So as weather was dry at least (has either been freezing or wet in 'sunny' Devon lately),decided to take grumpy pony out for a ride.He's hairy,fat and muddy but needs the exercise so I braved embarrassment at the state of him and went out!!
I even dragged OH along to take pics for you lot,see how good I am to you all
He was fabby as ever whilst out,I know we're not the best of friends,but I really do have the most bombproof pony to take out on the roads etc.Had everything today from motorbikes to out of control radio controlled
cars (yes radio controlled cars on the road!!)and he didn't bat an eye at any of it
Did mainly walk with just a little bit of trot as he's so unfit bless him,but figure slow and steady is best to get him fit anyway,and was a fair bit of hill work so that should help,although am not sure he would agree lol.
Please excuse the scruffiness of him,I did *try* and spruce him up a bit,but is fighting a losing battle with him out 24/7 and the mud and wet etc.
Luckily being such a dull day meant it was dark enough not to show up his most offending dirty bits in the pics lol
Just ignore me in them please,I always seem to look slightly gormless in riding pics,and OH always seems to catch me just at the moment I'm doing something odd or making a funny face!!
Before we set off after my attemp to make him presentable,didn't work very well,scruffy ponio!!
Off we go through the housing estate,quite a busy road and double decker bus route,does he care?? Does he hell lol
Stopping for a pose on the private driveway of the posh housing development,although he minded was eyeing up the grass next to us lol
Wending our way home back through the village,got rather dark all of a sudden even though was only around 4pm,sorry for the glare on my high viz,hope it doesn't dazzle anyone!!
Hope you enjoy pics of the equine Victor Meldrew,and thanx for looking
