TXH XEX H I N D Q U A RT E R
Dear readers, I am afraid I will be unable to write my usual witticisms for you all this month. A terrible event has befallen my stable yard, and I am taking some time for myself to recover from the emotional trauma. A miniature stallion has arrived on the property (a mere 66cm tall from all reports), and the owners of every other horse in the yard have quite frankly lost their minds. They have spent hours ogling him from outside the door, and quite normal behaviours seem to send them wild with excitement. The other day he whinnied and owners flocked to his door to ‘ooh’ and ‘aah’. I whinny and my mother shushes me. He whinnies and the world comes running. To add to the abandonment issues this is creating, I heard my mother utter the words, ‘Maybe I can just shrink Pridey? He’d be so much cuter in miniature, and it isn’t like he lets me ride him anyway.’ Friends, I am left terrified for what the future holds. I am taking some time out for soul-searching and, if I’m absolutely honest, plans for miniature stallion domination. You’ll have to wait to hear from me next month. Adieu, dear friends. Pridey xxx
