Most mis spelled horse word.

[MidChristmasCrisis]

Just remembered another ..."thorobread"...but maybe they were thinking of Hovis...maybe not.

 

[Chinchilla]

I have a good one. It was actually on a chinchilla group, but instead of "alfalfa", they called it "alpha alpha".
You might have trouble finding that in your local pet shop. (Unless it also supplies BDSM fans.)

 

[poiuytrewq]

Fleebitten = bogged off due to itchy bum
Bridal path = don't know why the vicar got upset when I rode my horse up the aisle
I brought a horse = my arms are really tired now. Wish I'd bought a horsebox too
Menage = sand gets into some very awkward places, but at least there are 3 of us to sort it out
Grabbed the reigns = the Queen is a bit cross
Good breaks = goes straight through the fence
Not phased = needs a cattle prod to get him going
Out of a stallion = it's a **** foal

laughing face! Brilliant

Menage, lamanitus, hayledge, screwballed ... the list is endless! My personal favourite is "buck and bronkle" instead of "bucking bronco"

 

[Cortez]

"Mountain block" is a favourite....

Depends how big your horse is, surely ?

Chestnut spelt 'chesnut' is one that I frequently come across.

 

[alibali]

That's four times better than being half-assed.

brilliant!

I spell it as 'chesnut'. I was taught back in my Pony Club days that it was the correct spelling for equine coat colour description. Chestnuts are the edible nuts.

Mind you, I see from your location that you're from Devon. I'm from there originally, maybe 'chesnut' is one of those weird Devon words...

I was under the impression that the Suffolk Punch breed are 'Chesnuts', but all other orange ones are Chestnut??

 

[Haniki]

Oxford English Dictionary: chestnut: 'a horse of a reddish-brown or yellowish brown colour'.
I live in Devon, but grew up in Surrey. I wonder where your pony club instructor was from? Ha, ha!

Thats what I thought.

Thats what I thought.

And me!

Are you expecting me to believe that the OED has more gravitas than that of my then Pony Club DC :eek3: :eek3:

The DC's word is ABSOLUTE LAW

I grew up in Devon and had a chestnut mare and it was always written that way but in a Devon accent I can imagine it sounding chesnut.

I have a very personal one annoying me atm. My horse has the word Valour in his name and at shows it regularly gets pronounced Velour as I enter the ring.
