Ummmm Question

[Agent XXX999]

Does anyone else out there use the word 'Pony' as a term of affection for their horse? As in (says to 18hh warmblood) Ahhhh I love my Pony! or (to YO) I am going to clip my pony...

Am I just wierd? LOL!

 

[BroadfordQueen]

no we do....roman is such a pony only standing at 17 2hh.....

 

[Agent XXX999]

LOL! Thought I might be going mad when...

Me: You looked really good when you were jumping today...what a nice pony!

Livery (completely seriousely): Did you know he was a horse? They are only ponies up to 14.2hh and then they are horses?

Not in a 'you idiot dont call my horse a pony' way, in a 'genuinely thinks I dont know and she was teachimg me something new' way! The horse is 16.3!

Maybe I should open my mouth and help people more often on the yard, people clearly think I am thick!

 

[LauraBR]

Mine gets referred to as donkey. Hubbie started it...

 

[Happy Horse]

I call all horses ponies and all dogs are puppies!

 

[vic07]

all mine are ponies! from 15.3hh to 17.2hh!

 

[Snowberry]

yep - we're off to see a lovely 16.3 pony for Becci today!! LOL

 

[tormor]

yes they are all ponies

 

[Super_Kat]

Mine are 16hh, 16.2hh & 17hh and they're all ponies/donkeys/nags/neds/barstewards/c*nts.............depends what sort of mood I'm in really

 

[RachelB]

Having just posted a reply to another thread and called my 15.3hh mw ID a pony, yes I do! My pony (14.1hh Welsh Cob) was always small pony or small mare, and Maiden is pony or big mare! And I call both of them noodle when they're being thick! Maiden acts more like a (sensible) pony though, not a horse!
My puppy is still puppy though, and the cats (2 years old) are kittens.

 

[ladylisa]

[Ludi-doodi]

My OH always says "have a good pony" when I go off up to the yard even if I'm not off to ride!

 

[filly190]

I wonder why

 

[KateStartin]

Spent some time in nottingham and got very confused when people started asking me how my bobo (notts people is that how you spell it?) was.

 

[Santa_Claus]

Yep my 'pony' stands at a slightly overheight 17h2 as well

 

[sunny123]

yep i have lots of little ponies/fattys/donkeys/neddies. and always get told off for calling the dog a puppy, but he is, but only when he is being cute, the rest of the time he goes by the name 'sh*t bag'
