Ithought I was being a nice kind person. the field where my colt is turned out in resembles a snooker table with no grass whatsoever. On Saturday I took my car round to the field took my chair, ciggies and a book and got settled down with him on the lunge line on a piece of land behind my field where the grass in lovely.
After an hour I was rivetted in my book with a ciggie on the go and the pony was munching happily when down the lane that runs onto the bit of land a huge spraying machine thundered. The pony was scared to death and took off at 100 miles an hour with me following behind still in the chair being dragged on the ground, he finally came to a halt and I got up with as much dignity as I could totally covered in dust with blisters on all my fingers where the lunge line whipped thro. the man driving the sprayer was open mouthed and I just waved at him and put the pony back in the field and ran very quickly. I could have died of embarrasment I am not exactly lightweight and the chair was still stuck to my bum for about twenty yards not a pretty sight.

I remember something similar a good few years ago now. A lady who lived next door used to have a Sec B i used to ride and it was a hot day down at Ponies UK. She thought I would be nice to get the pony out for some grass and set herself down in a deck chair as the pony munched happily around her. She had been chatting away to people and not realised that the B had been doing circles around her on a lunge line when all of a sudden something spooked her and the lady was catapulted into the air! She was not a small lady either but the pony managed to give her a good dragging down the lorry park! Don't you just wish you had a video camera at the time!

Skint is rather dippy and so am I. We used to work together and couldnt take same holidays so skint took my daughter down to ponies for the week, it was hassle free apart from a minor caravan overload, failed brakes, picnic on the A1 and near crash All week I climbed walls and boss finally agreed to let me escape to Peterborough Friday lunch providing all well at office. Lunch came and I was all up to date and THEN A PACKAGE ARRIVED, small oblong box with movement, under investigation it was a lost pigeon, (boss flies then as a hobby and this one had forgot where it lived and had to be parceled home - or back to office where someone....me could sign for it) Anyway being a animal lover I thought I should give it a drink in a coffee jar top, huh , not happening my feathered friend had decided it had been boxed long enough and flew out as I tried to put the water in. You guessed two hours later, bird s...t everywhere and feathers the monster was caught and dually put back in its box. I had instruction if it came to drop it off at bosses house, so in the pouring rain I locked up, with hands full, complete with supplies for ponies (from tescos in carrier bags dutifully shopped for at lunch), handbag, umbrella cos it was that Friday that rained and rained and rained and pigeon. I walked up onto the top main road where car was parked, laden like a Spanish donkey and struggled to get key in door, just as i did this a bag of shopping broke so doging cars I put things down, opened door and bundled in shopping, umbrella and handbag, and set off........ OMG where was pigeon, I had only left it in the road so turned around, drove at 90 miles a hour in Sheffield rush traffic and there in the roadside, was pigeon in a very soggy and falling to bits box, which disintegrated as I picked it up. I was mortified I then did the only thing I could and put poor pigeon in the leg of my daughters Rambo chaps with head sticking out of foot end and velcro fastened tight. Pigeon dually delivered to bosses and yes arrived mega late to ponies in pitch black and rain..... stressed beyond all reason. The icing on the cake though was the boss dually announced the following week he had necked the pigeon as it couldnt perform

You 2 make me laugh (sorry) and brought to mind 2 stories of mine. 1. the deckchair. My mother was getting a new suite and was using a deckchair which burst and she became wedged in. Totally stuck and unable to unstick herself as none of us were in when she phoned she phoned the police who came to her rescue. 2. the pigeon. One little pigeon arrived absaloutely knackered at our garage one day, couldnt fly was so tired. Phoned SSPCA who gave use pigeon rescue number who gave us owners no, traced through pigeons leg ring. Spoke to owner, I swear I could hear the banjo being strummed by 6 fingers in the background. They arranged to have it collected next day, Pidge was put in a box with some coarse mix, no-one came next day, phoned the next to say they had forgot and would come next day but poor wee Pidge had passed away

There are tears running down my face over pigeon story I'm in a very quiet office trying not to laugh but God its difficult!!
I've got a good story - I had two orphaned lambs that I hand reared a few years ago and they grew up being my pets I called them Bruno and Tyson. My husband even put them in the back of the car when we moved house which was rather a funny sight as said sheep looked out of the window on the journey to their new home
Well at our new home they kept escaping over the road to the local abattoir so I thought it would be really kind to them and give them to my friends twin daughters as pets as they were very tame.
One Sunday I visited to see how they were doing and was invited to stay for lunch, as I sat down I was told that on todays menu was Bruno and Tyson was in the freezer for next week!
I'm still traumatized by the whole affair!! And that was 18 years ago!!
