It's no mystery, horse (pony) parties are the best to attend. But why is it that horse people just know how to party? We often get the 'false' accusation we are just party people and no sport-minded 'folks'. However us being the start of the (party)night is related to our sport... 1. We know what rhythm is. You try to trot on a young horse, if you manage, just join us for a dance. If not, please, step aside... 2. Most would cry and sulk if ‘so and so’ with the stiletto heels stood on their foot on the dance-floor or in the queue to the bar. Not us. Our little toes are used to being stood on by a 17hh cob with shoes on. I think we can handle a woman in a mini skirt. 3. We're fearless, that is a fact! We’ll happily gallop and jump over ditches and hedges on an animal stronger than any man. So plucking up the courage to chat up a certain someone at the party is nothing to be afraid of…right? 4. From Shetlands to shires… we appreciate them all. We’re open-minded when it comes to stepping out of our comfort zone and meeting new people. 5. We’re used to long, tiring days. If we can survive a day’s hunting, we have the stamina to party well into the early hours of the morning. 6. Our lives are so hectic and horsey we don’t actually get the chance to go to many parties. So when we do — we really go to town… 7. Our balance is pretty impressive. Whether that be dancing on the tables or winning the Bucking Bronco competition — we’ll be sure to turn heads. 8. We’re interesting (if you’re into horses…); “I’ve got a dressage competition next weekend / Tilly had a foal last Thursday…” There’s always something going on at the yard, or some kind of funny anecdote to tell.
