A bit late for regrets now, hopefully it will be nice surprise rather than horrible shock. It's just so cochineal when was aiming for subtle pastel pink.

StealthPolarBear · 14/05/2010 15:23

MaisietheMorningsideCat · 14/05/2010 15:24

What - you dyed a real, live horse pink with food colouring? In the name of the wee man, why??

pedrothellama · 14/05/2010 15:26

As a surprise, she is having birthday party this evening and decorating some of the others. Thought would be nice head start so she could help her friends?

I need a photo!

KathyImLost · 14/05/2010 15:29

But... a REAL pony? Pics plz.

ShinyAndNew · 14/05/2010 15:29

You mean 'My Little Pony' no? I thought they were all pink and ghastly glittery anyway?

pedrothellama · 14/05/2010 15:30

Couldn't you have just had a few balloons and a cake? Maybe push the boat out with a clown?

But to dye the pony pink?
Erm do you have a photo of this unfortunate novel animal?

That still makes no sense at all - she's having a birthday party and decorating some of the other ponies, so you've dyed this one pink with food colouring?

What's wrong with bowling and pizza?

Mouseface · 14/05/2010 15:33

WTF...... you dyed a real live pony?????

PINK????

Oh I hope it's not permanent.........

Will await photo.

CMOTdibbler · 14/05/2010 15:33

Is he glittery yet too ? Bet you he rolls in some mud before the party !

pedrothellama · 14/05/2010 15:33

Wow - can't wait to see what happens on the kids 21st birthday! That is one party I really want to go to. I am getting right in with Mitchyinge's gang!

OrmRenewed · 14/05/2010 15:34

Will you also colour it's poo? Because that horse shit colour will not go with pink at all.

BattyKoda · 14/05/2010 15:34

'spose it makes a change from paint a pot parties.

BattyKoda · 14/05/2010 15:35

How the fuck do you dye a pony???

pedrothellama · 14/05/2010 15:35

Am I being stupid to wonder what colour is was before or is that now irrelevant?

whatwasthatagain · 14/05/2010 15:36

Oh Mitchy - just looked at your pics and your spaniel is almost as handsome as mine. You haven't really dyed a real life pony pink?

Downdog · 14/05/2010 15:37

YANBU, you are being Fantastic - wish you were my Mum! Yes photo please

(cochineal is harmless and will wash out with water)

pedrothellama · 14/05/2010 15:37

I don't care if you ABU or not. You are totally barking mad and I think you are great!
