Lock's Story

Hi I’m Locks, I have a HUGE attitude and that’sa good thing right?  Yeah right it’s agood thing and actually a compliment.  Ilive in a commune surround by lots fit looking mares – my mares and wow do theylove me ….

I’ve owned my humanfor just shy of 6 years now.  She isgenerally doing OK and we are still working on her manners.  Bit of a blip in the relationship at themoment as I’m on a no treats in the stable routine right now ….  Over reaction from the human if ever therewas one … I mean it was just ONE tiny little bite – I hardly broke the skin andnot that much blood … AND … how do I know that so called bruise was relatedeh?  In fact, my human has a bony elbowand actually, she hurt my teeth – yes, you hurt my teeth.  So lets get this sorted before YOU are up forsale …..

My human is a bit of a wimp ifI’m honest and doesn’t seem to enjoy Pokemon GO – I’ve been playing it foryears and look, no SMART phone so listen up humans, you are not doing itright.  My human does not want to join mein this game which spoils my fun. During a particularly big andrare find and actually, it quite took me by surprise and I was sooooo excitedmy human spoiled like EVERYTHING by flying off my back  - game over ….

My human now has the odd meltdown and I’ve noticed these humans like their dramatics from time to time ….

I don’t know what allthe fuss is about this Wobbleberry Challenge ….. seriously guys like CHILL OUT… I’ve told you over and over … the humans are going on a diet AGAIN ….. nowcome on we’ve seen it all before.  Theysit around talking about points, syns, carbs…. Blah, blah, blah – hey humanswant to know what we think of your diet? Let me show you…

Take a tip from me though – whenthis Wobbleberry diet starts, the humans will be walking around with smallwhite plastic boxes … grab them fast and eat them quick – trust me.  The last one I grabbed contained all sorts oflovely treats – strawberries, banana, carrot slices and a few other bits I didn’trecognise.  Yes the human will startshrieking but once you’ve eaten it guys, game over and we all jog on ….

Lets stop the panic about thisBE80 shall we?  I’ve told you guys overand over …… it’s a diet drink so stop the gossip eh boys – lets not upset mymares …..  So as the Red Bull disappearsas the humans get on their diets this BE80 drink comes in and personally, Ican’t wait to try it – it may taste nice ……

My human and I finally agree onsomething and that’s good – we agree that this Wobbleberry Challenge or Diet orwhatever will raise valuable funds for cancer research and we both get that solets support these humans in their challenge. 

I’m going to prove I’m asupportive boy and not the Mr. Attitude you all think I am so here goes

Nice to meet you all and takecare

Love from Locks xxx

PS – don’t look at my mares ….They are mine

 

Faye's Story



So my name is Faye (although I prefer to be known by my fulltitle Miss Princess Faye by the humans in my life). My human is Rachel and Ihave owned her for about five years now, she is alright but it has taken me along time to train her. For example it took her years to realise that fallenhay from my hay net is no longer edible, that I will shred cheap rugs and thefirst polo in a pack must be sampled by me.

For the past five years my human has been telling me that Ineed to slow down and we have had many debates regarding acceptable speedwhilst hacking. One of my proudest moments was jumping over a cross pole and outof the school, with Rachel wailing like one of those baby humans.  At the beginning, my human was keen tocompete but because of my good looks and personality her ‘little humans’decided start riding and they brought the geldings (or dumb and dumber as Ilike to call them). Don’t get me wrong, the geldings are ok now that theyunderstand I am in charge and must be fed first, but they took up all of myhumans time after being initiated into some cult called the pony club.

My human went from riding every day to barely at all andwhen she did….well it wasn’t good. She still gets tense, huffs and puffs like atrain and has definitely put on a few pounds. I was lured into a false sense ofsecurity and believed I was semi-retired and that a golden carrot for my yearsof prancing like a princess would be coming my way.

This all changed a few months ago. I was minding my ownbusiness trying to break the stable door by rubbing my tail on it (my humanhates me doing this which adds to the fun), when I overheard the human andothers like her mention a Wobbleberry. My ears pricked up as I assumed it was anew flavour in the lickit range (these make me happy, but the human gets upsetwhen I eat them in minutes). I waited patiently for a few days for my lickit toarrive, in fact I was so focused on this that at the time I did not notice thehuman (and her extra pounds) had started riding me again. In fact it was onlywhen she started to get ‘brave’ and jumped (well I trotted) over a 1ft6 crosspole that it dawned on me……I was not going to get a Wobbleberry Lickit.

My human has started training and suddenly insists that I gointo the corners of the school. She seems to think we will be competing at a BE80 next year (she has a long way to go as she is petrified of being watchedwhilst riding), along with three other horse friends of mine and their humans.I am not convinced but will give it a go as we are supporting Willbury WonderPony, a charity that raises money for bone cancer research. I would be verygrateful if you could donate to help my human and I raise money for such a goodcause. I am hoping when I have done it, I finally may get my wobbleberryflavour lickit!

Love Miss princess Faye x
