Title: Pony and trap
Post by: mrs bouquet on October 06, 2022, 14:08
 A lady who lives near me has just moved her pony into the field beside me.  It is an absolutely gorgeous small piebald Cob.  He has lovely feathers and very long mane.  He is placid and gentle and loves a nuzzle.
The owner uses him for trap driving.   The whole assembly is red and black.  She plaits his long forlock to keep it neat.   The whole thing is a delight.    Next week she is going to take me out.    His name is "Fraggle".
Ah, Ah,   Mrs Bouquet

How lovely, Mrs B!   A nice little trip out and a couple of new friends, one who is living in the field next to you.  What a lovely thing to have as a neighbour.  I just had to smile when I looked at the word NEIGHbour, it couldn't be truer in your case, could it.  I hope you have a lovely time on your trip in the trap.

My old Dad, a surrogate Cockney said a "Pony and trap" meant something utterly different. :ohmy: :ohmy:

I've never ridden in one as a        passenger, only ever driven or acted as groom on the rear.  I do hope you enjoy your journey.
