*Big HUGS* PF I do love bunnies...

Cos u been so nice and cuddly I have another problem that I am sure you can help me with...

I have recently moved from the big smoke to a little place (about 40 acres / mock tudor with a big wishing well!) in the country with lots of bunnies and guess what bluebells! However I find living in the middle of nowhere quite strange - there are no lights out here. There are very cruel people who actually ride horses and gallop across fields. I have even found Horse do-do on the road :eek: It all very cruel and horrible. When I drive my Prius these people dont get out of my way. Funnily nobody has called to welcome me to the village either?

Can I erect floodlights all around my house? Will talking to these people nicely who are abusing the poor horsies help them to realise how horrible they are? I am thinking of having an open day for save the bunnies fund I do hope this will help....

Oh dear, poor you having to live in such a vile, desolate place. The countryside is horrible; people hunt and shoot as well as ride their horses. It's rumoured that some of them wear wellies and even walk their dogs, not to mention get mud all over their cars!!! Yes, you should put up as many lights as you can to make the place more inviting. Definitely have a Save the Bunnies fundraiser, a collection for Feed the Foxes, and also petition for everyone to give up their 4x4s in favour of more ecologically friendly vehicles.

Oh PF you are such a sweetie <}!!!!

Well following your lovely advice I have ordered some football stadium lights for around my house - Ohhh they are really loovely! The house now be seen from the nearest motorway, where strangely the police appear to have been attending an increasing number of pile ups! - Its probably all those nasty 4WD things that people around here drive!

Anyway at the weekend I held my Save the Bunnies / Feed the foxes Fundraiser in my garden. I posted my invitations to the whole village including the MFH and the members local ferreting club (as I was told they loved Bunnies too!). So as to show the importance of Saving Bunnies & Feeding the little Foxes I ordered extra bunnies from my pet shop which I let run free around the garden so that everyone could appreciate how Cute they really are! My freinds from St Pitchlywinkles Hedgey hospital contacted me and offered me a dozen ickle rescued foxes to run around and impress all the nice visitors as well...:)

It was so lovely the ickle furry foxes started playing with the dear little bunny rabbits but then the rabbits started disappearing..someone said maybe they all went to the farm...I did ask what farm as I am new to the area - anyway I'm sure they will be very happy there having met such nice friendly foxes...

It is lovely to know that I am making such a difference to the village...the MFH seemed very impressed and said that with people like me there was really no need for legislation as I was doing more for the cause than any demonstration to Downing Street....Oh I am so happy - what a lovely man

The ferret club was very impressed my additions to the local rabbit population and asked could they bring over their furry friends so they could play too - bless!

I have now started a petition to put up street lights on ALL the dark roads and in the fields so the bunnies and their furry friends will be able to see in the dark!
And my next mission is to get all 4WD banned as they are so ugly and smelly!

I think I am going to like it here...

Thank God you are back, our yard has a big problem, and really need your advice. Our yard owner was stopped whilst she was out hacking in the next village by a woman who suspected (wrongly) that the YO' s horse had done his droppings outside her house. This woman was very cross and said it was dangerous. We don't know what she means, and it has made us worry that our ponies might do their droppings in the same place. What can we do to prevent this? We don' t want to avoid going past her house, it is our favourite ride as all the tourists outside the nearby pub look at us when we go by. I don' t know if you are familiar with other animals, but if my husbands sheep go past and do droppings, would that be dangerous as well? Please help, thank you.

Sounds as if you're making great progress and fitting right in. Whilst you're at it, how about starting a vegan food club so can guide those poor farmers away from meat farming? I'm sure they don't realise how cruel they're being to all those sheep, pigs and cows. They should all be set free, don't you think?

Do you mean to say that the council has not installed public toilets for horses, sheep, cows and pigs?? This is preposterous!! Where are the poor animals supposed to go? Imagine their embarrassment at having to relieve themselves in fields or, worse still, on the roads in full view of the passing public. You should write immediately to your local MP and insist that he rectify the situation!!

Ooh, this is very serious indeed. You must pop him immediately. Borrow an air rifle or, failing that, some darts. Once he's down you must roll him around on the floor squeezing all the gas out of him. Good luck!

I have reported you for cruelty to that poor horsie OMG how it must be suffering!! I have now placed signs outside my house so that all horsies will know that they can make use of proper facilities (I have had a fully flushing horse loo installed) There is a a meeting in the village next week and I fully intend to pettition the village for public facilities for ALL animals...sometimes I dont know how I put up with such wanton cruelty....AT LEAST PF understands...

Sorry I missed your post; was on my Global Huggly Tour and only just got back. Hope your pony is back on the ground, if not, you must shoot arrows attached to ropes over him (remember to keep hold of one end) and drag him down. Attach anchor.
Bill's in the post. Huggles :)

Yes, I do indeed understand. You are making very positive strides forwards. we need to get all animals properly and decorously clothed next. No visible privates!! It's to protect their modesty
 
Dear PF,

My mare has recently become very messyin her stable. Is there some sort of butt plug or bag I can attach to her so then I can empty it straight into my wheelbarrow? Or do you have a book that can teach me how to teach her to hold it in until I'm there with a bucket? OR is there something I can give her so she just doesn't poo at all?!

:D
 
Dear PF,
We recently aquired a HOYS winning horse for my 13 year old daughter. He's 18.1hh piebald welsh cob and even though he is only 2 years old according to his KWPN passport he has been supremem cob champion at HOYS! I was wondering if i would need to buy my daughter lessons as she has never ridden or if he could train her because my cousin's nephews neighbours boss told us that the horse could teach the girl?

Also, as we have won HOYS where do we go from here? I took him to a local show the other day with my friend leading him inhand but the damn jealous of the locals pulled us in last in the native section! Honestly some judges are sooooo biased!

Any help please PF

Dear Pf please can you help me-I bought a very nice horsey last year-the seller said it was a bit green but that was ok because I like that colour. Anyway he has started to plant-I did read a thread on horses planting which mentioned waggling the neck neck but my horsey seems too stiff-have I fed him the wrong food? I have tried miracle grow cos he was quite small but am wondering whether a good feed of potash would be better? What do you think? and would a banana stick be helpful? I did think of sheep as everyone says sheep are the way forward but he doesn't like them nibbling him.
Yours in anticipation

PS Here is a pic of him-do you think he needs clipping?

You aren't winning for one of the following reasons;
1) Horse too thin. Feed him flapjacks, lots of them. He should be very very round. VERY round indeed
2) Your kit isn't expensive or matchy enough. Get the most EXPENSIVE gear. It doesn't matter if it doesn't fit. Looking the part is just as effective as actually being able to ride or have a good horse
3) Jealousy. Everyone is always jealous of you. They are jealous of you even if other people are doing better than you. It's just the way it is and the only solution is a hitman. Not that I know of one. Nor did we have this conversation *shifty eyes*

PF -May I suggest an addition to your very successful patented Purrdy Ponio (a subsidiary company to your wonderful Huggly Horsemanship Inc)

Its a new line of horse underwear that I have come up with - not only will the colour matched underwear provide cover for ponios modesty they will also have a special concealed pouch to collect ponio's poo etc!

I was thinking of calling it Nappy Nickers? Would you perhaps be interested in a partnership? My late husband who made all his money burying chemical waste in greenfield sites has left me enough moolagh to bring a little happiness to these poor benighted people who just dont know any better. So you see we would be doing this really as an act of charity!
 
Dear Pappa Fritta,

I've been having some contact issues with my posh dressage warmblood so I thought I'd switch from a snaffle to a double bridle. As he can be really strong on the left rein I got a made-to-measure curb bit from Herr Sprenger with a 5cm right shank and a 7cm left shank, this works really well and I must admit it has immediately fixed the issue.

However, here is my big dilemma. I soon realised I made a huge mistake purchasing my double bridle as it's not patent. Therefore, I immediately bought Chanel Le Vernis in no. 219 Black Satin but I am now worried sick I should have gone for the no. 513 Black Pearl or even a different brand??? Also, how many coats am I supposed to apply, is one enough or should I apply a second coat. And is it only on the noseband or also on the reins, throatlash, etc?

Please reply as I really don't know what to do and obviously can't ride until that has been fixed.

Lots of love,

Worried from Stratford xxx

Dear Fiagai
I do apologise for coming so late to your post.
I do believe that with your Nappy Nickers range you will have found a niche in the market! Wish I'd thought of it myself. No need for a partnership, I shall pinch your idea, rebrand it as Pony Pouches and sell it under my own name!! Cheers :)

Dear Worried
I can tell you're new to this dressage lark; all those novicey mistakes!! Never mind, you've come to the right place now.
Clearly you are correct in assuming that different kit, rather than training will solve your riding issues; the results speak for themselves, after all! ;) Now, as for the bridle... tut tut, Black Pearl and Black Satin are soooooo last season. Can I suggest Exotic Ebony or Pitch Patent? This is what Edward, Anky, Laura and Carl have told me their horses will be wearing this season; bang up to date and it IS so important to look the part, wouldn't you agree? Apply to noseband, browband (careful to avoid the bling!- I assume you have bling?? Your bridle MUST twinkle!!) and reins.
BTW, I notice your horse is *shudder* BAY and not black. I suggest you remedy this forthwith!! Luckily my Huggly range includes equine dye in 42 shades of black. It's called Triumph Tint. Wins guaranteed!!
Feeeel the huggles!!
 
Dear Pappa Fritta,

Thank you so much for your prompt reply. You are so right, I am very new to dressage, so I have a lot to learn, but thankfully I have come across this forum which has *everything* I need to improve.

Gosh, I didn't know that about the colour. I have 5 horses, and they are ALL the wrong colour! Four are bays and one is chestnut. I bought them in Germany and clearly they took advantage of the fact that I am a foreigner. Without contacts, it's difficult to buy abroad. Do you think I have been conned????
