It's been a little while since I've posted. I've had a bit of the up-and-downs here, so I'll start with telling you about those. They were different kinds of up-and-downs!

The first one was some jumpies. I had to do 8 of them in a row! :eek: It was very exciting. But it was ok, not nearly as scary as it was before, and I got praised lots!

The second one was a trot in the woods. It was a long trot, and we went to a place we hadn't gone before. With us were the big grey horse that went to go run with the howling and tooting things with me, and the black-and-white horse that tries to bite me whenever I go past his stall, and another big grey horse. The Scary Chicken-Flap Man was there too. In the new place, the grass was suddenly really really deep and it was wet and felt all sinky, so I wanted to run really really fast to get out of there. The Carrot Lady didn't want me to run really really fast, so I had to to some up-and-down instead, and some kicking out, too. She actually thought there was something caught in my tail! :D That was fun. ;)

The third one was some more jumpies. This time, they were at the place where we sometimes go in the winter to do circles. My feet were a bit sore, so I didn't really want to trot, but it wasn't so bad on the grass, and the Carrot Lady insisted, and so I tried to do some of the jumpies really, really fast, and that wasn't quite right either, apparently, but anyway, I got praised lots again. :) One of the other carrot people held on to my reins for a while, and I tried to take the food she was eating but she didn't let me. :o

The fourth one, we went to the square place with a roof on again to do some more circles. We went twice. The first time, my feet hurt again a little bit, and I didn't want to make circles, and so the Carrot Lady took me home again. The second time was worse, because my feet still hurt, and so I tried walking backwards lots, and doing some of the Kung-Fu Pony moves, and all I got was smacked, so we did some circles, and then she said sorry for making me do the circles, when all she could have done was not make me do the circles in the first place. :( And then I got put in pony jail again, and got smacked on the bum again just because I didn't want to go in there, and how is that fair? :mad: I'm still in pony jail, by the way. :(

But at least my feet don't hurt anymore. :cool:

Today's up-and-down was up into a stall on wheels, and then back down again after I got some grass and some white minty things with holes in. It was a different stall on wheels than I've seen before. The Carrot Lady was really excited for some reason, and said we would be going on a Beech Ride! That sounds very tasty; I really like beech leaves, but I'm a bit concerned, because I don't usually get to eat anything when she's sitting on me, so how am I meant to enjoy the beech leaves on the Beech Ride? :confused: Maybe it's a trot to some beech trees, and then we get to stop to eat some leaves! :cool:

Anyway, that's the up-and-downs!

Hi there Spooky,
We went to do some jumpies 'cross country' (it wasn't it was in D and W's field :confused: ) I got into trouble because I just went up and down infront of the jump, the person I own then said that we would withdraw, I cantered sideways up the big hill and got into trouble again! I got lots of brownie points the other day (not sure what they are, but they seem to go with treats :) ) I took R the pony for a rode with her boy on board, and when she decided that they would be safer going home TPIO got hold of the lead rope and I took charge of all four of us :D. We met the boys mother and went for a picnic with B, BUT the humans got to eat and there was no grass under the trees! :( I have discovered that I don't like the pastry from pork pies, I thought I did, but I don't.
Hope you get out of goal soon, I am on a field with almost no grass and am being given STRAW to eat, how poor is that.
Keep the faith Spooks

Hi Spooky,

sounds like you've had an exciting time of it! I've been mostly eating and snoozing. Mum has been quite busy and I've been having a bit of a holiday. Tom is starting to annoy me though, almost as much as the nasty big bitey flies, so I booted him yesterday. Unfortunately, mum saw and told me off. :eek: I sulked for hours, but mostly as an excuse to hide from averyone in my nice cold stable!

The beech ride is actually a Beach ride... nothing to do with beech leaves. It's a big open sandy place with water on one side. It's really good for going really really fast and racing your friends. Tom likes to dig holes that then fill with water. Oh,... don't drink the water it tastes horrible! We sometimes get made to go into the water. I don't like it as it rushes up to you then makes white noiseyness, but Tom likes to go for a swim.

It's really good fun, and we usually get to roll in the sand at the end too!

Carrots,

Ron
 
Dear Current Appy,
your pony jail sounds even worse than mine: at least I get hay to eat, even if it is wet much of the time. Do you have a friend in pony jail with you? I'm alone sometimes, and I don't like that at all. Would you like to come live in my pony jail with me?

Dear Ron,

The Beach sounds like a very exciting place! :eek:
