Can anyone explain why...

[Meowy Catkin]

... complete strangers seem to think that I should let them ride my horses (for free) and on top of that, that they are doing me a huge favour by doing so, even though I would be required to teach/supervise them?

No-one ever asks to drive my car, so what is it about horses specifically that makes people so blimmin' cheeky?

Ooh, are you offering free rides? How lovely!







😂😂 (sorry, couldn't resist x)

 

[Elf On A Shelf]

It is everyones right to have a pony ride! Apparently ...

 

[Meowy Catkin]

😂😂 (sorry, couldn't resist x)

LOL!

 

[DabDab]

Ooo ooo, on your lovely Arabs??!! Can I have a ride too?

Just tell em they are mental that's what I do

 

[ester]

will you give me tea and cake too?

 

[Lovethebeach]

Try sorry, the X colour one lay down and rolled on a person I allowed to ride breaking their legs, ribs and vertebrae, since this was the second occasion of a horse owned by me harming a person I have been banned from anyone but me riding any horses belonging to me due to insurance restrictions and threat of prosecution. In fact to be on the safe side I do not allow anyone into their fields or stables.

 

[Meowy Catkin]

You lot are terrible!

Don't you know that arabs are hot, reactive and dangerous!? If you all start coming over for rides, where will I hide all the bodies? I mean seriously, look at his wild eyes... that horse is CRAZY!

 

[Meowy Catkin]

You beat me to it LOL!

 

[Meowy Catkin]

Yes, lots of cake as long as Cally comes for a visit, Carrie would like to meet her half sister.

 

[DabDab]

Hmm, that's probably why they don't want a go in your car - the car of a crazy Arab owner would probably have a leak in the break line and a bust engine mount 😁

 

[Meowy Catkin]

Oooh you rotter... my car is mainly working just fine.

 

[Magnetic Sparrow]

Actually, you are quite far from me. Would you mind bringing your horse to my place so that I can ride it without having to travel so far?

 

[Meowy Catkin]

I'm going to run out of 'grumpy' smileys soon (hopefully they are showing up) as you are all being so utterly dreadful. I'm going to end up resorting to the bunny with the pancake on its head.

 

[SOS]

People ask to ride my horses, even when one was broken and the other a retired pony, AND they ask to drive my car!

 

[Meowy Catkin]

Blimey, you must have an extra level of cheeky in your area!

 

[JFTDWS]

Why do you think I called one of mine Daemon? They get a conveniently erroneous impression of his temperament

 

[SOS]

Think I must have mug across my forehead! I don’t know what is more scary, someone asking to hack out one of the horses or to take the “car” (Defender!) off roading. Both have a high potential of breaking and, bluntly put, are worth more financially and emotionally than a friendship!

 

[Shoei]

Have you seen most horse owners cars??!! They are probably a health hazard!!! Off the top of my head my car has in it... tack, paperwork, a parking pass from August, a ginsters pasty wrapper, an empty kfc drink, half a pack of sweets, a collection of clothing including a new black bra on the back seat on hanger! Oh and a magic tree that no longer smells! It's covered in dust and mud and bits of things.... why would anyone want to drive my car!!!!

😂

Off roading! Holy heck!

 

[tankgirl1]

The only way I could get anywhere near a pony as a youngster was by knocking on doors and asking if I could work in return for rides. If a 12 year old with the same enthusiasm knocked on my door I would consider it for sure.

 

[tallyho!]

I’m quite jealous! No one asks to ride my horse!!! I’ve no idea why since most people see me riding through the village, sometimes backwards, sometimes on the floor, have they failed to see how much fun she is? Maybe we should do more two legged riding...

 

[DabDab]

Faracat, I know that everyone started emphasising with you once you threatened the pancake bunny, but, well, it's been a long time since pancake bunny made an appearance....

 

[SadKen]

Nobody asks me if they can ride mine even though she would look after any rider. I must give off an air of unreasonableness, like Father Jack when Father Ted asks him to do mass.

 

[Meowy Catkin]

DD - very underhand tactics there! Cute puppy is just going too far!

TG - no keen children, just cheeky adults.

 

[pansymouse]

My mare and a I are the local mad old birds; people are too scared of me to ask and too scared of her to risk it.

 

[Shavings]

my mother in law is the worst! she not horsey and not even seen my horse but offers him to people i dont no!!
then her blooming grand children scream at me "granny says you are taking us riding"
i am blooming well not !

Just

Just say sure you can ride hand them tack explain it has to be cleaned first, then hand over wheelbarrow and say they need mucking out first, then say I will have need your account details to set up a direct debit for there livery each month, and smile very sweetly
