Pictures Cousin Its First Drive!

[P.forpony]

Just to share the Sunday fun and silliness.

Cousin It was hitched up and driven away for the first time today!

We've done lots of prep work and long reining so I wasn't anticipating anything too wild...
but he was foot perfect, I wasnt expecting it to be so much fun and giggled uncontrollably 90% of the time

He is of course exhausted now, and having been such a good boy, didn't get told off much for stealing 3 digestive biscuits and half a mug of tea so he's hung around for a contented snooze.

Well done both of you.

Well done, Love his little plait

 

[P.forpony]

Well done, Love his little plait

Poor lad suffers them with good grace!
I can't stand him looking like a barbie pony but there's more mane than ear so if I don't plait it down his bridle just pops off his face

What a little darling!
How did he get his name?

What a little darling!
How did he get his name?

His real name is unpronounceable to non Welsh speakers, his normal name is Fezzik or Fez.
He's occasionally Cousin It from the Addams Family because he's hairy and I'm childish!

Absolutely love that he is in the house

Super cute!!!! I've always wanted to drive a little shetty

 

[P.forpony]

Absolutely love that he is in the house

He likes it too!
He comes in most mornings for a snooze on the living room rug and if I'm wfh he just comes and goes as he pleases.

The dog hates it with a passion

 

[P.forpony]

Super cute!!!! I've always wanted to drive a little shetty

I've actively avoided it
But he needed something more engaging to do than just keeping the TB sane so I reluctantly started... and ended up enjoying it!

Absolutely love that he is in the house

I love that he is smaller than I expected, and then I realised that he is standing next to a dachshund or part dachshund, so maybe even smaller than 'smaller than I expected' iykwIm.

The dog is a bit of a sausage surprise...
the surprise being there is no sausage in him!
It really looks like it, but he's pure jack Russel legs on cocker everything else

Although for size comparison, you're quite right, smaller than expected all round!
He's 30 inches in mini measures or a round 7hh in normal money. Weighs 68kg, can be picked up and put in the back of the landy and runs straight underneath the tb without ducking

for better reference, the big lad is 16.1 but only just!
