July 25, 2009: Belly Bumps

You can call her Belly Bumps, but her real name is Ms Earl.

No, wait, her real name is Belle de Harlequin, and the "most spoilt horse in the world".

Belle de Harlequin, affectionately known as Belly Bumps, has everything a nag needs at her stable in Hickstead, West Sussex, where she is surrounded by her trophies, treats and, of course, a 52-inch TV with a Sky+ HD box.
Owner Vicky Davies believes nothing is too good for the former international show jumper, and happily grooms her pal in front of the telly.
However, as these pictures show, Belly Bumps won't be nagging anyone to change the channel: as long as she can watch the show jumping, she's perfectly happy.

Must be something in the water over there. :rolleyes:

That's just immoral. There are starving children in Africa who could be watching that 52" telly. A whole village could watch that for a week.

I dont have Sky Sports

Or even some nice silver cups and rosettes.

:sniff:

But I'll bet you've got a recipe for barbecued horsey.

Did no one tell this horse not to sit too close to the TV?

Now, that's just uncalled for. I wouldn't accuse even a Frenchmen of being french. I'd just politely overlook it, and try to cover my nose without being obvious about it.:greenface

This just triggered my WTF detector.

WTF?

Diminished, have you been up to something? :eyebrow:

He's been at the gardens of Alnwick castle and now has teh munchies, I think. Breaded cheval fingers with a horseradish dipping sauce would probably hit the spot.
