I was very impatient yesterday evening to come out of Pony Jail! I got put in pony jail few days ago, just when the grass in the Big Field is extra tasty and finally getting long enough to properly get your teeth around, and I think that is very unfair! :mad: My friend the Normally Grey Pony is still in the big field, and whenever we go past the big field on our way into the woods, he looks at me, and then all my friends trot along the fence. Unless they are having a lie-down---the grass in the big field is much softer for a lie down than in pony jail!---or eating. The grass in the big field is much better for eating than the grass in pony jail. Had I mentioned that? :mad:

At least I'm not alone in pony jail this time. There is a little bay mare there with me, who is very nice, and who does what I tell her. It's not the same bay mare that was in there with me before, namely Twin Mare, who is bigger, and who makes ears at me and bites me until I do what she tells me. Nor is it the little bay mare that I really really like, who is in the field beside the square place for making circles. But this little bay mare is really nice too, and I think she can come back to the big field with me when I go back there later, as I hope I will! :)

Anyway, yesterday, the Carrot Lady came to take me for a trot in the woods, and I was in a real hurry to get out of pony jail. We went for a trot with a big bay gelding that used to live in the big field too, who is a bit of a bully, but otherwise ok. There was also a big bay mare, who is very pretty! She did try to bite me at the beginning, and made ears at me when I tried to sniff noses. Surely there's no need for that? :confused:

On our trot in the woods, she was in a terrible hurry and always wanted to be in the front. So I decided I was in a hurry too, and would show her how fast I can trot! I won, because I got to be in the front most of the time, and because I'm littler, I could get around her really easily without getting my legs all tied up. :D On the way back, the Carrot Lady wanted me to walk, but I still wanted to trot---I didn't want to risk the big mare (or the big gelding) getting past me---so we compromised by me bouncing home instead. That's somewhere between walking and trotting; the person sitting on the bay mare said that my front legs were walking, and my back legs were trotting. That sounds about right. :cool:

Unfortunately, I had to go to pony jail again, after I got my blue bucket with food in. :(

This is me in pony jail, wanting out (or food):

Aww Poor spooky pony, at least you have the lovley bay mare in pony jail with you. You are very handsome so im sure you made the bouncing home look good ;)
 
Dear Sherbie,

thank you for saying that I am handsome! I hope the little bay mares (both the one in pony jail, and the one in the field beside the square place for making circles in) agree with you!
 
Dear Spooky Pony,

My name is Indie Pony and I too have been jailed! Although I must say I'm sure my prison is ten times worse than yours and I've been subjected to a straight jacket (mum say's it's a fly suit what ever that is?! I think I just look silly!). My prison doesn't only have bars like yours, it also has that horrid tape that shocks you. My tail and neck are ever so itchy and I got the shock of my life when I tried to scratch my bottom against it!

However there are some upsides to my imprisoment, I am in with a very nice large grey mare who is blind, so for once I get to be incharge. Lots of people walk through my field which I get to mug for sweeties and I can see everything that is going on as it's up high on the hill. It's also highly amusing to watch mum puff her way up the hills with barrow and buckets.

I do hope your imprisoment ends soon Spooky Pony, I fear I may be here all summer and there's talk of me being stabled this winter *eek!*

Yours

Indie Pony
 
Hello Spooky and Indie, my name is Tally and I am in pony prison too. Mine has white shocking tape around it and there is no grass at all just sand and shavings. The good bit is I get the field shelter all to myself and my big bay companion has to wait outside in the rain:D I also watch my mum struggle up a hill with barrows of hay (it is all wet though:confused:) and water.
The bad news is my feet are quite sore and my mum keeps getting some squirty things and squirting horrible liquid in my mouth twice a day. Also there are no carrots!

I have plotted to escape twice and managed it once before they put more tape up. I cantered up the field even with my poorly feet and had a lovely roll on the grass. I only managed a couple of mouthfulls before they caught me again. The second time they saw me trying and put the shocker back on the tape:mad:

The vet lady said if I am good I might be able to go out at night in a week or two - so heres hoping:)
 
Spooky :( I feel for you! I havnt been jailed but I have a silly contraption on my nose that means I cant eat very much :mad::( and my bestest buddy is getting to eat all the grass thats just grown!!

Thank you everyone for your sympathy! Carrots and/or rescue would also be gratefully accepted! :)

Dear Indie Pony,
that sounds very itchy indeed! I had a friend, a chestnut pony, that was very itchy all the time, just like you describe, and it wore a white rug thing with ears on. The Carrot Lady called it "Ku Klux Pony". I'm not sure what that means, but I think maybe she was being mean. I think the Carrot Lady said it should eat marmite sandwiches! I don't know what those are, but I like sandwiches, so they must be good! :) Maybe you should try some of those?

Dear Tally, I'm sorry to hear about your sore feet, and I think putting you in a pony jail with biting tape is just adding insult to injury! How mean! :mad: I've had sore feet too, though maybe not as bad as yours, and I did feel much better after a few days, so I hope yours get better soon! :) Maybe you can ask your non-carrot person (how sad that there are no carrots; would you like me to send you some? Although I haven't seen any in a while, come to think of it...) if you can have juice (!!) in the squirty thing, so that it tastes better? I like juice (!!).

Same as me! :mad:

Dear Yellow Pony and dear Ruby,

I've had those contraptions too. They're pretty easy to get rid of; in fact, you can take them apart into so many pieces that the carrot people never find them all. Would you like me to show you how? ;)
 
Dear Spooky and Indie,
Myself and my friend are being caught up in the morning and STABLED for the day! This means we are FORCED to eat hay! All that cream-cake-grass growing outside and we are having to eat Rivita-hay. We feel deprived. Our slave refuses to turn us out til early evening, when our bellies are full so we can not manage to eat as much cream-cake-grass as we would wish overnight. We also have to wear white anti-bug rugs so we are denighed the pleasure of scratching our manes and tails off.
When we go for walkies down the lane all the grass and cow-parsley says "eat-me" and we are not allowed too. All this is too much for us youngsters to bear. Is there anywhere we could complain to? Why cannot be get as porky as barage balloons?
PS dont tell our slave but we secretly love our comfy straw beds to snooze on during the day and its good to be itch-free, but one needs to complain to keep up appearances.

Thanks Spooky Pony, but I've only had it on for one night so far and thought I'd keep it on to lull my mummy into a false sense of security.

I'll bide my time..... ;)
 
Hi Spooky, my mum is sooooo mean she does not put juice in my medicine - just puts it in water and squirts it in:(

I heard them talking about a thing to stop me eating so please send me instructions on removal of these things in case they get one. Also if you see any carrots or polos please send me some urgently.

My feet are a bit better these last few days so I am hoping to get out soon:)

I am shocked at the level of cruelty on this forum with all these poor ponies being locked up. At my age you would think people would be more respectful - I am 28 this year and I am pleased to say this is my first time in prison.

Good luck to all the other inmates lets hope we all escape soon.
 
Hi spooky pony. I am not in pony jail but I have a fabric bucket on my nose so I can't eat much. I am still with my friends but the grass is begging me to eat it and I can only get small nibbles. Yours icey pony.
 
For all ponies with buckets on their noses,

here is a picture of what you can accomplish in a very short time:

Give it a go! :)
 
Look spooky this is what I look like how silly does she want me to look :mad:!! But she says its good for me and I cant be a fat event pony so I will do as I'm told as I secretly quite like this eventing stuff, even if I do make my own entertainment in the stressage :p. I tried convincing grandma that I couldnt eat by just standing and shaking my head but she wouldnt let grandma take it off!

But I do get to come in to a big net of straw to eat

I wasnt to convinced about being covered in cold water but she insisted!

Does your carrot lady keep putting a white thing round your belly? She says when I get to a certain number the bucket on my face can come off and I can eat with my bestest buddy :confused: I dont know where she gets these numbers from.
 
Dear Spooky and all the other ponies,

I am Welsh pony, but the blonde lady calls me 'girly'. I was also in pony prison,...I hated it so much not even the white shocky thing would stop me! I found that if you grab the top of the coloured plastic poles between the white shocky thing and pull,...the white shocky thing falls down and you can easily jump over it! :rolleyes::D
Blonde lady made me wear a face bucket too.That didn't last too long. But it lasted longer than the stable door when she tried to put me in the stable and then go away :rolleyes:
So, blonde lady has now decided to give me lots of quite bare field, but this has my friends next door and a little bit a the loooovely yummy long grass! So I don't try and escape any more and I don't have a face bucket or have to go into my stable (:mad:)

Thoughts with you all,

Welsh Pony :)
 
Dear all ponys,

You're all total wusses. Simply walk through white bitey string - ignore bites and plow through. Was caught and put back in with the orange pony in the brown grass bit and heard rant about how walking scratch-post has plugged the white bitey string into manes - I think this is cruel. Walking scratch-post then watched me and I pretended to be bitten by the fence - but later on walked through it. Now have been banished from the orange one's jail and put in one on lonesome jail which has a nice tree and lots of nettles and not much else! Scratch post doesn't dare put another bucket on me ever since I kicked myself in the eye trying to get the other one off - try it, it's a good one!

Scratchy post tried to put me in the shed but I threw myself on the ground as I couldn't see anyone else - very scared I was! Now I'm being dragged in every day and made to leave all my friends behind - scratchy post says I'm obese and is plonking on my back everyday and walking me down roads?! What?!

Yours faithfully,

Ruby
 
Dear Ponies,

My name is Tilly, when I was younger I too was put into pony jail, and had yucky medicine and a bucket tied to my nose. One day I was very clever, I got out of pony jail (I jumped over the shocking tape, managed to get my bucket off and escaped into the big field with all the nice new grass to myself, my mummy couldn't catch me because I kept her away by kicking out at her all the time for 5 whole days.

Sadly I now know that my mummy was being cruel to be kind, I ate too much of the yummy grass and my feet got so sore I could hardly walk, that's when I let my mummy catch me. She cried and cried when the vet came to see me and said I might be going over Rainbow Bridge - I was really sick for a long time, I had to have lots and lots of medicine and special socks for my poorly feet.

I know the grass is really yummy but think of your mummy - she is only being careful because she loves you so much
 
Dear Yellow Pony,

I don't understand, you look very lean to me! I think I know about the white thing you mention. I wondered if it's like the biting fence, but it's not; it's harmless, if flappy.

Dear Welsh Pony,

the boss horse in my field, who is tall and black and very senior, has done the thing you describe, to remove biting fences. I will ask him to show me how, when there is another opportunity.

Dear Ruby,

I think I can do that too! I know what you mean about having to go for long walks all the time: the Carrot Lady keeps putting me in the stall with wheels, and then I end up in strange places where we trot in the woods for a very long time! It's actually a bit fun! I just get so bored of it at home.

Dear Tilly,

are you saying that there is a correlation between the really tasty grass and feet that hurt? :confused: I must say I find that really hard to believe!

Carrots,
the Spooky Pony
 
Yep spooky I keep telling her that! But she says she cant feel my ribs with out poking very hard (I know it hurts :mad:) and that eventing ponies slaves need to be able to feel their ribs *shrugs* I know they are there so why does she feel the need to keep poking? :confused::rolleyes: Then as if that wasnt enough she tells me shoulder pads are not allowed and so I must loose them before the bucket comes off. Shes very demanding and keeps saying its some thing to do with not being able to go out for long canters because of the ground, its still there so I dont see her problem, then she said some thing about not wanting my feet to hurt or the bone to come out the bottom of it. I tried to prove that I'm ok to be an event pony by jumping a 5 bar gate but she didnt take that to well either *shrugs* so for now I keep the bucket thing on as I dont want ouchy feet and I want to go play eventing again soon its real good fun especally when you play how many white boards can I obliterate in one movment :D.

I has no carrots but I can offer some nice little treat things that slave gives me for being caught....
The yellow pony
 
Dear Yellow Pony,

I know where my ribs are too! They are those things that she keeps thumping with her legs when I say I don't want to trot in the square place for making circles. :)

What is wrong with the ground? :eek: Should I be worried? :confused:
 
Hello all,
Can anyone explain to me the human obsession with equine ribs? The Person I Own and Aunty A are forever poking me and the Big Girl in the tummy and wittering about finding our ribs :eek: The PIO has also been moaning that my saddle might not fit me, because she says I am fat! I believe I am wasting away, although I have to agree that The Big Girl could loose a pound or two. They let the sheep eat our grass before we got to it, all so that we couldn't eat it and keep body and soul together. I haven't eaten a carrot in ages, but we do get some nice biscuit things (Grandad is best at giving these out, the other two are a bit stingy). I will share some of my biscuits with those with buckets on their heads :D Love the Current Appy
 
I know mine got a right thumping when I refused to walk with a contact yesterday :cool: thats why I need the padding it would have hurt if it wasnt there and then I might have had to do what she said :eek:.

I dont know what she ment about the ground some thing about hard or soft :confused: what ever it was we didnt go out much because of it.

Dear all ponies,

I am not in pony jail but feel that I may as well be. We have 3 fields & two of them have very long grass where I could not eat it all by myself when my friend went on holiday for the winter, something I still haven't quite forgiven him for, but we are only allowed in the fields with the nice long grass for about 10 minutes a day, and this is while we eat our dinner so we don't even get a full 10 minutes of eating time. Instead we have to spend our time in the field with hardly any grass & can only look at the other fields & dream (and sometimes try to stretch over the fence to reach but it's not quite long enough yet). My mum & sisters tell me that this is because we both have fat enough bellies already but I don't agree, who wants to be a size 0?

Yellow pony, I am a little worried as while you could be my twin, my belly is definitely bigger than yours - I hope my mum isn't as mean as yours and puts one of those things on my face!

Also while my friend was on holiday (he says he had to go in a box for 5 hours on the way & on the way home! If this is true I don't ever want to go on holiday!) his mum seems to have grown something funny on her chest. It looks kind of like a mini human which is wrapped in a green bandage but doesn't walk or talk & makes very weird noises and she only comes to visit him sometimes now. Does anyone know if this thing they call "a baby" is some sort of disease and if so will it ever get better?

Carrots,

Confused (also yellow) pony
 
Dear Poniea,

You think you have it bad? The Polo Lady is taking me somewhere new to live today. She says it is a Good Thing because I will get to go in the field more but she also says I will only be allowed out my stable so she can sit on me for two weeks so I think she is lying and she is just kidnapping me. I will have to make my own entertainment and show the Polo Lady my acrobatic moves when she sits on me.

Yours, the Overgrown Pony
 
Dear Current Appy,

may I please have one of those biscuity things, even though I don't actually have a bucket thing on my head right now? I will send you a carrot in exchange! When I finally get some.

Dear Yellow Pony,

I think I like harder ground better than softer ground---it's easier to run really really fast on! But I don't like stony ground much. Maybe she meant that stones have grown on it?

What's a contact? :confused: It doesn't sound very nice.

Dear Confused (also yellow) Pony,

the thing they call "baby" is actually a people foal! They are oddly small and incompetent for foals, though; but they do get bigger after a while and come out of those bags. I think.

Dear Overgrown Pony,

I don't understand how she can say both that you will be allowed in the field more, and that you will have to stay in High Security Jail for so long. I think there may be a trick in there somewhere.

Carrots,
the Spooky Pony
 
Dear confused also yellow pony,

My main human has one of those. I think its removable! :eek: but it must stay close to them. My person has it in this weird minature trailer type thing a lot, and whenever I try to get a good sniff I get pulled away - go figure.

I am currently not in jail but there is talk of it if main human slave doesn't stop putting me into other people's fields to eat down their grass. Apparently this is not acceptable just because I am not in work, and I might get sore feet. You know what I quite like this not being in work and eating all the grass malarky, but I must admit I don't want my feet to be sore again.

I got to have a bath (customary pretend I didnt like it, secretly soooo good on a hot day!) and go for a walk with main human, baby disease and auntie human the other day. It was soo good to be out and about but they didnt like me trying to eat the lovely tall grass on the verges, meanies. Anyway, from what I can work out this baby thing stops humans from riding you for quite a length of time. I guess this is only fun when you are not in pony jail, although I make my own fun and run off with the main slave human every morning and night. Its fun, give it a go!

PS what is pedigree chum? Slave human keeps on shouting it. I think it means go faster?

Yours, huge bay pony
 
Dear Confused (also yellow) Pony, and Huge Bay Pony,

yes, the people foals sometimes come in strange wheely contraptions, as well. I found those very worrying until I understood what they were about! Baths are ok, I suppose, as long as they are warm. I don't like cold ones, at any time.

Carrots,
the Spooky Pony
 
I didnt see no stones growing so I dont know what she was on about :confused:.

Contact well thats what I spend the entire time I'm being ridden trying to aviod, its quite good fun but it does make her a bit cross after a while :D. Unless we are jumping when I forget as I'm having far to much fun deciding if I'm going over the next one :p
