Dear Diary and HHOers.
For those of you who don't know me I'm called Ted, a 16hh Welsh Sec D. My Mummy says that I am very and safe and generally a good boy but I thought I would show her that she can't say such silly things about me. After all, she can't expect me to behave when she has suddenly made me move fields and put me on nice grass can she? And why do I always have to be the brave one? Silly tb Byron won't lead past scary things so it's always up to me and it's not fair! So I thought I would teach Mummy a lesson on our hack yesterday. We were trotting along a main road and we turned into a lane and I thought it would be really funny to suddenly stop dead and start backing out into the main road while a lorry was going past. In all fairness, there was a very strange tree on the corner! Needless to say, Mummy was not sympathetic! In fact she was very cross and told me that I could have killed us. I was only protecting her from the tree! After this I was very excited so I tried to trot off up the hill but Mummy was very mean and made me go on the bit instead, so to spite her, I spooked at every little thing, including my own shadow :D Byron says her face looked really silly and purple.
However the best was yet to come! On the way home, I thought it would be really funny to do my biggest spook without telling Mummy what was actually scary! It's a secret :D I spun, I went backwards, I went into the hedge and into Byron (he wasn't very happy at this point but he needs to be taught a lesson for being such a wuss :p) Then Mummy started yelling so I thought it would be best to go forwards but only very fast. I then continued to spook at everything which was really fun until Mummy made me go on the bit again :( So by the time we got home I was very hot and bothered. Naughty Mummy! I think I showed her that I'm actually a very naughty and spooky cob ;)
Any ideas for next time? :p
 
Hi Ted - Good for you! My favorite trick is to pretend I'm a warm blood stallion on the way out to the field. Stand up really really tall and snort loudly 10 or 12 times. Then piaffe/passage all the way there, oh - also shake your head every few steps and do some bunny hops. It really unnerves my mum lol

Obviously once you are being ridden absolutely refuse to replicate any fancy footwork previously displayed
 
oooh well done Ted, sounds like a right giggle. I like spooking at those white lines on the road too, and the big black buckety things that humans put rubbish in (you know the ones with wheels on?). TOm is quite like you he's 16.1 and his mummy was a little 14h welsh lass and his daddy was a 17h hanoverian german man. he thinks its really funny to keep telling his mum that he needs a wee and when we stop on the verge he just shoves his face in the hedge/grass/trees and stuffs himself. He also thinks its funny to throw things at the farrier, but he scares me so I just try to ignore it!
