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

I bet the bugger would be like the cat on the flint stones and keep finding his way back before chucking you out!!

I roared at the pony the other day "stop being an effing moron" and my oh who was outside unknown to me came and asked if I was shouting at him...well if the cap fits...!:o
 
I have another one to join! He's not mine but I doubt anyone will miss him, he's a *****! Really don't like him, he's here because his previous owner was going to have him pts and I can see why, you get what you pay for and he cost £1.
 
All these new wild ones will be in gangs, smokin' weed with their trousers down round their hocks and hoodies over their eyes before we know it! :D
 
Wouldn't work with mine - he'd get an ASBO for stalking old ladies with his "please, please, please feed me" look and mugging passing ramblers for their sandwiches. In fact, he'd probably find his way into the nearest town to look for a bakery. He likes his food does my lad...
 
I fully support all your plans to release your nutters into the wild but will you please note that the Peak Park has no native herd.

OMG, now you'll tell me we need one and be on the way in an unmarked horsebox! Should've kept my mouth shut.
 
Can I offer up one of my mares, she's a broody so could act as a mother figure to them?

OK she's Spanish, but I would pack her off with a phrase book so they would soon get over the language barrier:)

pleeeaaaaseeeeee, little madam keeps eating the other horses's rug and is costing me a damn fortune in repairs/mostly replacements. For the sake of my poor freezing horses I am begging you :o
 
I have one to add to the Hellish Herd...demon eyes

i can add a 17hh mare to the mix after her behaviour today:mad: all i was trying to do was change her rug and got a right load of attitude for my troubles. if you think she might be a bit large to be mistaken for a native i can saw her legs off:eek:
 
Can you add my pony to the load please! Was raining so madam would not be caught (knew the huge stable was a bad idea!) so after 10 mins of dodging kicks and trying to wrestle her with one arm I gave up and skipped out around her and she went all cuddly the second I chucked the headcollar out the stable :rolleyes: welsh mountain pony my ****!!!!
 
Ha ha, what a funny thread, reminds me of my younger years, mid 1970's when there were always packs of dogs running around my area.

There would be about 7 or 8 and would always include a jack russell, a dirty old labrador and lots of scruffy mongrel type dogs. They would quite literally terrorize the local kids.

This is the mental image i have in my head at this thread.
 
Another one to add to the wagon
3yr old racehorse who one of the other stable lads was riding out decided to have a nice trashing session of an OAP's front lawn then denting a blue KIA leaving him with a bill for all of it. The villagers used to quite like our racehorses, these two don'd anymore!

I was behind him on another 5yr old (thank god a lot less spooky!) and almost had to cover HIS ears with the language used both from the stable lad and the cars owner! luckily the OAP wasnt in we left a note and trotted away fast. :D
 
This thread has cheered me up so much! I'd offer up my ginger mare for the asbo gang but I fear she'd sniff out chaff and sugarbeet and lead them all back home!!
 
The thought has crossed my mind on many an occassion with my mare, particularly when she has managed to completely lift a metal five bar gate off the hinges, smash through her stable door, lift the top stable door of it's hinges and drop it on the floor, catch her leadrope under the tap, ripping the tap off the wall and flooding the yard until I managed to get to the stop tap, bend another livery's tack room key in the door and snapping it in the lock late at night, rendering the tack room open until the next morning with everyones stuff in it, not to mention breaking through the electric fence at top speed causing it to rebound and whip me across the arse so hard I had a raised bruise on it for weeks. :mad:

(Just thought I better point out this wasn't all at the same time, or the moors would have been too kind an option!!)

Haha, throughout my childhood dogs ran loose like that. :D You just chucked yours out, and it joined a pack (perfectly described above, mine was one of the scruffy mongrel types :D) and it came home when it felt like it.

No-one seemed to think it was wrong. :o
 
Erm, she's the do gooder Patterdale! Although doubt she'll do any harm as she stumps along after them trying to carry 8 rugs per pony & shouting 'come to mummy for your Jim jams'. However if a farriers apprentice gets in touch about a small pony joining too, & muttering things about boss deliberately not telling him & a little girl laughing at him, please don't let him know the plan!

Can I ask for clarification on this statement?

Was it the ponies face you were shouting threats in or the dog walkers? :eek: :D
 
By the sounds of it were going to need a bigger wagon!

I have recently moved to a new yard and I'm pretty certain my horse is the breaking out ring leader, someone (clearly mine as the others have been there for ages) destroyed 2 sets of electric fencing to get into the huge summer field, destroying a number of posts and metres of tape on his way, leading the others astray. This always seems to happen when I'm not there, last time another poor livery and her husband fixed it one pitch black rainy evening. Felt awful when I found out!!
