300 pounds for a Shavings bed....What!

[Chavhorse]

Now whilst I have every sympathy with the estwhile Ms Jones that her pony has developed Lami it was this bit below that got me.

"Nicola is beside herself. She once had a horse die from laminitis and is terrified we might lose Dream too. She ordered some magnetic boots for her to wear – £50; the magnets should help the circulation – and took up her bedding of shavings (£300) and replaced it with a much firmer bedding made of hemp (another £300)."

At my rough calculation this is 35 bales of bedding!

Now either;

1. Nicola is taking the Pish

2. Armani have entered the horse bedding business

3. The unfortunate pony is stabled in a stable that is HUGE!

4. The prone to exaggeration Ms Jones assumes that the
average Daily Mail reader would beleive that it costs 300 pounds to bed down a horse.

5. The unfortunate pony is lost somewhere in a sea of hemp bedding never to be seen again.

I know stop reading the trash! in my defence I only ever read the online version on a Sunday morning with my wake up cup of coffee.

i'm going with option 5, the pony is lost at sea in a sea of hemp... poor pony.

 

[LadyRascasse]

i wonder if nicola put £30 and it was exaggerated by the jorno?

 

[embonaught]

God she is a vacuous cow. Funny how she says it's a straw bed in another of the stables... I'm not a violent person, but if there's someone whom I wouldn't get tired of punching in the head.

Not sure who is taking the drugs poor swamped in bedding pony or the mad as a hatter Ms Jones !!

 

[monkeybum13]

hahaha is all I can say. I'm going with option 5!!

 

[hannahealasaid]

I'm going with option 2 at that price!!

 

[skye_and_i]

maybe she has been smokeing some of the bedding!!!

 

[hannahealasaid]

She'd have to smoke a hell of a lot!!

 

[Chico Mio]

Well, she's got plenty

 

[MrsMozart]

Hm. Maybe bedding is now ten feet high and pone is lying squished against the ceiling?

*wobbles off to read the drivel, lareg mug of tea in hand*

I love the fact they are no longer accepting comments on that article. she really is a stupid stupid woman. she has major problems mentally and spouts such absolute drivel every week. Unfortunately she also has a page in our local paper and its the same garbage in that every week. I have no idea why the Mail pay her - I think Nicola will be loosing her reputation rapidly if anyone knows her as she is sounding as mad as Mad Lizzie!!!

 

[Digger123]

Perhaps she bought £300 worth of bedding ? Doesn't actually mean the pony is on all of it. At least she is trying to make the poor little devil comfortable.

 

[WishfulThinker]

EH??? I wouldnt even spend that on a deep litter bed all winter, and thats for like 4-5 months!

 

[wench]

she is mad!
