cuteness overload

[dottylottie]

so, i thought some would appreciate how precious my old lady looks in her new rug, providing i can figure out how to attach a photo?

my mum got it on sale for £25, and it perfectly matches the headcollar i bought her in 2018 at HOYS?

my mum and i have always loved thelwells and my nana still has some of the comics knocking about too:,)

ETA: on the rug, penelope is holding a sign that says “i’m the greatest”, which was what sold it for my mum lol

Aww that's super cute! I love all things Thelwell!

i’ve wanted one for her for sooo long, but she’s a fluffy new forest and never clipped so it really wasn’t necessary, but she’s 28 this april so she deserves some pretty pjs!

OH my! I need that pony wearing that rug to come and live with me. Adorable x

normally i don’t! it’s actually a pet peeve of mine that SO many rugs come in funky colours or god awful navy, yet i can’t seem to find many nice grey or black ones?

but i can make an exception for these<3 i do also really like the weatherbeeta giraffe rugs and the john whitaker strawberry ones though haha

She is very cute and the rug is awesome! I am still upset I can't squash my horse into the weatherbeeta raccoon rug (I tried!).

buy two and sew them together maybe a 3rd one on the back!

She is adorable and looking very pleased with herself!

I had the sheep rug, loved it. Son's pony trashed in within 2 weeks-I was so upset.

I bought one for Flicka too, she never wore it. I have it in my collection still?.

What's her breeding? Looking good for 28.

i also had a flicka! my first pony, a thelwell lookalike through and through, we actually did that for a fancy dress once. sadly lost her to colic last year

she’s a new forest! dam is firtree fancy, sire is foxhills footman. i’m not at all familiar with newfie breeding, so i have no idea if any of her breeding is notable! she’s registered though and it’s all online - the first time i ever looked up another pony to see their breeding i was actually surprised at how difficult it is for some of them on the different databases, if i google her full name it’s the first that comes up!

she’s actually a bit of a tubster under the rug, she’s got cushings and before she came to us on loan she was with a 16 year old girl who kept running away from home and left her to gorge in the field, we’ve been able to manage her weight and it was much easier when she was ridden, but the vet said her neck is so cresty it’ll never go away her neck actually looks a bit out of place, because the rest of her is a normal weight lol

ETA: from the online database, i’ve just found a photo of her gradsire (dads side), he’s lovely, but again i’m not really familiar with other new forests so he could be an awful example of the breed, but i like him?

Footman was by a notable NF stallion, Beechwood Comet. What's her registered name?

the photo posted is beechwood comet!
foxhills candice - was going to say i’ll pm you if that’s okay so nobody can figure out exactly who i am, but i think anyone who knows her would recognise her from the photo i posted rather than her registered name??‍ blonde moment, but everyone can laugh at me for it at least?

Edit your posts if you want to remove the names. Sorry, I'm just nosey with regards to the breed. I know who breeds the Foxhills ponies.

it’s fine! the chances of anyone who knows me or her being on here are highly unlikely. i’d love to know more about her/her relative’s backgrounds!

The on-line stud book isn't being kind to me tonight-grrrrr. I've got some of the old stud books, what the first part of her reg no 36/37 or later?

Found her-38

 

[Snow Falcon]

Her great, great grandsire on dam's side was the sire of my old boy who I lost 15months ago aged 28

In the stud book she was under ownership of someone living in Lancs

She looks gorgeous in her rug. It's so lovely to see an old lady looking so shiny and loved in her old age.
