Is it ok to release a pony into the wild if you really, REALLY don't like it?

I really really really dislike my sister in laws pony.
He's just awful, just tried to barge over me in the gate, shoved him babk with my elbow and he did a stupid little half rear and struck out with a front leg, barged me again and I fell over in the mud. Very narrowly missed kicking me in the face.
I would just love to release his ugly hairy ass out onto the moors and never see his horrid little face again.
I think it would be win win, he obviously hates captivity and I hate having to deal with him. He could live wild and free, and maybe fall into a ravine one day.

Would that be ok do we think? Anyone else get these urges or is it just me?
 
You could try it - but IMO I think he has a personal vendetta against you and would probably hunt you down. You would probably wake up to see his horrid little face staring through the rain into your window. It might be that you have to release yourself into the wild and spend the rest of your days in a Bear Grylls type adventure.
 
Good. That's decided then.
She's given up riding it anyway as she's into boys now so by the time she notices I could just say he died of old age or something.

Ill camouflage him up with bracken and hang a water bottle round his neck for him, just till he gets on his feet. I'm not totally heartless.

:D
 
OMG this made me laugh :-)

We had a NF filly that we'd bought from the sales as a five month old foal. We've had four of these NF fillies over the years & most of them are gr8. Not this one! She had a nasty injury before she was a year old which resulted in four weeks box rest, well she didn't forget it & blamed me for shutting her away from her friends. She wasn't scared, just a spoilt brat.

I had fantasies about driving her back to the New Forest in the dead of night & just letting her go :-) sadly she belonged to my daughter & she didn't approve. I'm sure she would have been fine & had a wonderful time terrorising picnicker's :-)

Did actually manage to sell her to a driving home where she's doing very well.
 
Glad to see there's so much support for this :D

I thought about selling him to the circus or something, but he's so ugly, one of those nondescript hairy dark coloured small ponies of dubious breeding, but judging by his head and ears there's a shire jumped the fence somewhere down the line.

My horses don't like him either, he bullies them. They'd be fully behind the plan.

:D :D :D :D

Ok just don't go soft and leave him a mobile ... he probably has the rescue people on speed dial:D I caught my two trying to signal for help today , they are turned out in the yard and stables as the fields are a lake ... Oh cruel world for a poor horsey!!

Not to mention he isn't quite as 'ripped' as you think he would be once the shirt comes off.. not bad per say.. just doesn't live up to my 'action hero' dreams..;)

Anyway back to OP.. let the b****r go, what's the betting he will be back in a week with a dually in his mouth, kneeling at your feet, begging for your forgiveness and :D:D
 
May I offer up an additional small hairy obnoxious beast as a companion on his travels?

Only I found one of mine standing in the middle of the debris of what had been electric fencing on Saturday....shattered fence poles, ribbons of tape.......he stared at me as I came back from my ride, flicked me the hoof and then stood there and refused to move whilst I cobbled everything back together.

A passing dog walker was treated to me shouting in his face.. 'Im gonna skin you and wear you, you shyting horrible thing':o Very BHS.

Run free? Think not. He'd be hanging round the bins like a stray dog:mad:
 
Don't think I have laughed so much in ages......ponys and Bear Grylls out in the wilds drinking urine and munching from nosebags......thanks Patterdale....priceless thread!
 
This is actually hilarious!!

I have another one I may add to the mix. As I mud ski'd across the yard the other day being towed by my very naughty horse who thought he would rather go for a wander than be tied up I did think I should maybe just let him go and quietly get into my car and leave him to fend for himself!

Maybe if we released a few of them we could pass them off as an undiscovered wild herd....? Mine would have to go with a packed lunch including his various supplements the ungrateful little ****
 
Patterdale, fabulous thread :D

:D He's on my list of "really shouldn't find him so attractive" guys too :o Chief Scout :p
 
I do threaten my horse with that fate on a regular basis and he can take the OH with him. They will be happy together living in a cave somewhere :)
