Pictures The Adventures of Cousin It!

[P.forpony]

Thought I'd start a single thread that I can update for when anyone needs a bit of small, silly and cute!

Today's adventure, a long rein to the local, where he promptly fell asleep at the bar....

Apparently this behaviour is only tolerated when you're small and fuzzy!

 

[southerncomfort]

My new favourite HHO pony!

 

[P.forpony]

Apparently the pub was tiring so we had to have a group nap and a lab inspection...

 

[Wishfilly]

Brilliant! I'd love to have a mini small enough to bring inside the house!

Only real advantage to being a grown up...
Who says you can't!

My bank account unfortunately says I can't afford two really! I'm also not sure if they'd manage the steps down to my front door (I live on a hill). But one day!

He saves me a fortune in vet bills by keeping the silly agoraphobic TB happy in the field, I put far less petrol in the mower for the garden and the only hay he gets is the TBs leftovers because they share a stable, really very economical
And I have some steps too, definitely not a problem for them!

His first drive off the farm today, into the big wide world!

The traffic was absolute carnage, why are people such plonkers?!
He had one tiny squirt forwards as the nice massive lorry driver slowed down but whoooooshed his airbrakes right next to us, lots of cars too fast and close enough to tap with my whip, a rattly trailer, some cyclists and I lost count of the number of motorbikes (the majority very considerate, including the guy who pulled over to try and say something and couldn't get it out for giggling )

And with all that, he didn't put a foot wrong! So pleased with him

Kept it short and sweet about a mile in walk, with a snack break half way.

I always wear hi viz and I know when I'm riding the more I have on the more it seems to back drivers off. I've ordered a banner with lights for the back of the cart, and I'm thinking maybe some sort of flag on the end of my whip I can hold out to give us more room, but any suggestions for things that will make us stand out gratefully recieved!

Last resort will probably be tying a load of helium balloons to him....

In future when people ask if he's cheeky, I think I'm just going to show them this...

 

[eggs]

These are just too cute!

 

[Maxine67]

Omg he's so cute I love this thread and needed cheering up today

 

[southerncomfort]

He's just adorable!

 

[splashgirl45]

What a cute pony , love him being indoors and in the pub

 

[lynz88]

wow sssoooo cute!!!!!

 

[Surbie]

This is probably my new favourite thread - he's fantastic!

 

[P.forpony]

I won't tell him he has fans....
He already thinks rather highly of himself
But he does make smiling rather irresistible and its fun to share the joy

Also open to suggestions on what adventures we can add to the list in future!
Next on my list is a trip to the beach, I think he needs the sea breeze flowing through his mane!

 

[daffy44]

He is just too cute! I have two somewhat larger horses who would be wildly jealous at the pictures of him inside the house, its one of their biggest dreams, but they literally dont fit through the door!

 

[Maddie Moo]

He’s so gorgeous!

Not sure if it would work with a driving whip but you could try a Visiwhip flag? Link Or maybe one of the neon whip streamers you can buy?

 

[Unicorn]

He's adorable

Beach trip sounds like wonderful fun!

 

[splashgirl45]

I second the beach trip and lots of photos

Oh those look perfect!

And luckily he's so tiny a driving whip would probably poke him in the ears so we just use a normal schooling whip

 

[Rumtytum]

Absolutely love this thread, keep the adventures and pics coming, you can’t post too many!

Halloween trick or treating, and Christmas carol service..

Halloween trick or treating, and Christmas carol service..

Good thinking!
His presence was requested at the village fete earlier in the summer. He was fab but I was too busy worrying about the immaculately manicured lawn he'd been invited to snack on to get any photos!

He's the right shape and colour to be a pumpkin though!

 

[P.forpony]

Ok how on earth do I post a video without it rejecting the file type....?

 

[P.forpony]

Enjoying the sunshine while it lasts

Its nice to let someone else take the reins for a minute so I can giggle at him too!

This thread reminds me of the Yorkshire Shepherdess buying a shetland at the fair and taking him home in the back of the landy!
He's scrumptious, you're making me Shetland broody OP!

At the risk of creating a stereotype...
Is this where I admit I can fit him in the back of my landy too?

And that a serious conversation was had about needing another to make a nice pair
