Hi I'm Herbie but from looking at my Mummys past posts you probably know me as the horrid one. (although I can't think why ;) )
Anyway Mummy and I have just been out for a ride in the forest. I was a good boy and let her tack me up and I didn't even bite her when she did the strap under my tummy up.
Then she led me up the track and I stood still while she got on. When we got to the gate I didn't even make her get off to open it and stood in the horrid mud puddle where the crocodile lives while she shut the gate. We had a lovely trot and canter around our normal bit of the forest and even jumped afew piles of sticks. Then when we got to the bit where we normaly take the track home we carried on going. I was a good boy and even though I wanted to go back to my field I didn't argue and carried on up the track. Along this track we met some ponies, the ones who just wander about on the forest, Like I did when I was a baby, I realy realy wanted to stop for a chat but mummy told me to walk on so I did. We than walked up a realy steep hill. At the top there was a lady who I had never seen before but she talked to mummy and told her how lovely I looked and what a handsom boy I was. :D I stood like a good boy and the strange lady stroked my head. (I think I love that lady) She walked off and we continued with our ride. We crossed the little stream and jumped afew more piles of twigs, then went back through the gate. Again I let mummy stay on top so she didn't get her feet muddy. :) We rode back down the track to our home. When we got back mummy got off put her arms around my neck, gave me a cuddle, told me I was a good boy and thats when she had a little cry.
Now can anyone tell me what I did wrong? :confused: She did have to tap me with her stick afew times as I wanted to grab a snack on the way round (I haddn't had my breakfast yet :mad:) But shorly that wouldn't have made mummy cry :confused:
 
Its ok you have done nothing wrong herbie, my mummy does this sometimes, she says it is beacause she is so proud of me.
You had better get used to it because by the way you behaved today i think your mummy is going to have lots of very proud moment as you were a star today.
Well done laura, you have done really well
 
Perhaps you're due for a name change to "Handsome and Happy". I think Lucy has been sending you psychic vibes. See it pays to be nice. Us mum's get a bit emotional and she was happy - really!!!

Oh no now I'm making lots of people cry. :o

But thanks guys atleast I know I've not done anything wrong. I've been trying so hard to be good lately.
Humans are so confusing :confused: I thought they cryed when they where sad. But Mummy was crying because she was happy I'm so relieved :)
 
Awww how lovely don't worry Herbie we don't think you are horrid at all and your Mummy was just very proud of you :)

Well done to you and your Mummy you have come a long way and give me inspiration that my 'horrid' will be good like you one day x
 
Tears here too. Herbie, you really are an amazing pony, it takes a very special pony to be lovely enough to make your mummy cry with happiness. She must be a seriously good mummy :)
 
Thankyou everyone I feel much better now I know I deff didn't do anything wrong :) I'm trying so hard to be good. Mummy is trying so hard to be brave and jump me. We jumped so much today and some of them I actaly had to pick my feet up over so they where quite big for mummy ;).
 
I am sure that I shall be berated by 99.9% of this forum, but I have heard enough of your grief. We all have it, I am watching my mother die from Motor Neurone Desease, I have a friend who is imobile through illness. I have lost horses, dogs and a whole farm in Foot and Mouth. Please stop these self indulgent posts. Yes we all felt sorry when you lost Lucy, but come on its time to move on. You are 27 for gods sake. Yesterday you were telling us that you are getting another pony. So enjoy that. Move on and stop milking your grief. We all have huge problems, we normally keep them to ourselves though.
 
Pastie - have you ever heard the phrase 'if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all?' The class of 5 year olds I teach know and understand it.

And since when did you have the monopoly on grief?

Horrid - glad to hear all is well. Don't worry if mum is being a bit soppy, it's just because she loves you :)
 
Pastie, I suspect 99.9% of this forum recognised that Laura's tears today were, in fact, because she felt so happy with Herbie. She has done so well with this pony and I am sure most of us enjoy her tales.

Might I suggest you use the ignore user facility if her posts offend you? Or simply don't open her posts? Just a thought.
 
Pastry - bog off! She's not moaning, she is celebrating her success. She has never indulged in pointless wailing and has worked hard for everything she has. You sound like a right miserable old trout and I've never heard a happy post from you in all the time you have been on here.

I too have lost horses, my mum, other much loved pets and a very young friend only this summer. But it doesn't give me the right to dictate to others how to feel. I'm pleased for her happiness whether it's smiles or tears it brings.

Pastie2 - FFS! How utterly nasty! If you don't like her posts then don't read them! There really is no need to kick a person when they're down!

Laura - I'm so glad Herbie isn't Horrid any more! x
 
Laura, good for you, sounds great. You need to give Herbie a big cuddle and tell him you're happy really.

Pastie2, it sounds as if they are dropping like flies around you. Has it not occurred to you that it might be because you are TOXIC?
 
Well done Laura, it is nice to hear someone is having fun and doing well. I also have a little cry sometimes because me and my spanish git have come so far, tho he doesn't care!

Dear me some people can be nasty Pasties...
We all read this forum as it entertains us and is informative and helpful. There is bugger all on tv and I'd rather find out about what's going on in the HHO world. It is not a requirement to read each and every post, neither is it a requirement to comment on them all. Therefore posting something unkind is a deliberate act of unkindness and is also highly 'self indulgent'. We are all sorry that bad things happen to people but that is no reason to spread bad feelings.
 
"Horrid's" name very obviously needs to be transferred to someone in the human fraternity. Laura I find your posts very refreshing - that someone can so whole heartedly feel for their animals and do everything in their power to give them a good life. I don't mean to sound patronising but please keep posting and ignore totally obnoxious comments.
