A bit of april fun with my new horsey - *Short Video*

[skychick]

I just had to put a vid up of me and my new pony having some fun over a course of jumps last weekend.
He is such a dream to jump and he really enjoys it! But spot the jump where he was totally distracted by a friends horse going out to the field ;-)

[redcascade]

Lovely ponio Looks like you had lots of fun

 

[Thelwell_Girl]

Aww he's gorgeous! What breed/age/size is he?

 

[skychick]

Thank you, he is a little sweetie....when he wants to be ;-)

Managed to persuade/barter with the other half to bring his video camera to the yard....in return that i did a bbq that afternoon...quite a good deal i reckon!!

 

[skychick]

thanks thelwell_girl
He is an irish sports x cob, 12 years old and 14.2hh

 

[Thelwell_Girl]

Perfect size for me, gorgeous too! Now where's my pony-stealing kit...

 

[skychick]

:-O tut tut thelwell_girl!!!

Im afraid you wouldnt get him too far.....he is not the keenest on hacking out alone unless you are firm and have superglue on your jodphurs!! ;-) so i dont think i will padlock his stable door just yet! :-D

Not before me you dont! He looks lovely - i love those fun jumping sessions, I dont get to jump often only when I go home so when I do, i cram in as much as poss!

Ahh but will he follow a bucket of carrots?!

 

[skychick]

Ahh but will he follow a bucket of carrots?!

......oh most definately not......he hates carrots

 

[Cavblacks]

......oh most definately not......he hates carrots

Nice try!

 

[skychick]

Nice try!

Lol! think i might put that padlock on just incase.....or paint his white patches brown!

 

[LauraWheeler]

Yay go Paddy. Looks like you where having a wonderful time and nice to see him behaving himself. Keep up the good work with him he's gonna be lovely.

Ah, sticky-bum joddies I don't have I do tend to fall off at the funniest moments, so maybe no pony stealing yet!

 

[skychick]

Go paddy indeed!
Thanks Laura, we did have a nice time! I have decided now that in order to get paddy going out for a hack on his own without a tantrum i need to put jumps on the road for about the first 2 miles of a hack!! He would certainly go forwards without a fuss then lol!!

 

[skychick]

@thelwell_girl......Phew! i shall breathe a sigh of relief and will sleep well knowing that paddy will not have dissapeared in the middle of the night!

Well unless he opens his stable door himself......but thats another story ;-)

 

[Cavblacks]

I like brown horses too

 

[skychick]

I like brown horses too

He he! Dam........ *quickly tries to think up another plan*!!!

Luckily we have about another 8 or 9 coloured horses on the yard.....so there is a good chance Cavblacks will pick the wrong one!

We wont mention that all of the others are over 16hh!

LMAO!

Well I won't tell Skychick that the HHC have a 16 horse lorry . . . . . . flutter eyelashes at soldier, nick keys and DRIVE!

Now, do you think 9 coloured horses would stand out in a yard off over 100 black horses? Hmmm

 

[skychick]

LMAO!

No not at all i doubt anyone would notice

A sixteen horse lorry.......blimey that must struggle getting up steep hills!

 

[smellsofhorse]

Now that sounds like a plan! Hmm, where's my mascara....

 

[skychick]

Eeek.....im going to turn him out in a field of dairy cows! you would never spot him then ;-)
Or paint him with camoflage paint!

You'd think, but it is the smartest thing I have seen! I have a photo of it somewhere I'll pop it up later! Very jealous but I dont think her majesty will mind me borrowing it for a night to add to her lovely horse collection

Awesome I have a partner in crime! Welcome on board
