I Spy, with my little Pony Eye ...

SOMETHING THAT'S GONNA KILL US! RUN! RUN! QUICK!

I think Angel likes April Fools Day or something! the petrifying device in question was gate that we pass on the bridlepath very often. Nothing about the gate had changed. Next thing I know it's all heads in the air, ears pricked and a turn-on-a-sixpence later we're bolting towards home, I've lost a stirrup and the saddle is somewhat at the wrong angle :rolleyes:

Once they'd stopped, they refused to go past the lethal spot. Cue some 'pony club gone wrong' style action. We swore, we kicked on, we jumped off and tried to lead, more swearing .... THANK GOD nobody saw us. must have been quite a sight, two grown women, one on a little pony, the other on an ancient Arab trying to these horses to MOVE ...

Can't wait for the summer fields to open, Madam is getting a bit full of herself lately :D

[notpoodle]

made her TROT past it on monday though! she didnt like it but realised there wasn't a lot she could do as i was determined to get her past the thing and it was far easier to just do it :D

We had a similar issue with a CORNER the weekend before last. Oh no, a CORNER, couldn't possibly go round that. Happily for me Fluke doesn't really do bolting -- he would definitely class that as a waste of valuable energy. But he does a good line in being an immovable object. Our tussling provided much entertainment for passing motorists -- at one point he was reversing down the road with me, on foot, hanging determinedly onto the reins, my boots sliding over the tarmac -- thanks Mountain Horse, I thought those fat soles were supposed to grip.

Next day took him round it again to demonstrate the problem to his owner -- slowed down imperceptibly, made no other protest.

Took him round on it on Saturday, he paid it no attention whatsoever.

The Comedy Pony strikes again!

Yep we had a moment caused by a BIG SCARY HORSE EATING.............twig:p last night, resulting in a big 16.2 horse going backwards at 90mph and nearly ending up in a river:D wouldn't mind but the big soft git had walked past it the day before

i laughed out loud when i read your post NP, does the owner of the little pony eye have any welsh in her? she sounds cheeky and cute enough to :)

[teabiscuit]

i just read your good girlie thread-she's exmoor!
don't know much about exmoors but she's very cute and has a lovely eye :D

Now I have been very reliably informed my old horse Grady that gates want to kill horses, he was always reminding me of this:rolleyes:

It's lucky we have them to keep us straight on these matters, isn't it Bobbin? I don't know how we manage when we're out and about without them... :D (I suspect they wonder the same!)

[notpoodle]

yep, 100% pure exmoor :D but, fear not, she *is* a good girlie 99.9% of the time!

Must be something in the air. Wizard did 'Elvis legs' at a discarded tyre on Saturday- we only have about a thousand of them all over the yard!:o
Ponies eh?

We've had A gigantic horse eating from-the-lowest-depths-or-hell whipping in a force 10 gust... leaf. ponies. how brilliant ;)

Hmm, Cassie almost gave me whiplash the other day because a very scary brown shetland pony appeared in a gateway! :eek: Scary stuff!

My old pony Middy was terrified of white things (bags, signs, paint on the road, rocks)
