Nice to meet some of the ponies yesterday and well done to all.
The post run beer soothed some of the aches and pains (thanks Mr C).
I feel more of a pit pony today :( the old legs are a bit sore.
Yes nice to meet the other ponies yesterday and give the vest it's first outing - sorry it was such a disaster:(
Couldn't face the pub guys this lame little filly needed to go home and feel sorry for herself - home you had a shandy or too fo me:o
I'll try for a clear round next time and maybe plait the forelock - t'was giving me some vision concerns when the wind kept whipping it in my face:eek:
nice to meet stable at last wasnt it a grand day out. missed the beer at the end though couldnt see any ponies to tag onto, maybe next time. hope your ok emilou and on the mend. there were some good times from the ponies esp. the sub 3's welldone all.:)
Sorry we missed you Old Un, we thought everyone was in, you should have wandered into the pub (there's only one) we were in there. Maybe next time.;)Quote:

The Fludge, Stolly and myself had a great cat and mouse event, heres to more days like that on the fells. Thanks to Mr Crumbly for his backpack duties and his eternal words of encouragement Hope to see you all soon.
How is "Come on you big Jessie!" misconstrued as eternal words of encouragement??:DQuote:

Oh by the way thanks for supporting the David staff race next weekend. I wont be around but its our club event.
If he was in black tights (that sounds odd) then i reckon it was Sluggard....am i right Ponies??Quote:

It was good to meet the legendary ponies on Sat. A bunch of friendly odd bods mixed together with one common interest - fell running!
'twas a strange experience in a Fell Pony vest too, within minutes of it being donned by my grand physique someone accosted me in the car park to introduce themselves and there were lots smiles and nods of recognition for the vest during and after the race. The vest does kind of carry a strange aura that people seem to like, well done to all Ponies - keep it up!
Was a top race, good pint after and good to meet so many new faces.
No I have met sluggard, this chap had grey spikey hair.Quote:

Did you run yesterday??/
Tis all about the vest Potto....and attitude!Quote:

In fact, the more i think about it, racing in a home made vest is more true to the cause of being a Fell Pony so all you lot who have bought (lovely) vests and that includes me....are lightweight Ponies!
Anarchy brothers....and sisters:D
I did indeed run yesterday....im the weedy Pony:DQuote:

i think that may have been me who accosted you in the car park potto it was my first outing too and you was the first vest i saw .good to meet you anyway mate :)

Well reporting in in on the damaged foreleg - think sundays Dave Staffs a go-er, went for a swim, sauna and hydrotherapy session tonight - still really swollen and not looking too fine in fact kind of looks as someone put it that I've "been in a car crash"!!!:eek: BUT, it's bearable - reckon if I'm pampered all week and with a bit of light trotting round the stable block it should be fine.
no snow here but the new zealand rugs out of the box brrrrrrrrrrrrr
If we are all lightweight ponies does that mean Amex no longer has to diet???:D
There was 2 north east nags ran around that time, Ambrosia Kid wearing a long sleeve white top under his pony vest and his mate the Fludge who had a black tee shirt under his vest came in just after, hope that helps Jamie.:)Quote:

This is why i love being a pony, absolutely none, no where in sight, on nobody's mind the idea of wearing a high viz jacket, this country has to many high viz jackets and to many people telling you to wear one.
Anarchy anarchy anarchy:cool:
*hmmm thinks how he can beat emmzi*
