Cashmere... mmmmmmm, there's nothing quite like it.
it's graded you know?( of course you do!!) from the really nice to the utterly sumptuous and such a scarf came to visit over the weekend, sadly not for me but artfully draped around a clients neck, i told her not to come to us , it's savage here and i had visions of her tottering over the ruts in her Jimmy Choo's .
Alas, i saw a Chameau clad foot step daintily out of a new Range Rover and declare brightly ''gosh , it's a bit wild here isn't it? ohhh look, you have horses!! oh i Must say hello to them!''
my heart sank, i declared it was cold, have a cup of tea, look at the drawings ( renovation project) you must be tired, blah, blah, desperate bl**by blah, anything to keep her away from hideous Mr P the assassin horse.
But no, off she trots, arms outstretched to hug him ,me frantically trying to get there first to block what i knew in my bones was going to happen, she gets to his neck, pat , pat, oh he's so handsome! .. mmmm... Mr P's head whips round and off comes the scarf and is sucked into his mouth like a piece of spaghetti with just a bit left showing and he's chewing it!!!
oh god!!!! , i had to prize open his mouth and drag it out, it was all soggy and green with grass and slime and just sort of hung there between my 2 fingers like a dish rag. ohhhhh goddddddd!!
the worst of it is that it came from Beggs in Scotland and cost over £500
and was a limited edition
and was a gift from her husband
and she really , really liked it
oops!

i now have to plaster a room for NOTHING!
 
I am laughing too, but at her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You tried to tell her!!! People that can't cope with having a scarf sucked off (apologies that sounds terrible, can't think of another way to phrase that) should not be allowed range rovers only proper people who like mud should have them! Teeheeheeheeheehee! You should tell her your plaster is made from special horse drool that'll put her off the free room-plastering!

oh BK you are so bad!!! that made ME laugh!!!
i was doing some pointing once and didn't realise a cat had poohed in the sand and gone into the mix and the wall ended up really smelly with smeary lumps in it, i never told the client coz he was a tighta** with money and i thought ' nah you can lump it'!!!

hmm, thought you meant ptpointing, so a bit confused, but I gues you meant you made a mortar usung poo' ed upon sand :).
Hope it was an external wall
 
ROFL laughing - mind you, I don't visit my old yard wearing "work" clothes because I always get plastered in mud by whatever dog is there. And I did once end up with green dribble all down the arm of a work coat while holding a horse for someone - I was working and had worn "work coat" because, while I knew I was going to be around horses, all my other coats were too chewed or filthy...
 
Shady, I feel your pain. I always cringe when non-horsey, nicely dressed (in their best 'country' clothes) visitors want to meet the gang. Stifling a cry of "Noooooooooooo", it always ends badly.
 
That's so funny you really should start a Mr P blog. He's sounds a real cheeky monkey. We once had a possible new livery visit yard who was v posh but dressed in horsey clothes none the less. She went round looking in all the stables. I wasn't there at the time but she looked in at my boy and said oh what a handsome boy you are. He responded by lungimng forward and grabbing her and her expensive coat by the zip!!!! Needless to say she never came.
 
I thought you were going to say that your friend had the scarf wrapped around her neck in the trendy 'noose' fashion and that Mr P throttled her... but there's always next time;-)
 
Laughing lots! Not just at what happebed but the way you describe it! One of those if only you had only had a video camera moments!

I wished just that thing the other day when i watched him pick up a brush and start sweeping the snow off the stable fencing, i swear i could almost hear him humming'' oh what a beautiful morning, sweep, sweep'' we really don't know anything about him but all agree he is odd indeed! great fun tho, but not if you like a well behaved horse!!
