A very scary tree---by the Spooky Pony

[spookypony]

Today was an exciting day. The Carrot Lady and I went to the square place with a roof on, where we go to do lots of circles and things. But before we went in there, we went through the narrow place that is beside the stall of the mean black-and-white horse that always tries to bite me. And here something horrible happened! A really really big branch came after me! I didn't know it was a branch, at the time, I only saw that later, when I had it on the ground. It was about as long as I am tall, and it was thicker than my legs! And very branchy!

So anyway, it came after us, so I had to run really really fast to get away from it, and then it finally dropped away when I turned, but the Carrot Lady dropped away too.

I tried to go home then, but someone else stopped me, so I had to go in the square place and do loads of circles and starting and stopping and cantering and stopping and stuff. Then we went home.

The confusing thing was though that the Carrot Lady was talking about "Christmas Tree Lights" being on the scary branch, and that being the reason why it chased us. I didn't see anything bright and colourful, though??

And lights don't have feet, normally, do they?

Then she said that I was a conservative pony, because I was trying to save my life and ran right, while she was liberated from the saddle, and flew left. I don't get what that's all about, either, even though she didn't fall on her head this time.

The good news is that I haven't been in pony jail in quite a while now!

Dear Spooky Pony,

Tree's are scarey things. The ones in my field dance in the wind. Ollie cow pony in the field next to mine is scared of them too, so dont feel bad!
Rugs scare me too, especially ones that have sparkles on them. My mum likes things that sparkle, so I think she must be one of those bird things that collect shiney stuff.
I dont want a sparkly rug!!!!
No idea what conservative is, maybe as its to do with wings (my mum says so!) its about birds again!
Love Little Stig

Dear Spooky

My two Mums sold me to a lovely new lady on Sunday but only problem is there's a 30ft father christmas in the field next to me and lots of lots of those branchy christmas tree things. The big fat man had better not come my way otherwise I may have to sharpen my teeth and then he'd be off like a rocket!!!

Just remember Spooky you're the boss and treat these things with the contempt they deserve

Dear Spooky,

Mum has moved me to a new place and whilst it is great on the carrot (we get a big net delivered every week) front they are mad!

On Saturday they started wrapping green bushes round the the beams of the bedroom roof They then added red stuff that sort of glistens then lots of little shiny things sometimes the little shiny things flash on and off!! just as I was getting over this they brought in a a big green branch and covered it in little shiny flashing things as well when it is dark you can see all the little things flashing away!

I got my own back though if I stand on tippy hooves and stretch my top lip I can just reach a piece of the fluffy red sparkling stuff and pull it down and on Sunday I took a grab at the big branchy thing to see if I could eat it.

Double choc lab.....watch the fat dude he sounds very dodgy!
