Can't quite believe my eyes...

This is my 20 year old son, who is not the slightest bit horsy. In fact, he goes out of his way to stay as far away from them as possible. I said "Fancy coming to help me poo pick?" earlier, and much to my astonishment he said "Yeah - ok".

I wonder what he wants!

 

[milliepops]

dunno but can you share him around for a bit before you find out whatever it is? Could always do with a hand with the poo picking

 

[Britestar]

Money. Its always money. Or he crashed the car . Lol

He is better off than me!
He has just said he'll invoice me later. I think he's joking, but I wouldn't put it past him!

I'll send him your way. You can keep him as long as you like!

It was when I suggested to my son that he would have to do more of the care including pooh picking for his cob that he gave up, from that very day

Sounds about right! Charlie was very keen when he was younger - had his first pony at 4, and his second at 6 - but as soon as I started expecting him to help look after them, he lost interest! He's now 6"3 and 17 stone, so I'm quite pleased he doesn't want to ride!

Has he got a new girlfriend? Could he have decided he needed to do more exercise to loose a little weight/get fitter?

 

[WandaMare]

lol you can tell by the way he is dressed and standing that he is in an unfamiliar environment he looks far too clean and tidy.

Haha! My son loathes horses and anything to do with them. If he volunteered to poo pick I'd start suspecting a shape shifting alien had body swapped with him! I could pay him to do it but he'd be very expensive as he would add a 'horse tax' to his normal bob-a-job fees.

 

[Auslander]

He likes the horses, but only in a "how are the nags?" sort of way. Admittedly, he is very allergic to them, so I can see why he prefers to stay away!

Wandamare - he's the smartest poo-picker in town! I told him to change out of his work clothes, and he came back in a button down shirt, his best jeans and trainers. I laughed immoderately!

That's so not my problem! He can buy his own gadgets!

I just asked if he was coming up to do some more poo picking. He said "Don't push your luck"

That’s just like my 12 year old son he’s not a fan of the horses & wouldn’t help. Yet my 10 year old son is completely the opposite he comes up & helps me. This spring he’s even started to ride. The only problem is he’s going to be tall he’s already over 5’3. But he’s a great help especially as my daughter has totally lost interest in her pony since she outgrew her & concentrated on her studies which is understandable.

 

[Cowpony]

He's grown up. Congratulations! Still waiting for it to happen to my two, although the one at uni is showing signs.....

 

[MrsMozart]

Send him my way!
