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 can see lots of photos of ponies and dogs, but none of them are pink.

"In all those photos you can see the horse looking down at his front legs and thinking "WTF?" No he isn't - he's going into a lovely outline because he's so proud of his new colour!

This thread is ace. Has anyone recommended it for Classics or should I go first?

Pmsl at this thread!

Poor bloody thing - pink of all colours.

It does look a tad St Sebastian, doesn't it?

Bloody hell that's pink!!!!

Thank you

Money well spent for link

He is still quite pink, poor lambikin. Daughter really pleased though even though McPukes ended up in charge of the catering!

Next time I will definitely wear gloves, my hand still looks as though I've shoved it somewhere nasty.

ROFL, Mitchy, you are truly insane!

BTW, ladies, can I remind you, this is the same woman who thought it was a Good Idea to play football with a giant snowball and her Land Rover?

The snowball won..................

Argh you remember that!

'Tis only because I suffer dreadfully from Landy Envy - no horses, only drive on urban roads, cannot justify the Discovery my heart yearns after

Or alternatively, I keep a spreadsheet of Embarrassing Things People have Admitted on Mumsnet and try to remind them at all opportunities.

I showed dd the pictures and she says she's going to get an injunction to stop me going anywhere near her pony without permission. I think it was my mentioning tie-dye that really worried her.......

Oh come on, how can a snowball win over a Landrover?

Our Landrover has argued with some pretty though things - trees, concrete barriers on the motorway, river banks and so on, and only once has it come off worse when a horse and carriage bolted into it 3 weeks ago (back window broke and door is bent).

Oh, and my DH's cousin got drunk once and headbutted it, which left a dint in the door.

But a SNOWBALL? Giant or otherwise....

Now, about this pink pony.

seeker - it's got to be done - you could draw pretty patterns all over the pony with a candle and then douse it in food colouring - on your DD's pony it would come out even brighter

Quick, before DD saves up for that injunction...

I think my defender would have coped, tough metal bumper, but I was in the discovery and hit the snowball (compacted ice and snow, much higher than bonnet, biiiiiiig snowball) at slightly sideways angle. Smashed the lights, the bumper and front wing - it was like slamming into a brick wall. At first I thought the crunching sounds were of snow and ice but driving round again I could see a depressing amount of orange shards and black plastic at the base of the totally unscathed snowball. Got a pic of the damage somewhere, but anyway I swapped it for a disastrous old Rangie (which is for sale if anyone is interested). It was just ridiculously expensive to fix, given its age and nearly 300k miles etc. It was never really right for me anyway.

It would be good if more people dyed their ponies, am surprised at how seriously some people take life given that none of us get out alive anyway?

oooooh - batik! I hadn't thought of that!

Batik pony with tie-dyed mane and tail.

When is your DD's birthday?

December. She will have got the injunction sorted by then.

Can't you dress it up as a dragon next time complete with fire breathing skills?

OH. MY. GOD.

YOU were the one with the giant snowball! i remember that

woman you are crazy!

the pony is fabulous dahling

seriously though, how do we nominate for classics cause this HAS to be in it!

I dont think I've laughed so much in all my life, and it bloody hurts with tonslilitis...

I think he looks really embarrassed i'm afraid...

I also hope you wash away the place where the dying occurred or else it really looks like there has been a terrible massacre of some sort and might frighten the poor little part goers to death!!!

Can I just ask a technical question, why is only part of him pink? was is a problem with the mix ratio? or some other unforeseen problem?

I have to admit, i did have a peek at some of the other pictures of him being ridden, when the really nasty looking injury had worn off... he did look rather cute eventually...

But still embarrassed Im afraid... ;-)

YANBU. Terrific idea.

BLIMEY !!!
I hav heard of humans dying their hair , but not a blooming horse. Does the pony like it ?
It does sound very "BLING- BLING
As another mnetter said,, "Are you Jordan"?

God i laughed SEEKER. " When the pony looks down and thinks WTF " lol lol lol !!!!!

SUCCESS

PURPLE horse

at last!
