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.

Argh am in trouble for staining yard blood colour. Ok, thanks for your support and honesty on with the party!

At least noone will EVER forget the party...

I do think he looks embarrased - but I am sure the glitter will make it all better - how is the purple thing going? I think I might have done for borrowing a purple rug on that one...

He definitely needs some clip-in mane hair extensions in hot pink to compliment the look.

I think he needs loads of red lipstick and long batting eyelashes

OMG!. I thought it was an equine extra for Kill Bill. Did make me laugh though.

I hope to goodness the colouring comes out post party and that your DD appreciates all the trouble you've gone to.

The more I think about this, the funnier it gets!

ASecretLemonadeDrinker · 14/05/2010 16:26

Jesus, he looks like he has just committed a murder! For my shame I happen to know you can buy glitter hoof oil. Tie some pink ribbons in his hair... in for a penny and all that!

I want to dye my big,fat stripy grey cat pink so she will look like Bagpuss. But nobody will let me...not least the cat

Gibbon · 14/05/2010 16:27

oh don't say arab seeker , it makes me pine for my childhood pony and feel

[sigh]

Anyhow, back to the thread.

Fucking hell. He looks like he's been tortured.

I can hear her telling her therapist now.

stealthsquiggle · 14/05/2010 16:28

cupcakes you are a genius - what would be superb would be a rainbow of mane extensions along his mane. Or sparkly ones.

Poor sod is never going to be able to hold his head up in the yard again, is he?

msVal · 14/05/2010 16:28

dye the cat! dye the cat!

CrankyTwanky · 14/05/2010 16:28

Dear god that is one camp pony!
He even has his hind leg at a jaunty "hello sailor" angle.
The real give-away though is that his mane is on the wrong side.

Here's hoping mitchy junior doesn't see her beloved pony covered in blood and burst into tears of anguish....

BorisTheBold · 14/05/2010 16:30

I love it (and I'm not a pink kinda gal) - I bet your dd will too!

ASecretLemonadeDrinker · 14/05/2010 16:31

this is how I imagined it to be...

pedrothellama · 14/05/2010 16:33

Do you think maybe Mum should invite a child psychologist along?

Just to be on the safe side y'know....
