OMG - I cant believe I have never seen this before. I am having a boring day working at home and had this e-mailed to me. I nearly wet my pants - sooo funny, has brightened my day.

Its funny how as a kid I would have liked Jigsaw, nowadays I am a Peter Pan Girl.

Possibly my favourite sketch ever :D

OH treated us to french & saunders live tickets a couple of years ago, when they were doing their farewell tour. They actually made me cry with laughter. Love it! :)
 
Oh that's fantastic!! Not seen it before. I used to know a pony like Peter Pan, would stick his head down to eat at every opportunity, which once included my sister (who had been told to keep hold of the reins no matter what) being pulled all the way down his neck and landing on her head. SOOOO funny!!

Also, remember the days when you'd be up at the riding school all day helping and groom and riding and then you'd get home and spend the entire evening 'playing horses' over the showjumping course you'd made in the back garden with garden chairs and gardening bamboo (we got told off for that though as my Dad had none left for his peas and beans coz we broke them all.... oopsy) :D
 
Yep we always made show jumps in the garden. We had the paddling pool as a water jump and my sister fell and broke all three bones in her arm at the elbow, probably her worst riding realted accident!

When my daughter was little we would practice her dressage tests in the living room using the large rug as an arena with markers made from paper. We would take it in turns to be the judge and ring the bell. Its a shame she is too old for it now - I am still up for it!
 
Takes me back to my younger years, horse back in stable and running around the field jumping the makeshift course with yard friends.

How is it my pony would jump barrels, sticks, garden chairs, home made jumps of many materials and never once did he get hurt nor would my parents worry about us.

Fantastic sketch, that cheers a friday afternoon at work!! ( don't tell boss I'm on H&H and youtube!, he thinks I'm concentrating very hard on a spreadsheet! lol)

You've been raiding past posts from the old board:D:D This was on there then:)
 
Haha excellent! I remember the days where we could get away with messing around and jumping jumps on foot without the horses...I'm too embarassed to do it now, although I reckon I can still clear 3ft ;)
