Ihr fiel Pony laufen Weste ist da :)
Google translate is brilliant - that reverse translates to English as:
'My pony was running vest is here'
Rules? This is fell running :D.Quote:

Going to stretch my legs and make some space for the proper training... post run eating.
I am the masters humble servant and yes my master is slight in frame, but i alas i am of the larger frame build and i rive your thrown gauntlet off the floor, and take up my masters place, and accept your challenge in the titchy ones place!Quote:

My guess would therefore be that problems would only arise if a Pony who belonged to another club tried to count in competition as a Pony, or if a team of second-claim Ponies was up for a prize.
Whilst as free spirited creatures we will toss our manes and whinny "Fie upon your rules," I'm sure none of us wants to make the life of a race organiser any more difficult than it is already. This might mean exercising judgement about when and when not to be a Pony.
Personally, I'm so unlikely to ever count in competition for any club that it's totally irrelevant which vest I wear and I'm hoping that my brand new Fell Pony saddlecloth arrives in time for a gallop out at the Shepherd's Skyline!
yep - that's kinda what I was thinking too!! On the highly unlikely to ever be in contention for anything other than a trot over a furlong or two - this galloping malarky is over rated:DQuote:

Overweight fell ponies at Saltergate Gallows, Nee Bother has a cheek, at 9stone wringing wet anyone over 10 stone looks fat to this racing snake. Anyway it was the older fell pony carrying a few extra pounds not me:D
Count me in on the cake eating challenge. What tangent is this master?
Its one of many Pudding Boy....my favourite today has been the gauntlet throwing of Pony Taylor....splendid:DQuote:
