and boy, was it so weird! the gait is so different, it's like all the normal movements of riding are sideways and bouncy!!! anyone have any tips?
I keep my horses right in a city, their paddocks are all accessible (outside the fences) by footpath. They are a pretty popular attraction for the locals and have loads of frequent visitors. Of course, people are idiots and it's not all roses, we've had people get in the field and litter, or try to mess with the horses, or feed them stupid stuff.
One of the silliest, though, was tonight. One of my ponies had been left on his own at the paddock, so I was heading down to move him to the field a mile away to reunite with the others. He's very clingy so I was fully expecting him to running around, screaming like a banshee. Got to the paddock, silence. Called his name, silence. Uh oh.
Hurry further down the paddock, call his name and he appears, then trots off again to the end. Once I'm closer I can see someone stood by the gate patting him. Get a bit closer and i'm hit with a HUGE smell of weed and I can there's a guy there with a beer can and joint in one hand, sharing a packet of ginger biscuits through the fence with my pony. No wonder he was being so quiet!
The guy was very nice (but very VERY stoned) and told me that he'd read about it in a book and that it was a very happy horse who'd eaten half the packet. I did explain he shouldn't feed strange horses human food but not sure it sunk in with my pony trying to nick the packet off him!
So I realized that we will be in the middle of the Hiatus for a while and so a thought occurred to me. Some of the highlights of watching the episodes from Season 8 as they premiered was reacting and discussing the episodes with y'all in real time. We starting Season 8 today.
So following up on this yesterday's thread, is the Season 8 episode 13 "The Mean 6". So go watch via whatever means you can and come back to discuss this early episode below.
And here is a link to the Season 8 episode 12 "Marks for Effort" from yesterday if you want to chime in and discuss the precious episodes in case you missed the previous threads.
No really. Y'all are more then welcome to add/contribute to the previous discussions. Really.
So I realize it's a bit late in the game to do so but I have compiled a few masterlists of all of the Unofficial Episode Discussion Threads we have discussed by each season we have watched them for easier access to comment on, read, look back on what we have said, and other such useful whatnots.
