Hello from the Percydale Ponies

We are the Percydale Ponies and our names are Bubble and Squeak. You can learn more about us if you visit www.thepercydaleponies.co.uk which is our very own web page. This blog is to keep you up to date with our adventures and all the mischief we are getting up to. Plus what our New Mum is doing.Because we are strong and healthy and don't like being shut in stables we live out of doors all year round. We have a big field shelter if we want it but we mostly use it in summer to keep cool.
We had such a cold and snowy winter that we both grew very thick, hairy coats. Now that we are moulting when New Mum grooms us she doesn't use a brush, she pulls clumps of hair out which feels really nice. She says it's a pity people don't use horse hair for stuffing chairs because we have so much she could make a fortune.
This is us in the daffodils. Squeak is on the left  and Bubble is on the right. We are still a bit hairy in this picture so we'll put in another photograph in summer when we look really beautiful - even more beautiful that we look here. New Mum says that pulling our hair out in clumps makes her sound really cruel but it's just like when we groom each other. The only difference is that we use our teeth and she uses her fingers. We think that if she tried to use her teeth her nose would get in the way. We feel sorry for people because they have to use some sort of stick things to put things in their mouths. We can just eat without fussing.
