To dye daughter's pony pink?

[MitchyInge]

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.

I've never typed this before but I do quite literally have tears in my eyes from laughing at that poor pink horse

Oh - pretty pretty pony! He needs ribbons and glitter though!

Excellent! Not permanent, so no harm done.

I sprayed my pony with gentian violet and back combed her mane and tail when I was 11 (we were entering a fancy dress party as punks). Got into a huge amount of trouble for that!

Hope your daughter has a brilliant time.

that is one very funny looking pony!

I think he looks lovely - kind of like the horse when Dorothy gets to the Emerald City. Hope your daughter has a great party.

There's a picture on my profile, Gibbon, if you want to pine further.

I hope you've got glittery hoof varnish, mitchy!

Please come and tell us what your daughters reaction was, I think its fab but a bit shocking

I have no fucking idea what a Gay Hussar is but I'm 99% certain that's his mount.

ah, the Gay Hussar - reminds me of my mis spent youth!

OTW, my friends, OTW.

I am incredibly urban so the idea that people actually have real horses as pets seems like something from another dimension. Then to discover they dye them pink.. well, its an educayshun itellya.

Let me reassure you, onebat, they don't. Or rather, they haven't......up to now!

ANd glittery hoof varnish sounds like a euph for something you wouldn't google, an all.

Seeker, I'm pleased to hear it.

I'm afraid it's true that when I see the words 'My horse' it doens't quit compute for me. Like 'my stealth drone' or 'my starling'.

Do you think poor abused humiliated pony would feel better if he thought he was starting a trend?

OneBat - "people" round us have ponies (definitely plural). We don't, and won't ever, given that we already have a house-shaped money pit and don't need one or more horse-shaped ones to add to it.

There's been a report.
I'm sure there's no truth in it but we have to follow them up.
Can I see your skewbald pony please. It won't take a minute.

roffle

I feel like that about "my tube station" or The Gay Hussar"
Things that give me a faint bat-squeak of recollection from a previous life!

seeker. (bat-squeak is a good word)

That poor pony is going to require months of therapy.

MItchyInge, I fear for your sanity.

(OH btw your brown and white spaniel looks just like one of my dad's that died a few years ago, sniff).

Damn - now I have to acknowledge that bat-squeak is not my own. A small pot of virtual glittery hoof varnis for anyone who can attribute it.

OMG - I've been thinking about this poor hoss all afternoon. He looks like he's just had a lucky escape from the glue factory - please put a (pink) rug over him, or at least warn your DD in advance! This has to be one of the funniest threads in ages

(disclaimer - I do not actually think horses and glue factories are funny)

Oh seeker...jumping too wonderful memories....we keep saying we'll move further out and have a couple of horses on the land but I doubt we'll ever do it.

I have been thinking of this pony all afternoon. I keep looking at the pic and it still looks like it's been on a hack through an abattoir to me

Poor thing looks as though he's just had a skin graft.

I do hope your daughter enjoys her party!

Thank you for the entertainment

hilarious. Still at 'dye the cat! dye the cat!'
