Poor Cilla is totally confused, apparently I'm riding her on the wrong side of the road. She's only been in the UK 6 weeks and I have just got it so wrong.

Haha, was wondering how you were getting on with her! My first pony had been driven, and would refuse to ride next to the kerb, had to go in the middle of the (left hand side) of the road! How's she otherwise?
 
We had a horse from belguim that did the same. Every other foreign horse we had has been broken in England so not been a problem
 
Ahh bless, you'l have to learn some Dutch phrases now - like ......pick your bloody feet up.... whoa, steady now..... it's only bloody water you stupid mare..... arghhh watch out for the tree - things like that
 
That won't be too hard to learn I'll just have to listen to Louis saying the same things to me in Africaans and say it in a slighty different accent... I think he has probably said all of the above to me.
 
Toetsen boven (feet up)

Rustig (steady)

'Tis maar water, stoeme merrie (It's only water, stupid mare)

Past op voor die bomen (watch out for the tree)

Not sure if my spelling's up to scratch but them the words!

Also possibley "Links" - left - if you find yourself in the middle of the road!
 
PMSL!

Whilst out hunting with YOs son who is currently out in Germany. He came over for just two days. Well we ditched the lorry and had to hack about 5 miles to the meet and we were late lol so i cantered winston down a grassy area on the opposite side of the road, whilst YO son trotted his ride down the correct side - he had to take a double take and ask, which side of the road am i meant to be on PMSL.
 
OK T_E do you have the same phrases in Swedish as she has spent some time there as well - I don't think urny gurny will work.
 
Now if we can also have them in Romany, I can take a phrase book XC schooling when DD will be accompanied by a friend on my little gypsy cob, and as horse no. 3, Deri is a girl from the valleys we could do with a Welsh translation - honestly we are so cosmpolitan here in Brizzle. Thank god Sienna speaks English

Sarah_and_Perry can do the Welsh if you like, ooops, forgot 6410 he can too.

We had a games pony on the yard once that wouldn't do a thing unless you spoke Welsh to him.
