Roll up! Roll up!! Get the answer you're looking for RIGHT here. NO problem too big..

[Bav]

I am worried about my Irish daft , I caught him snorting a line of "magnitude" through a rolled up copy of H&H. Have I been putting him under too much pressure to do dressage?

Oh no! Quite the opposite. You see he must know that the spring grass is coming in, and that he may be coming into season and wants to stay relaxed and focused on the job at hand. If you're really concerned I'd reccommend doing a line yourself. Should make you more chilled and ready to work.

 

[Bav]

Could this improve jumping ability? One spoonful of chilli up the nose, jump like sheet!

Not too sure about the chilli. Paprika perhaps?

 

[Mike007]

Sadly the words relaxed ,and focused have never been words associated with my horse . I confess to having tried a little of his white powder but I never inhaled!

Ahh. It mustn't be working in that case I'd try getting him to eat an entire Aloe Vera plant in his feed? Aloe does amazing things didn't you know?

 

[Mike007]

Clearly you do not know about Irish dafts. They hoover up so much plant life that one little aloevera plant will barely touch the sides!

I want to create a breed of horse that will take Facebook by storm. It doesn't matter what the offspring look like so long as the name sounds cute - or a little bit rude.

So far all I can come up with is the s£itemara. Will have very short legs but will grow to 14.2 and be able to jump 1.2m - if it can see through its mane.

 

[Alec Swan]

The greatest HHO thread, of all time.

That's it, …. The End!

Alec.

 

[tallyho!]

No, never Alec - it's never the end!!

How did I miss this D66... flipping brilliant.

How about an Andaloony... highly strung small thing. Can do Spanish walk to escape electric fencing, gallop on the spot with your 3yo riding and herd cats. All at the same time.

What about a s£itflinger?

 

[Alec Swan]

Can I use
My mares thrush cream on my foof ???

No.

Because everyone knows you mean your Daisy.

Yes.

Ok Zoobie, there was advice for and against it seems. I'm intrigued, did you try it and was it a success?

Alec.

ps. Just idle curiosity, you understand, I'm not bothered either way.

 

[Alec Swan]

It's only the letter L that's kept you from the gallows, I hope you realise!

Alec.

how about 4xshortlegs?

Sounds like a familiar pastime for rather a lot of people. Particularly here...

I haven't got a three year old to test the gallop on the spot aspect, but my small companion pony certainly does the rest of what you describe!

 

[Lintel]

So funny reading through all these!! So scary though.... so much of its not too far from reality!

 

[Micky]

Makes me laugh every time I wad these but it's very sad to think there really are people out there who ask these questions!! My horse is 3 and unbacked...he doesn't know how to behave so can I lunge him for hours on end whipping and chasing him around the school until he's dripping with sweat? Latest I heard...

 

[smja]

This is the thread that inspired me to join H&H - thanks Alec for raising it from the depths!

 

[DD]

this thread is 10 years old! only seems a couple of years ago when it started.

 

[ester]

seven, don't exaggerate

 

[horselady]

this thread makes me laugh

 

[gmw]

You don't know how painful it is to read but I love it!!!!! Cheered me up no end.

 

[The Fuzzy Furry]

seven, don't exaggerate

6 and a bit to be exact

 

[Alec Swan]

I suspect that the exodus of many long term HHOers who's main complaint is that life here now seems dull, this thread is an excellent example of how life was —— back then. It wasn't all rosy though, oh dear me no, there were some spectacular rows, and with a near total disregard for decorum with posts which sometimes wandered between delusional and disgraceful, there was always the element of fun, at least that's how I remember things!

Alec.

Dearest PF, my horse dislikes travelling. What would you suggest?

Brilliant! I wonder how many calls the RSPCA got......

 

[horselady]

You should completely cover his head with a pillow case of course! He can breathe and a horse that can't see is calm.

Nooooo ,don't you know anything this is the best way to get your horse used to traffic .

 

[Elf On A Shelf]

They actually got quite a lot! I think they said nearly 100?!
