Glad im not the only one who liked it! Yeah their adventures were so fun, even though sometimes a little bit unrealistic - ie when Sparkey was at that big major international show and the camera tried to make out she was jumping a HUGE wall! he he
Great series though - Did hear the ponies were stabled at Wellington Ring school but not 100% sure
Yes ponies were at wellington. I used to go there on pony holidays and they were always in the lessons. Trigger was absolutely tiny I imagine they are long gone now as that was a good 15 years ago and I don't think they were spring chickens, but I can't be sure
Ps they looked nothing like they did on telly - they were immaculate on telly and scruffy mucky unrecognisable little things in real life!! Also do you remember in the old horse and pony mag all the photo stories? They did quite a few of those at Wellington too, I remember a little pony called sparrow being in them
I used to watch them with my daughter, we had the videos...maybe still have them somewhere???? We also liked The Stables, and have visited Stepney Bank as we have in-laws in Newcastle...loved the Geordie accent pooper-scooper
I used to watch chatterhappy and the animals of farthing wood with my daughter, only problem was she was a baby, but that was a good enough excuse for me to be able to watch kids tv ;-)
We had the videos too! It shows just how old they are as they weren't on DVD. My kids are now teenagers and were chatting about ghost stories recently. I asked them if they remembered the chatterhappys and "there's no such thing as ghosts!"
We had these videos, I think it was a bit more than 15 years ago, the ponies had all moved on by about 7 years ago when my daughter rode there, but soem of the staff still remembered them.
I took the plunge and emailed wellington riding and this what was said.
"Hi,
Unfortunately, after a long retirement at home with Nereide Goodman, we lost the last of the Chatterhappys Daisy a couple of years ago, but they all lived well into their late twenties, I think Daisy was in her early 30s in fact."
