Someone obviously isn't concentrating today.

how often does the ponies shoes need replacing
shodding a fell pony cannot be easy :o
Seems to depend on the breed Daz, the Northern Irish Ponies (with their distinctive white flanks) seem to go through them at a shocking rate....so much so that they have to smuggle them back to the stable without their Mares seeing them;)Quote:

someone told me as soon as he gets his nosebag on he is as good as gold
perhaps he paddled in the river bann in northern ireland as a young pony
little does he know i know all the pony families in northern ireland
Im not convinced he could ever really be brought into line...i would say he may have some donkey blood in him but hes a bit quick for a mule:cool:Quote:

Glad you said that coz he's criticized me in the past for "bouncy" running....calls it uneconomical and will swear blind that he doesnt bounce. As you have witnessed for yourself, thats poppycock, he runs like he has spacehoppers on his feet:)Quote:

Its was Strangford Lough, rather than the river Bann...... I was sadly never near the mountains in N.I

As a novice fell pony I would hate to disgrace myself at a future gathering so can anyone give me advice on the correct answers, especially question 9?
[quote=FellMonster;74344]Bouncy? Not at all!

I thought that was the domain of geriatric ponies I fear he who should be known as "pony express" has been eating too many dandelions in his feed they,re a diuretic don,t you know. Either that or The Master has been slipping him some Lasix in an attempt to slow him up a little. :D
With regard to question 9 all the options are correct by way of handicapping certain ponies who would be far easier to stay with especially when running a fell race whilst wearing leather boots,pulling a lawn mower and trying to clear a pond. :DQuote:
