Any of you guys been caught out yet

or planning on catching someone out

Or anyone have any classics from other years their willing to share? xx
 
I remember one year I went out hacking, got back, rode 3/4 way down the drive, got off, took 1 stirrup off, wonky-fied the saddle, and sent my good old cob off the rest of his way, to the stable to greet my mum.

Of course the idea been that she would panick emensley, and rush out to look for me, and I would greet her with april fools on the way down the drive.

Mother however had other plans and waited untill she had fully untacked/groomed/fed the horse before she even contemplated coming to find me

"wanted to give me chance to walk back, or ring her" apparently

Backfired...much LOL? xx
 
lol

I was working last year and when i came home my mum asked me to go on the net as she'd seen that morning on GMTV (i think) a weight loss tablet that had amazing results.
bless her it was an april fools joke lol
 
A make friend told me he was gay, so I said "thank frank for that, you're an ugly git and I was terrified you fancied me ... "

I can hardly remember what my name is, never mind what day/date it is ...
 
A few years ago I friend told me of the yard that she was on the grooms had put all the ponies in the horses stables and horses in the ponies stables YO thought it was very funny when she found a sheltland in her Shire crosses stable.
 
Last year my other half phoned me and told me our dog had just had 2 pups in his van, (she had put alot of weight on), i went mad because she had the 'op' 4 months ago as her having pups could kill her, (too old). So i phoned the vets, and, lets just say i wasnt very polite in telling them they hadnt done the op properly LOL.

He then phoned and said April fools!!! He couldnt believe i phoned the vets lol.

I did quickly phone them back and say sorry lol, hes a bugger!!
 
I was in Germany trying a horse ( the chestnut in my sig) when my husband rang me and told me a strong gust of wind had taken the roof of some of the stables. I was horrified and was gibbering about how were the horses, was anyone injured. He burst out laughing, I swore and hung up!
 
I bought a trick letter from ebay which I had them send to my best friend on 1st of April. It was a very official looking letter saying they had implemented a road tax for riding on a public highway. She rang round her local hacking friends to see if they'd got one too!!
 
My yard manager called me this morning to tell me my coloured mare was having a foal. I fell for it hook line and sinker!! My mare is not in foal but has put some weight on. I very nearly burst into tears as im telling my boss I have to go to the stables URGENTLY!! Just wait til next year
 
The best I have ever done was when I was working at the vets. We had two castrations in the morning, a small pony and a very large horse. We took the two big testicles and one of the small ones and put them in the same bucket and told all the vet students that the horse had an undescended third testicle. They went off all excited to ask the surgeon all about it

Got OH this morning - but only for about 15 seconds. Went in with my phone saying I had a voicemail from YO that there was a foal in Farra's stable when he got up there this morning.

Should have done it as he woke up as he did bite but then brain engaged.
 
Last year my bf got me big time. I was having problems with my new mobile contract and was very unimpressed with their service etc. I got a phone call of someone with a strong southern accent (not our usual manc one
wink.gif
) saying my bill had not gone out and they would be taking me to court if it was not paid immediately. So off i went on a massive rant about how it was probably their fault because they're all incompetent idiots.... Turns out it was some guy from his work, and the whole office was laughing at me... great.

The next time someone from 3 rang though i refused to believe it was not a joke.... the guy was very confused. In the end he gave up lol.
 
I got a text from my friend this morning saying she and her husband were expecting a baby and she's due in November! She's done something like this before and so I replied saying 'haha, April fool!'. She replied telling me well done, and that she was about to text the mother-in-law!
