Hello all! I can't quite decide whether the past 6 weeks have been heaven or hell. As many of you will know mummy 1 has been out of action due to having appendicitis (We actually think she is addicted to hospital food!) So mummy 2 took over the ride on me.
This started off very, very bad! I saw my food rations almost vanish completely, and mummy 2 actually said she 'hated' me. This really put me in a bad mood. Whenever mummy 1 would build up the strength to wander to the stables to see me I co... Continue reading ...

As you can see from my picture, I am not only alive but i am alive and very, very well! It was great getting out to the party in half term and meeting members new and old! I hope you all had as good a day as I did! Also mummy 1 told me you were all super in your stable management- she must have made the lessons too easy for you all i bet!
I have just finished judging February's members competition, and the results are now online in the members zone! Go check them out!!! I wish you weren't all ... Continue reading ...

To you all! But especially Nicole and Angel! I received mail today addressed to 'Prince Bucks Fizz'.... ME!!!! I was so excited! It is a Happy New Years card :) I love it sooooooooooooooooo much I made Mummy 1 display it in my stables so I can see it every day. I look forward to receiving more fanmail, as I simply do not receive enough!
I hope that you are all starting to defrost, unfortunately I was not allowed to go out and play in the white stuff, not that I wanted to mind you, because appa... Continue reading ...

 Who knows!?! But i certainly hope i do not have to place a dainty hoof on the fluffy, white, cold stuff! As you can see it got very close to paying me a visit in my stable! I mean it is all very seasonal and all but why does it have to be so cold? On a festive note where are all my christmas cards? You are all scrooges! I have had one merry christmas message, mummy 1 thought it was for her, but it was quite clearly for me, from one of our new members Hannah, and she hasn't even met me yet! I ...

... and still nobody has written to me! As some of you may know I have been on sick rest as I tweaked my fetlock playing with Roscoe in the field. I couldn't help myself, I was just sooooooooooooo excited at being able to play with him. I promised mummy 1 & 2 that i would rest and not run too fast on it while it was getting better, but as usual i couldn't contain my excitement... and tweaked it again!
So it was a trip down to Cockermouth to visit my good friend mister vet man, who my mummies... Continue reading ...

Wow what a busy time i have had lately, i really do think i deserve this holiday that i am now on although i currently don't seem to be going anywhere exotic, i haven't even been allowed in the field for more than a few hours!!
How are you all doing? Digging out your winter woolies for all the winter shows at Greenlands and the Heavy Horse Centre? Crikey you are all brave! I will be thinking of you all as i snuggle down into my big straw bed with my quilted PJ's on! What have you all been up t...

Seems like you were all missing me, well thats what mummy 1 has told me, so i have come out of my sulk, which just so you don't forget was caused because NOBODY entered the competition i set in April!
But moving on from that very hurtful time i would like to introduce you to the new manager of the Cumberland Foxhounds Pony Club website..... ME!!!!!!!! I was chosen quite simply because i am brilliant, it also means that all your pony's now have a chance of winning the amazing title of 'Cumberla... Continue reading ...

Well May is only days away and i have yet to go to one of those parties where you get to win those little colourful ribbony things. Iv been to those parties where somebody stands in the middle telling you how to dance and stuff, a bit like party games, they are fun, but i am getting hungry for some competition! It can get a bit repetitive sometimes constantly being told you are a sweety or a pretty boy, especially when i'm trying hard to ditch the show pony image that i have been associated w...

...BUT i have been sulking!!!
Not only did i not get an invite to mummy 1's 21st Birthday party, two days later i then had the worst practical joke ever played on me, and i still have not quite worked out who to blame. I got all bathed and plaited up, they even went to the extent of doing the same to sonny! I then waited politely in my stable, till YES heard the wagon come down the drive and park up ready for me to load up... me and sonny got our travel gear on and then got put in the wagon, t...

Picture this: Sunday lunch time, and i am brought in from the field, and the wagon is brought down from my mummies stable. I got quite excited, i was not plaited up so that indicated that i was going show jumping, cos you can get away with being slightly on the scruffy side there.
Mummy 1 came down to my stables, her usual cheery self and proceeded to prepare JETHRO!!! for travel. The optimistic pony in me assumed this meant we were both going... NO Jethro was loaded into the wagon. Still i ha... Continue reading ...

Sorry i did not get round to updating this immediately, i have been taking it easy in the field, it is what happens when your a good boy. The pony party on friday was brill, i was in a special group with my friends Rambo and Buddy, and finally got to meet Tori's new girl, she is little on the large side for me but there was a bit of chemistry between us, not that i can blame her, i do think i am the best looking boy in the club! Aimee kept telling mummy 1 i looked so cute all these other litt... Continue reading ...

I had a rather exciting day yesterday! Mummy 1 had obviously gotten out of the wrong side of the bed yesterday morning, she still had sleep in her eyes and her brain wasn't functioning very well, not that i minded, i nearly got put out in the field with the welsh one as mummy 1 had forgotten to get him in before she started leading me out. Sadly i never did get to play with him as he pricked his ears to see who was coming and so she saw him and realised what she had nearly done. I just sighed... Continue reading ...

As you can see i am writing this from my bed! I have been unable to get on to update you of my daily doings because mummy 1 has been busy writing a 'dissertation', which i am told is lots and lots of words long. To be honest i do not understand why she has been making such a fuss about having to write so much. If she writes as fast and as much as she talks when she is around me then she shouldn't have any problems. Updating my blog is far more important!
I am still on with my boring fittening ... Continue reading ...

Anybody that knows me knows that i always like to look my best so when mummy 1 failed to appear with all her clipping and trimming equipment i thought that i better start my re-beautification off myself. So i set about rubbing my newly grown bushy tail on my stable wall to try and remove the excess frizz that mummy 1 normally pulls out for me. When my mummies came down the next day i couldn't tell if they were squealing with joy at my initiative or whether they were annoyed with what i had g... Continue reading ...

I have been removed from my muddy play pen and as per usual mummy 1 whipped my rug off and set to with all her massaging tools, i try to pretend i do not enjoy it but really i do and sometimes i just can't stop my lip from twitching, and once it goes everything goes and mummy 1 laughs at me, and shouts over mummy 2 to come watch and i feel like a right fool. She made me look nice though, and made me pose for this picture, although she missed a bit of mud in my forelock so i couldn't fully l... Continue reading ...

About Me
| Prince Bucks Fizz |
| Keswick |
Well I’m the head of the stables at Cherry Bank, near keswick. I determine how things are ran, including when meal times are and how long my friends get in the field. I had an enjoyable successful career in the show ring, till my jockey, Mummy 1, got old. I usually spend the most of winter living out in the fields and every year around December I get brought into the stable and start to hear whispers about coming back into work?! Gutting, every year I think i've been retired with my old pal Jaffa. But it is not to be, I’m sure life will be a lot easier now i don't have to trail the country chasing those 'hoys' qualifiers or whatever she called them. I don't need to go to 'Horse of the Year Show' to be told I’m the best anymore, i already know i am! Mummy 1 is also called Rachel Simpson. She goes to 'committee meetings'. Now she she needs you to send things for her to talk about at meetings... I've suggested lobbying to change the pony racing height limit to include me, abolishing stable management in favour of treat testing days and the possibility of me and my brother Billy Jackson organising a fashion show for horses, but they all fell on deaf ears, you would think i spoke in a different language...
