Pictures The Adventures of Cousin It!

Cousin It has another wobbly tooth!

Odd and not quite on the scale of cute and adorable he usually provides, but I'm peculiar and find it rather interesting, and also because I'm quite proud of the fact he has a good and properly to scale mini mouth 😊
Its his near side upper incisor, pics to follow when he's less wriggly 😂
 
Ok chaps I'm not sure if I should be alarmed or proud...

Cousin It went for a lovely drive round the village today trotting on bright and keen.
I put him on the good grass side of the garden when we got back, I just open the doors because its easier to let him through the house than me go outside and do the gates.
He's only been allowed on that side for an hour or two at a time so he doesn't explode, but...

He just knocked on the door to come back inside!
Apparently it's been a long hard day and he wants a comfy head rest and a snooze 🙈😂

Ok H&H hive mind help needed!

Cousin It has been requested to repeat his appearance at the Village Fete this year, and I've been asked to think of a game to accompany his appearance...

Last year he'd been on a weighbridge the week prior so guess the weight of the pony was easy and amusing.

But now I'm a bit stumped!
Ideas and suggestions for what we can do this year gratefully received 😊
 
Is he well known in the village? If not, could you do a guess the name of the pony, like guess the name of the teddy bear. You could have a big chart of names for people to choose from and have some fun making them up!
 
Fete update!

After being scrubbed within an inch of his life this morning, Cousin It did indeed greet his adoring public at the village Fete 🙈

He was an absolutely brilliant boy, mobbed by children, pushchairs and prams put under his nose for 3 hours straight, and not a single small child was devoured, not even a nibble!

He did bite me once! 🤨
But then immediately redeemed himself by standing like a rock and being incredibly gentle so a lady in a wheelchair could reach to stroke him and adore him for about 10 minutes.

We went with guess his birthday, and to my great satisfaction the prize was won by a very sweet little girl who kept coming back to give him another kiss 🥰

Picture of his post bath superhero costume because I forgot to take any while we were out!

Also not to steal Cousin It's thunder...
But his big brother deserves an honourable mention for doing his first 20k graded endurance ride this weekend, and coming home with a grade 1, a post ride vetting heart rate of 40bpm, and some lovely compliments from the vet calling him a sweetheart and a gentleman 🥰

So my human life may be disastrous! 🙈😂
But my collection of wonderful creatures seem to have a way of making everything worth it in the end 😊
 
Time for Tea said:
Well done big brother. They are all just wonderful aren’t they? I think big brother deserves a turn on the sofa. It’s only fair…….😆

I'd actually let him!
He does occasionally get a turn at lawnmowing, but I have a 90° turn from the back door and then another into the hallway so it's a bit of a squeeze for a proper horse, he popped his head in once and fairly sensibly decided against it!
