Transcript

00:00So, I thought, can you give me one funny fact about each of your horses?

00:06Well, first of all, thank you very much for the interview.

00:08So, funny facts...

00:10Goodness, okay, so Duke's funny fact is that he does this thing,

00:13I don't know if it's very good or not,

00:15but if you come up to him in the field,

00:17I thought he was going to do it then,

00:18is that he'll come and put his bum right up to the fence

00:21because he loves butt scratches,

00:23so that's his kind of way of being like,

00:25hello, here's my bum, can you give me a bum scratch?

00:28So, that's really his funny fact.

00:30Mickey's funny fact is that,

00:32well, you probably know him if you watch my channel,

00:35but his nickname is Licky Mickey,

00:38so he will literally lick anything,

00:41that's his thing, he's like a little dog sometimes,

00:45and he also is a bit of an escape artist as well,

00:48there's been times where he's tried to break into the feed room,

00:50so that's quite a little funny fact about him.

00:53Casper, his fact is that he's a little bit more shy,

00:56we have this thing in my family where we say that

00:58you have to be part of the Casper club to get really close to him,

01:02he's kind of got more like a cat energy,

01:04so not like a dog where they want to come up and say hi,

01:07you have to let him come up to you,

01:09but if you get part of the Casper club,

01:11then it's a very exclusive club,

01:13but then he'll love to get cuddles and things from you,

01:16so he's a little bit more introverted.

01:18And then Joey, his little weird fun fact,

01:21he does this thing every single time he goes into a stable

01:24to have his haylage, he makes tea,

01:27that's what we say, he does this thing called Dippy Dippy

01:29where he gets his haylage, or his hay,

01:31and he loves to put it in his water bucket

01:33and make some sort of soup,

01:35so I have to make sure every time I walk out,

01:37I make sure I clean his water bucket correctly,

01:39sometimes I have to give him two different bits of water,

01:41one for making his Joey tea,

01:43and one for him to just drink, so there we go.

01:46Very quirky horses I have.

01:48Yeah, definitely.

01:49And are you planning on extending the family any more?

01:53Well, in the future, I would love to rehome more horses

01:56from World Horse Welfare, it's been so rewarding having Duke.

01:59At the moment, I think for the lifestyle

02:01and the life that I live at the moment,

02:03four is probably enough for me,

02:04because I want to make sure that I have enough time

02:06to give them all the love and attention that they deserve,

02:08but definitely in the future,

02:09I'd love to rehome again from World Horse Welfare.

02:11Brilliant, and we all know you love Machu Machu,

02:14but what is your actual favourite from here?

02:16Well, I think the answer that I'm going to have to give

02:19is the one that I've recently come out with,

02:22which is my own collection,

02:23but before that, before that,

02:25I would say I love all sort of pastely colours,

02:28so the mist, the wisteria, the new fern

02:30are probably my favourites.

02:32Yeah, I love all those as well.

02:34So to finish off, I thought we might do a quick fire round.

02:37Yes, sounds good.

02:38So, cheese and onion flavour crusts.

02:42Yes, like them.

02:43Yeah, you like them.

02:44Right, okay.

02:45Doggers or jeans?

02:47Jeans?

02:48Like, what, the clothes?

02:49Yeah, clothes.

02:50Oh, it's got to be dogs.

02:54Doggers.

02:57Joggers.

02:58Oh, joggers, I thought you said dogs, I'm so sorry.

03:01Jeans, jeans.

03:05Staycation or vacation?

03:07Ooh, I'm going to say vacation, actually.

03:10So, that is the sort of few questions I came up with.

03:14Thank you very much for answering them.

03:16Oh, thank you very much, yeah, for the interview.

03:18I'm going to do it for being in the background and doing some lovely eating.

03:21Eating noises in the background, perfect.

03:24Eating noises.
