Do you think this is acceptable? *follow on from JM's post*

He'd have lots of carrots and apples, and choccy ice cream

We could put electric fencing up?

 

[WoopsiiD]

Hell yeah!

Many moons ago........we used to hack home and take ponies into the garden through the house!
Needless to say we never did this WHILE the folks were at home!

When i was a teenager i used to have my horse shod in the front garden. Even did my paper round on her sometimes. It was over 20 years ago.

LOL,I use to do it with Buddie my welsh A when I was 15, we lived in a bungalow, he'd walk thfough the hall way, through the front room, through the kitchen and dining room out in to the back garden!
We could have used the side gate but this was much more fun lol!

 

[gigs]

Used to keep my pony at my dads house as parents divorced -Dad phoned once in blind panic as not good with horses said pony had escaped paddock and had happlily wandered into the house !!

 

[izz101]

lol like the pics funny

 

[cbmcts]

What wasn't acceptable, according to my most unreasonable mother was leading a shod pony over parquet flooring!

My answer that I couldn't get him into the back yard for a bath through the garage because it was full of tut got me into even more trouble

I don't think JM07 was talking about people taking their horse home or into the back garden for a short while!!

Anyway, years ago, my pony decided he'd come into the house, just to see what it was like!! My Mum had left the front door open, and he wandered up the step and into the hall....she was not amused!!!

He had been grazing on the front garden, but then it was 2 1/2 acres, and my Dad wasn't too pleased either, his lawn had horse shoe marks on it!!

Needless to say, the pony had escaped from the side paddock and wasn't permanently keep on the lawn!! He would have had his legs in the air otherwise!!

Where is the post by JM? Can't find it

Closest i've got to that is a friend taking her pony onto neighbours very posh lawn. They had a hired gardener, and after ten minutes of pony on there i was having a nervous breakdown myself, let alone the owners. Hoof prints, poo and wee all over their perfect garden!

We let the little pony and donkey graze the lawn sometimes, but they have never ventured into the house. However I have no doubt that Murphy would happily wander in if he thought he could get some food - he already opens the little field gate onto the yard and wanders up to the front door if food is a little late! He would probably crack the kitchen tiles though, should he ever make it inside.

 

[Pedantic]

We stop regular at my house for a carrot of the missis, he does tend to try and get his head in the door occaisionally.

 

[LeneHorse]

many years ago we had the pony in the kitchen when the parents were out - we fed him a box of Scots Porage oats to keep him quiet.

 

[Sol]

My pony stands at the back door watching TV or wanting food! He's been known to knock on the door too if it isn't open xD

 

[ROMANY 1959]

When I was a teenager in the 70's I used to take my pony to our house to eat the grass every sunday, when she was fed up she would stand by the gate making such a noise that we all knew she wanted to go home to her field, no harm in an occasional change of scene, and once when the roof of her field shelter came off after winds, she lived in the garage for 4 weeks till we fixed it... 5 bar gate at the entrance to the garage and wall to wall straw, she loved it.

F_S_ I know that

I was taking the pi$$

My little girl has asked a few times if Gimley can live in the shed in the back garden, but we only have access to back garden coming through the house, Ive got expensive carpet in my living room

 

[SonnysHumanSlave]

when i was younger we lived in a pub, and i would leave my pony stood by the back door, just standing there while i ran in and got a drink!

one day Biff decided to follow me and walked right into the bar! hahaha

my grandad was not amused lol

hee hee

I used to take my boy Merlin who was recently put to sleep home a lot. When my parents were out i would hack home, let him graze on the garden while i had lunch and watched neighbours, then hack home. He used to drink out of the fishpond!!! and wee on the lawn, my Dad could never work out why he always had big brown patches....sorry Dad

I would also always ride home on a sunday afternoon and My Mum would save some carrots from the sunday lunch for him, he used to stick his head through the kitchen window.

Those were the days..........

 

[quirky]

It looks like the man has got the pony's reins round his leg.

I have visions of pony taking off and man ending up in a heap on the floor cursing loudly

 

[soph21]

He was being drippy lol, I asked him to hold him while I took pics!
