I'll be joining my mate Hovis in the doghouse I fear.....

After accidentally headbutting Granddad the other week (he broke teeth apparently :eek:) and then getting told off last week by mum for reading a road closed sign (surely she could see I was trying to be helpful!) I thought this weekend would be better. How wrong could I be?

the foot-bangy man came on Monday and banged my feet for a while and muttered about how rubbish my feet are. I'll have him (and you) know that they are Not rubbish - they just aren't what he'd like them to be, which is silly little poncy thoroughbred feet that are held up for him by a silly poncy thoroughbred... I say if he wants them, he can hold them up!).

Then on Friday aunty Ro came back from somewhere she calls plimhole. Tom says its near the sea in the south. I think it sounds nasty, why would you want to live anywhere that's called hole? She pulled my beautiful mane then chopped of my samson-like tail at the most ridiculous height. Mum said it wasn't short enough and then trimmed some more off, so mow I look like i've been docked by a wooden spoon!

On saturday we had a nice short ride, Tom and I tried to race up the hill, but he's too fat and ran out of puff half way up. I thought it would be rude to leave him behind so I walked with him. Mum said that I looked like a broodmare with my belly and all the fluff. It's not fluff, it's a winter coat. It's not a belly mother, it's... well. it's not up to her anyway.

then today tom bet me that I couldn't beat him up the hill again, but Mum and aunty Ro wouldn't let us. So Tom did his best Mistral Horjis impression (sideways, the lot!) and I did my best spanish riding school impression and then we bu55ered off up the hill. Only problem is.... when we got to the top I realised that I'd lost a shoe. :( thought I could hide it by walking on the grass but mum got cross with me and made me walk on the track, then got even crosser when I ouched about a stone and she realised I'd lost a shoe... :( Aunty Ro said she thought 6 days is a record for me, but I'm sure I normally keep them on longer than that, so think she must be stoopid. Mum was so cross that she's threatened not to take me hunting this season.

I'm considering myself to be well and truly grounded. Think i'll be eating hifi no cal forever and a day. :(

Anyway... signing off from the doghouse.

Dear Ron,
Dont mum's just suck??? Mine is moaning coz I keep going for little walkies. She cant fathom out how I keep getting out (but if she cant sus it, i'm blooming well not helping her out!).
My mum also wants to cut my mane off again. She reckon's that the "Jimmy Neutron" look is quite cool. I dont.....not since I saw that dude with a Jimmy Neutron that was PINK:eek::eek:
Can you imagine if she did that to me??? That shame doesn't bear thinking about...
That bangy foot man just needs your well aimed, well turned hoof placed upon his ample bottom;)
And who wants shoes more than 6 days anyhow? Does you mum not know that fashions can change like the wind??? But at least you get shoes....I just get earache from all the moaning.....

Chin up dude

Ohdon't worry LS... I get plenty of whining too, but I've become quite adept at ignoring her, but don't tell her in case she whinges louder!

I just wait til Dad takes me out for a ride or even better takes me hunting, because he's not frightened of galloping at warp speed down hills, or jumping huge hedges whilst hanging off the side of the saddle... so much more fun than mum.
 
Poor Ron... I hear you can get stick on shoes... try and find an ad and leave it lying around....the foot banging man might not like them, but you might!!!!
Also you seem to have taken fitness for hunting into your own hooves... my little cob does the same sometimes, he seems to think all the walking and trotting isn't necessary and stubble can somehow eat up horses if they touch it and aren't cantering..... Its just that maybe you should listen to us up top too? just sometimes???
Hopefully you'll be out of doghouse for your Opening Meet
 
MrsM... you can send her here! Tom and I won't mind sharing a field with her if she's causing you too much trouble, and besides, our field hedges are too big for jumping even for someone so talented at hedge hopping as me! ;)
 
Dear Ron
I lost my shoe today as well. Mummy is very very cross with me because that's the third one in the last two months and she's getting fed up! Gran also had the cheek to take Ted and Blossom the cobs on a fun ride without me! Mummy says it's cause now that I'm 21, gallopping lots and lots isn't good for me anymore. What does she know eh? She also keeps muttering about how she doesn't think our new farrier's much good as I don't normally lose shoes :p She's also threatening to clip me so I reminded her that I have to be sedated - that shut her up! ;)
I reckon your Mum's lying about the no hunting malarkey. She finds it just as much fun as you! So don't worry too much and make sure you keep beating Tom up the hill :D
yours sincerely
Byron the silly TB
