Soo much!
On this new fangled forum, the thanks buttons don't make any sense. Sometimes it goes green, sometimes the number of thanks goes up?0 -

Pony Club today involved a spectacular meltdown by DD2 when she refused to get off the hoss and drink her milk.
So spectacular was it that DD1 rode Plops in the mini gymkhana games ( very slowly so they didn't win ). I have been kicked and bitten, not
by the animals but by my 7 year old.
Consequently day #2 of the storecupboard challenge and fiscal fast got blown in a mercy dash to tossco for half price pizza and Cotes de Gascogne.
That'll learn me for criticising the other parents.On the bright side, the Plops was a veritable angel, given that lead reining is a foreign concept to her. She was a proper comedy pony when she saw some eejit (sorry everyone but Laura Jo and Watty who will get it) lungeing a pony before putting their kid on it. The look on her face when she realised ponies could be made to do exercise WITHOUT A RIDER was priceless. Horrified!
So at least the whole family got a day out including the animals.
Ha ha PC sounds like fun! I wish I could have joined as a kiddo. I'm seriously thinking of joining RC (small issue that I've loaned mental horse out!!)
Can't bel someone was lunging before they put their kid on?! Not sure I would want a kid on something like that!????Mortgage starting balance 2011 ... £170k today £1.5k

Well no, I wouldn't put any of mine on it.
How mental is the horse?0 -
Lunging is sometimes the only way the ponies behave! Used to know one that would buck or pee off unless exhausted first. Owner finally sold him as a companion.
Am with Laura Jo on wishing I could still go to pony club!Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became
In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!0 -

He's in a lovely loan home now - going to see him next week
Tbh he's not for me as I can't seem to stay on!
He needs someone much better! He is just not the horse I tried out
He however is a total total sweetie on the ground and very loving. I am reluctant to sell him (even tho I know I should really!)Mortgage starting balance 2011 ... £170k today £1.5k

I never even went to PC - didn't get on a horse til I was 30 (we had quite a non adventurous upbringing!)
However I'm now riding / squishing a 13'1 pony so even tho I'm mid 30's (ish!) surely that qualifies me for PC?!Mortgage starting balance 2011 ... £170k today £1.5k
