Can I just say....

Thank the Lord that it's not just me!! I do regard myself as a very stable mature person...but I have to confess to this. I got them all out once to take to a car boot but I couldn't bring myself to do it. So they are back in a black bag (suffocating I know) on top of my wardrobe! :D:D

Sorry i digress...

I've just put a bagful in the loft for the same reason - poor cold teddies :( I may have to go and rescue them!

My horse (Mummys most gorgeous boy) has lots of sweeties, the other day he did a oopie woopers on the yard, he wears a blankie and sometimes I call him Pookie :o

Oh god... OP will hate me also then! LOL :D

Rug is a ruggle puggle. Boots are booties. Feet are tootsies. They are naked when they have no rug. My horses are ponies. I constantly hold conversations with them and speak to them in a 'baby voice'. They go to bed of a night in their bedroom. Yes I am their mum, my mum their nan and my sister their Auntie... God the list could go on!

Although never have I used a 'duvet day' my horses are out in all weathers! Ruggle puggled up to the eye balls :D

Love this thread :D:D

This ^^^^^^^^ :D :D :D :D
Bustalot - we could be related!! :D
Except my girlies don't have bedrooms, or even houses ;) and I talk to them and they 'reply', each in their own distinctive 'voice'. My cob, Blaze, has always spoken like a three year old and she is 14 this year ( she calls haynets 'naynets' and apples are 'happles')
OP - get a grip!! It's FUNNY!! :D :D ::D
 
But I have to have conversations with my fathead, no one else will listen to my ramblings :D

Also I can kinda get away with calling him a pony because he *just* scrapes in at 15hh on his tippy toes :D
 
Ok I may be bonkers but when I'm greeted on the yard by neighing I think it's polite to shout back "hellloooooo my darlings". I couldn't care less if other people think it's daft :D
 
My horse is called the big grey pet :) and also referred to as my sons brother ;) and don't even get me started with how I talk to my girls ( the dogs ) lots of duvet days and blankys ( blankets ) oh and the BGP is also the dogs big brother :)
 
My filly is referred to as "our little girl" by oh and I...

Feed is breakfast and dinner...

And I always greet her by saying "hello sweetie!"... Am I in the bad camp?

Love it :D

I used to be really quite sensible, but seem to be going a bit doolally in my old age (:p). Pony (always pony, I don't like the word horse) is referred to as Pony; the little ginger one; Ginger (rhymes with singer); Munchkin; Monster; nutcase; ginger nut; sweetie; Lad... etc.

He also comes to call and responds to both 'Pony' and 'Here boy!' :o.

He has a manicure when the farrier comes and anyone else who visits his is 'Auntie' (this was started by the lady in the next door stable referring to herself as his 'Auntie Y'... It just stuck.
Shinpads are worn for roadwork and nail varnish (Effol) to protect his hooves. Which I have to admit I often call feet :eek::eek:

He sometimes sleeps in a bedroom with toys and wears PJs when it's really cold.

Not a 'human' term but I also say 'mush' to get him to go faster when in a silly mood :)


More alarming (and probably more likely to get me in trouble) is the number of times I use horse terms to refer to children :o:o
 
I call my lot 'kids'. As in 'night kids, mummy loves you'. Do it to the dogs too. And I do the pj thing. Not come across horse duvet days but old mare has a day in a week to chill and rest so we'll be adopting that phrase!
 
Oh dear... Mine had a 'snuggle day' in his 'house' today, cause it was too 'iceywicey' to go out... well until just after lunch, when I took his 'Jammies' off and put his 'Coat' on so he could go and have a 'rollypolly' in the turnout pen for an hour.

Of course he'd had his 'brekkie', and some 'sweeties' and some extra 'Munchy' (hay) to make up for being in his 'house' all morning, and when he came in, he had his 'tooties' picked out, before going to 'the classroom' (school) for some in hand work.

Naturally he had more 'Munchy' when he went back in his 'house' and when 'Mummy' 'pooperschooperd' his 'house' before 'Nun nites' he was a good 'pony' (16hh) and 'budged up' for me to get to it.... after 'dindins' he gave 'mummy' a 'kiss goodnight' and had another 'sweetie' before 'nun nites'...

I am obviously doomed... ;)
 
I went to visit my 15.1, standardbred gelding today. It was in it's pen while it's off fore leg recovers from an unknown injury. I mucked it out in silence. I then left after brushing it and putting on it's rug.

----

Of course I bloomin' didn't.
I went to see my boy Ned, who's in his bed because he's hurt himself :(
I mucked him out, while listening to music, (out loud so he can hear too) and chatted away to him. I gave him a quick scrub and got him all snuggled up again! ;)

Horses do not have "duvet days" They either stay in or go out.

Nor do they wear "pyjamas" - The term is a stable rug.

Is it only me who dislikes these silly terms? ;)

I think the vast majority of people who use these terms are the ones who stable their horses all the time because they like their horse all "tucked up in bed"...
