Saelli!
Yes I have fond memories of riding an Icelandic horse over the lava fields in winter no less. Then it was off to the Blue Lagoon for some outdoor nighttime hotspring swimingks. I loved Iceland and can’t wait to go back.
I went to Blue Lagoon before it ever became a spa. It was just in the middle of nowhere…no people. First place I ever skinny-dipped! Can you say 1984?
*MEG — I for one, never knew that you had deep depths of existentialism in your soul!! I thought that only Theo and NTM had dark and stormy clouds in their cerebelli or cerebellums or grey matter!!!!*
CereBelly.
Totally my thoughts at work today, dude…….but now I feel better after cruzin’ CO!
This makes me want to compose an epic saga, about ponies.
He really does look very, very deep and contemplative. Poor, misunderstood Emo Pony.
{le sigh}
Wait a minute. He lives at the beach.
total ref to my ABSOLUTE-FAVORITE-CO-POST-OF-ALL-TIME, emo bun!!!!
(ok, it’s really hard to pick a favorite, but….)
thanks, meg!

Oh forlorn pony! Someone bring him a bouquet of flowers.
ooooo “forlorn” !!!11!!!
*Cool Vocab. Cherce du Jour* Award!!!111!!!
Luscious mane-hance, luscious mane-hance!
No seriously – that’s a mah-velous looking mane. And remember Emo-Pony – it’s better to look good than to feel good.
LOL!
Billy Crystal as Fernando Lamas, on SNL!!!!
Yup, you got it!
And Emo-Pony looks good, but he still needs a hug.
Emo Bun should get together with this one
I stand at the edge
The frozen water is cold
I am alone
the wind sweeps my sides
in desolation
I am
bereft.
signed Icelandic emo pony
*clap clap* well done!
Maybe Emo-Pony isn’t sad…Maybe he just has writer’s block. His last CD was ice hot and now he’s feeling the pressure to be even better. Huge-er! Heck, maybe he’ll even crack the American charts this time. A pony can wish…dream.
Like Emo Bunny, Emo Pony perpetually mourns his lack of an opposable thumb, which prevents him from cutting himself. Poor, misunderstood Emo Pony!
shhh, member last time, beth. best not to use the c-word ’round here…
He’s not emo, he’s just pining for the fjords
*delighted snerk*
What none of you simple hoo-mans understand is that Emo Pony dosen’t just FEEL sad – Emo Pony IS the horse-sonification of sad.
But only the cool kinda sad; you know, all bohemian and aloof, like a stick-bug model contemplating a giant cheese danish = lotsa contempt there, but with some longing. Yeah, thats it!
Don’t pity Emo Pony; Emo Pony pities YOU ’cause you just don’t get it (huffy flip of 3/4 face forlock).
I WANT TO GO TO THERE.
Me too. The photo is just gorgeous. And there’s ponies.
I’ll take a pony over your average emo any day!
**some Leonard Cohen minimalism/ music would do well with this*
totally!
and someone to feed me tea and oranges that come all the way from china…
Clearly Emo Pony just needs someone to love and understand her.
DONE!!!
Where do I sign up, Emo Pony???
Yes, clearly! End of the line begins here…
Emo Pony looks like the moorland ponies we have here in Cornwall. Lovely shot!
I understand you, Emo Pony!! Let’s go hang out with Eeyore.
Emo Bun might accuse Emo Pony of being a poser, but I thought this post was hilarious.
EU TE ENTENDO!
If you call a Viking horse a pony among Icelanders, be prepared for disapproval. That there is literally a Viking horse. Viking horses rock.
