Today, a strange thing happened again! When I say that, I mean that this strange thing has happened once before, although it wasn't exactly the same, so it was really not quite the same strange thing. Because there was a different People Foal involved. If that's clear!

I hadn't seen the Carrot Lady in a little while, but yesterday, she came again. And that was good, because there's been a different person coming, who kept taking me to pony jail, except then I got wise to it and wouldn't let her get hold of me any more, so that I didn't have to go to pony jail at all. But the Carrot Lady didn't take me to pony jail yesterday; instead, we made some circles. First on the end of the long rope, and then with her sitting on me. And there was another lady with her, a nice one, with some people foals. They were a bit noisy, but they smelled ok, and the one helped brush me, which was nice! :)

That people foal is a 3-year-old, the Carrot Lady said, but I think she must be wrong, because I've met a few 3-year-olds---the grey pony and the brown pony in my field were 3-year-olds, except they're 4-year-olds now---and 3-year-olds are much bigger than this people foal, as you will see. Maybe she meant 3-month-old? :confused:

Today, they all came back, and we went in the woods to the square place with a roof on, which was ok, except that we kept having to stop because the one people foal was very very slow (the other people foal was sitting on the nice lady, who had a big red saddle on). When we got to the square place, I had to wait a bit, which was good, because there was some hay to eat. But then, the Carrot Lady put the bigger people foal on top of me! That's the thing I mean that has happened before, that a people foal has sat on me. But it's ok, because the people foals are light, and the Carrot Lady walks with me and tells me that it's ok, and also, I don't have to trot at all! :cool:

We walked part way home through the woods, and then the people foal got off, and the Carrot Lady sat on me for the rest of the way, and I got to run fast for a bit! :D She says that I make a very good Lead Rein Pony. Does this mean that I have a new job now? :confused:

This is the people foal sitting on a very strange-looking horse when he was a smaller foal:

This is us getting arranged in the square place outside the square place with a roof on:

This is me going into the woods on the way home:

The people foal is pretty quiet mostly:

And it's not a bad way to go through the woods!

Spooky Pony - my mare says;

"I think I have a new job too. They keep bringing these people foals into my stable and putting them on me; one people foal doesn't look as quiet as yours, she pulls my mane and calls me 'Baba!' and takes my bucket away from me! But I get a nice haynet and a nice walk to the sand school afterwards, so I can run round and round and have a roll. I think if we are nice to the people foals we get nice rewards....might be worth it??? Kelly"


:D
Nice pictures!! Looks very chilled out :)

Well it's very good of you not jump around when the people foal was sat on you, so I think you may have a new job!! Easy work for you, so I would carry on being good!! xx
 
looks like your new job suits you - very brave and kind to let people foal on you especially thru the scarey forest - apples and carrots for u :):)
 
I think you guys are definitely right---it's an easy job, and I've gotten lots of carrots yesterday and today, compared to usually! :) But the woods aren't usually scary, at least not that part of the woods.

Carrots,

Now spooky I need your help. How do I go about becoming one of these lead rein pony things? The extra carrots and apples would be much appreciated, in fact any would be nice hmm. I have only ever had people foals sit on me in the sandy square place but I had to work hard before so I think mum has got the wrong idea about how this lead rein business works. Any help much appreciated from a seasoned pro like you.
The daft one :)
 
Hi Spooky,
I quite like people foals, but they don't tend to sit on me. The person I own says that I am too sharp, I don't know what she means, 'cos no-one has ever cut themselves on me. I find that people foals tend to be a good source of treats :D There is one near us and he and his Dad come out specially to talk to me :D I do tend to find that if I am out with either of the big numpties they get more of the attention :( I think that people can't see me behind the bulk that is either of the big numpty girls! :eek:
Looks like an easy sort of job to be spooks, go for it :)

Dear Carrots,

People foals are yummy. Their hands are always sticky and sweet. One came to my home today and so naturally I tried to eat it. For this I was unfairly told off and banished to the back of my box. So I threw my feed bucket out of the stable and stole the big person's jacket. People foal returned carrying a carrot (held at arm's length). I think that may have been even easier work for a carrot than your lead-rein business. Although maybe my person is trying to train me for that too because she kept saying something about flexion today and leading me around the place. Idiot. Much easier to get a carrot by trying to eat a people foal... and I'd like to see one of them try to get on me. People foal wasn't even as high as my knee. Pah!!

Seriously though, just check how they taste the next time.

Yours,
Knobberts.
 
Dear Daft One,
I'm getting the impression that it involves looking very sleepy. If you jump around lots, the people mares don't seem to want their foals near you! It seems to be working very well for me: I was so sleepy today, because it was very hot and sunny, and the people foal sat on me again. And I also got the squishy wet thing on me later. :)

Dear Current Appy,
I think you need to do two things: first, you need to look sleepy, like I just told the Daft One; and second, you need to eat more, so that you are at least wider than the big numpty girls! :) Then maybe the people foal will see you too!

Dear Knobberts,
I just learned about bucket-chucking myself! :D I don't throw it very far yet; I didn't realise that you were supposed to throw it really far. There are a few people at my home that often taste very good, or at least they have tasty things in the blankets they wear. People foals do often seem to have tasty things, I have noticed this too! :)
 
Oh spookypony... you must have a different breed of people (and their foals) near you. the only people foals I have met have been noisy snotty shouty pully kicky things that I don't like, so I'm quite glad that mum doesn't make me do "child wearing".

But mum does like me to take other humans out from time to time. she says its good for me. but I think she just means she doesn't want to go really really really fast or that her arms are long enough already!

Carrots,

Ron

Dear Spooky,
I am trying to eat more, believe me, but the idiot I own keeps wittering about a diet :eek: I keep telling her that I am wasting away, and am so much thinner than the big numpty girls, but she just keeps poking me and saying 'fat' :eek: She also puts the yellow tape round my tummy once a week, and says 'how does she do it, gets fat on fresh air'. The widest of the big girls is soooooo big that TPIO says that they can only measure her in centipedes, as the weight runs out. I don't know what she means, but I know it means she is too fat :D :D :D

This is where the problem is. If I am sleepy then mum gets the weapon of mass distruction out and insists I get off her leg (not sure how that works she is sitting on me!) and trust me the weapon of mass distruction hurts my bottom :(.
I am beginning to feel very hard done by - you get to be sleepy without getting you bum hurt and then get the hose to cool you down. I get a sore bum tired out and the dentist man putting his hand and raspy thing in my mouth, he even let mum put her hand in and told her to put it further back :eek:.

Any offers to stand in as daft pony?? ...... nope thought not :(
Mum said something about cross country tomorrow and ditches and water, I dont have a clue what any of them are :confused: Does that persuades any one?? Its all a bit scarey if you ask me.
Oh well worth a go ..... the daft one
 
Dear Henry Spaniel,

I am very confused now! I certainly didn't ask for the people foal to be sitting on me, and I'm pretty sure he didn't ask either! He kept making funny little noises today and then he got lifted off again. I'm pretty happy wearing nothing much, to be honest, unless of course it's raining so hard that being in the field is like standing under that cold-water-spitting snake! :eek: Then I have a black and orange blanket thing that I wear. :cool:

Dear Appy,

I know about that tape too, but it doesn't bite. I am very confused as to why one would want to measure a pony in centipedes, as those are very small and light. :confused: Surely it makes more sense to measure a pony in neeps? They taste better than centipedes, too. :)

Dear Daft One,

I sympathise with your confusion. The Carrot Lady keeps trying to get me to make a longer trot, but I don't understand that either, since I'm already 147 cm long, and I don't think I can just willfully become longer! As to water, I think the thing to do is, if there's no way around, just run through it as fast as you can. Or jump over it. But if there is a way around, then I would say just go around it!

I guess that they measure the big girl in centipedes because they need all those legs to go round her, who can tell? They have become obsessed with how fat they think we are :eek:. They are very personal and rude, I think. And it's not just them either :eek: The foot man was sittering about it too, I can't imagine why he thinks it is any of his business, and the very funny smelling man, who stands at your shoulder and pats you VERY hard was talking about our weight as well. :eek: And they all keep saying we are eating too much!
