My pony threw me :p

[Gloi]

With such fabulous technique
I was leading him back to the stable this morning and I felt he had an eye on a patch of spring grass we were passing so I got tight hold of him.
With a deft aikido technique he pushed his head down behind my leg pulling my arm with it then as I was bent forward by that lifted his head and my arm back up behind me and I did a complete somersault in mid air landing on my bum in a puddle. It was so quick and so effective I was too astonished to be cross.
I wasn't hurt but I was well and truly soaked and the little **** got a few seconds of spring grass before I got up and dragged him in.

That sounds like the sort of thing P would do to me... I'm not going to tell him because it might give him ideas!

 

[HappyHollyDays]

I’m sorry but I burst out laughing. Clever pony ?

 

[Gloi]

I’m sorry but I burst out laughing. Clever pony ?

He is . Far too clever . I laughed too once I recovered from the shock!

 

[Baywonder]

Oh I truly feel your pain Gloi!

Leading my old boy across his field one day, he dodged behind me, put his head behind my backside and flicked his head upwards, lifting me off the ground completely. I went flying through the air, arms and legs flailing, landing in a heap on the ground. He just stood there and looked at me.

Cheeky *******s aren't they?!!!!

 

[The Fuzzy Furry]

Ha ha ha ha! Bleddy fuzzies! ???

 

[Gloi]

Ha ha ha ha! Bleddy fuzzies! ???

They know the new grass is coming and the temptation is too great.

 

[Gloi]

I said I wasn't hurt but I've stiffened up everywhere now. Much too old for this flying lark

 

[Green Bean]

Oh goodness, a video would have been hysterical ?

 

[Bernster]

I wondered why’d you put a smiley on that title. Now I understand haha.

 

[tiahatti]

Hope you are ok. I would love to have seen it in slow motion though!

 

[Trouper]

Yup - definitely need head cams for ponies!!!

 

[Gloi]

I was saying to my friend that I wish someone had filmed it because I'm sure it could have gone viral
I'm aching this morning but I'll live.

Glad you're ok Gloi. My old boy was king of the shoulder flick as I was leading him. If he spotted something he wanted, he'd shove his shoulder into me so quickly i din't have time to get out of the way. It was never enough to knock me over, just enough to throw me off balance and he'd take the spilt second to go for it. I either had to let go or get dragged across the yard. When OH (17st rugby player) was new on the scene and trying to impress, he said he'd lead him as he wouldn't manage to do that to him. You can imagine my delight therefore watching him go concrete skiing with a 14hh Section D acting as the speed boat!

 

[Gloi]

14hh Section D !

er.. that's it, perhaps it's a genetic trait

 

[Annagain]

They're definitely the worst for sneaky behaviour. Too clever for their own good. My 16.3 Irish Draught can be a bit of a thug but doesn't have the intelligence to catch me off guard so is much easier to handle!

 

[windand rain]

Sounds like a Highland pony trick. They are too clever by half. My sainted girl chucked the kid off the other day. Having been warned for more than a year that she didnt respond to smacking or ponyclub kicks the kid was sent into orbit as she was flapping legs and arms with a crop in her hand. I must admit the pony' patience astounded me as it had been going on almost from the start

I am so pleased my old lad wasn't wearing one

He was a Welshie too. Enough said!

 

[Gloi]

Perfect demonstration I'm going to have to restrict his internet access so he doesn't get any more fancy ideas
