Should have gone by pony!

Hmmm well while Zippy and I have been safely tucked up inside our stables at night and left to roam our snowy fields during the day, Mum has been busy working to keep us in pony nuts and hay. She whizzed down this morning with Uncle Tony to let us out and feed us. Note to self rations seem to be getting smaller - suspicion is currently placed with Zippy as her waistline has definitely been getting bigger - yes your bum is starting to look big in that rug!

Anyway I digress, Mum thought she would do her good deed for the day and drop Uncle Tony off at work as his car was in the garage and it was snowy and she has her lovely 4x4. Ohhhh I bet she wishes they had ridden us ponies. Uncle Tony was safely delivered to work and Mum was only half a mile from home very carefully driving along the tricky icy single track lane when WHAM! A very stupid BMW driver who was using the lane as a 'shortcut' because he was running late, drove round the corner far to fast and hit her car square on the nose!

Now its sitting all poorly in the drive awaiting an insurance man to come collect it - we know all of this because Benji was in the car and Mum says we've got to keep an eye on him in case he has whiplash! I'm keeping a close eye on the whips but they have been put up high, so not too sure if they are supposed to be lashed down or whether we should be lashing Benji with them - but that doesn't seem very fair to Benji - does it?

Wonder whether this means we could get a brand spanking new horse lorry as a replacement?

  1. Oh no no no shouldn't have gone by pony. Unless they went across the fields and not on the roads that is. Cars are just bits of metal that can be replaced. Ponies are priceless.
    Of course as ponies we are the greatest off road transport there is. Getting places no car can get.
