Rocky Da Horse Plus sized Arab who lives on Dartmoor. Fun loving, adventurous and friendly. Likes, anything furry, food, rolling in mud, meeting up with mates.

Hoomanwooman thinks I like yomping around the countryside doing a thing called, aptly, endurance.

I may have mentioned this before, but it takes a whole team of professionals to keep the wheels turning on this lean, mean, endurance machine aka the devastatingly handsome, highly intelligent and incredibly modest Rocky Da Horse. This man is Nigel, he comes to trim my hooves, or at least I think that's what he is doing down there. You would have thought that the thousands of miles she makes me do that my legs would have been worn down to stumps by now, but no, apparently the more I do the faster those darn hooves grow 😬 So Nigel has been engaged to come regularly, get his knife out and cut some off :O Even then it's not enough, he then gets this enormous thing out that he calls a rasp and works away shaping my hooves so they look pretty, oh no, I got that wrong, it's to make sure they support the rest of my muscular, totally buff frame so that I can travel comfortably over many miles 🙄 The whole experience is pretty dull really and listening to the constant chatter can be quite soporific which is a good thing as there is nothing I like better than nap 😆

The life of a celebrity! I cannot go anywhere without being recognised. This little fan spotted me strolling up the hill minding my own business. He descended upon me demanding that I gave him my blessings. Of course I was happy to do so, friendly is my middle name (along with handsome, intelligent and modest). My tiny new chum was delighted and trotted off to tell his mum about his good fortune. This got me thinking, as I am a celebrity, will I be called upon to spend some time in a jungle eating grubs with other famous folk, or maybe even to take a turn or two on the dance floor with a lady called Oaty Ma Lunchy? I hear that 'they' are always on the lookout for personalities of a slightly different hue, maybe I would fit the bill?

I love work, me, I could stand and watch it all day 😆

Imagine the scene dear friends. I had carried this passenger for miles across pixie infested moorland just so that she can find the van containing treats, only to find that carrot flavour ice cream is off the menu! She and her likewise greedy pal tucked into their Magnums while Matilda and I were expected to be content sharing a couple of dry pony nuts from Matilda's passenger's pocket. Unfair or what?

Hey there chums! Me and my mate Zel were taken away to somewhere that used to be a moor yesterday, I think it's called Ex-moor for obvious reasons. Turns out we were on the hunt for that mythical and elusive Golden Horseshoe yet again 🙄 I tell you what it's about time it was found, save me a job 🤣 Anyhow me and Zel found everything but horseshoes of the golden variety. There seemed to be an inordinate number of crocodiles (thinly disguised as logs but not fooling anyone), long blue snakes and of course, my nemesis, pixies 😬 These two spotted right out in the river😱

Today I would like to talk about training. I will refer you to the attached photo. See how the tiny would be rider is hopefully waving the colourful set of restraining straps in front of my face? There is only one way I will lower my nose, and this is where the training comes in, as soon as she puts her hand in her pocket I will start to lean her way, the production of treats seal the deal and my magnificent muzzle accepts it's fate with the consolation of tasty morsels - yum! Works every time! It's quite simple really and I'm sure this method could be employed in a variety of situations, I'm working on it 😁

Good morning chums! Us equines love a daily routine and this is mine. In for breakfast, followed by head over the door for a lovely snooze listening to the gentle nom nom nom of Kavi next door tucking into his hay while the staff tidy the place up a bit. That is until Carly finishes his bucket and starts kicking his door. He is relentless and doesn't give up until someone lets him out. Now I wouldn't mind if he just went off somewhere, but his intention is to find someone to annoy and that person is generally me. He carefully places himself just beyond my reach (and a long way from Rooster) thus avoiding complete marmalisation. Luckily for Carly I have the patience of a saint, not something I can say for Kavi although to be fair he is far more interested in eating than humouring the aged.

Our friend Keith (the Teeth) Keith Evans Equine Dentist came today to give me and Carly a check up from the neck up. Carly as always made the visit all about him, stealing the limelight and posing for photos. Meanwhile I was subjected to the finest dental treatment in order to keep my gnashers in perfect shape as befitting the elite athlete that I am. Carly however only required the removal of the small cheroot which Keith found stuck between his teeth. Caught bang to rights, Carly tipped his hat, pulled his woollen poncho over his shoulders and sloped off to the field whistling the theme from The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.
