Are Fell Ponies just horses for courses?:eek:
Hello Everyone!!!
My Vest has just arrived - so I thought I'd say hello. The vest will be worn with great humour on Saturday at Pendle:rolleyes: Not my first ponies outing but the first with the vest? though I think I forget if I put a club down for Pendle! Oh well next time I'll get it all right.
It will be good to finally meet some other ponies on saturday.
did i read theres a few ponies doing pendle on sat and there's a bit of a meet afterwards or have i got wrong ?. if so is the course worth the ride over and is there food/pub lunch involved .then i may be tempted over to bring a little east yorks over to pendle and see if these vests are worth the wait.besides this pink alternative of emilou's sounds worth the ride just see that :D
A few ponies!!!... me thinks the whole stable:D , and as for worth the ride me and Fludgegate are saddling up all the way from the Mecca of the North East, no not Sunderland Mr Nee Bother, HARTLEPOOL:D I too can't wait to see the one in Pink, not you Amex:eek:Quote:

No. This'll be my first one and my 3rd competitive race, not that I've been very competitive in them! How many runners do you normally get in these races?Quote:

Hi DJ I'm intending to make Clay Bank West too, it takes a while to get there from Sun'lan tho as I need to slow down near Hartlepool to collect a bit of manure:p I'll say hello if I see your vest (I'll be wearing the proud purple DFR vest tho')
Watch them two Stallions from the pools' mind and don't leave any food around:D
Hi Nee Bother - Thanks for the food tip! Never thought I'd be looking forward to meeting people from Sunderland and Hartlepool;)Quote:

Still think it's a 'one off' special and I'm sure Vivien Westwood would be proud:D
See emmzi look what you have created if you had kept ssssshhhhh me and you could be the only ones wanting pink now they all want one!!Quote:

Power to the Pony!
it is granpa flump,it was a toss up between him and pootle but my daughter chose me granpa.i should of maybe checked your cakes out before i shot my mouth off:o .its my debut trot out pony stable too potto but without a vest. looking forward to putting a few faces to names:)
Think that makes it 9 Ponies trotting out at Pendle now!:)
Sounds as though I'll be missing a treat this weekend. Got to work, so have to miss it... Enjoy the running and the post race WI Cake-Off.;)
wont have time with work to make cakes for sat. but can have some ready, by rotherham maybe.........;)
Mr Nee Bother, you forgot to mention it is high quality manure:D , dont tell everyone about our passion for food otherwise they will hide all the cakes that people are baking and taking to Pendle.You should come down,just for the food you need a bit of weight on to slow you down:)Quote:
