pony artwork

I've been tidying up my computer trying to file things and put things where i can find them! and came across all this lovely pony art work which has been used as prints on bags and tops over the last 7 years ! 
Yes Sugar Cubes has been going 7 years my pony mad daughters have become teenage teenagers. It's been busy and my poor computer filing system is, well like a teenage bedroom ! and you know you start to tidy up and it get's messier and messier so if i disappear never to be seen again please send someone to pull me out of my apple, 
thank you.

the Sugar Cubes Log Book

 Hi it's useful to have a record of your own pony, or your fave pony at your Riding school. Here are some fun pages you can download and print off to fill in and make your own personal record. There are 18 pages all together and I've put them on flicker which is the link on here and on facebook. The Official Sugar Cubes Ponies page. Whichever is the easiest to see and print from. The great thing is you can just print the pages you want as you want them, have fun and make your own Log Book.

Pink or Blue?

We know there are lots of pink pony princesses out there..

and we also know there are lots of girls who definitely do not want PINK lol xx
Hopefully any pony lover can find something special on our site 

Holidays

Hope everyone is having a lovely summer holiday out there and plenty of pony related activities are being enjoyed ! 

Zoe loves Brad 2006

 We don't have any ponies anymore and I do miss the closeness and the smells, the cheekiness and stubbornness, the greediness and the bossiness. I don't miss the mucking out, the pulling up the ragwort ! keeping my greedy little pony in his starvation patch being cruel to be kind I hated that bit felt so mean.

My daughters have grown up and the ponies got too small. I remember good, bad,scary and funny times. But it did take up a lot of time (as all pony mum's will know! remember to say thanks to her lol )

 So now I draw ponies and print bags and tops I hope we have the nicest pony drawings I love the new head I've put onto hoodies, T's & bags for the Autumn.

Loving the NEW pony Gift ranges

All the Sugar Cubes characters on badges and magnets to collect

No I'm not going!

OK I'm off, supposedly that annoying little fidget bottom

had such a good time last Sat-on-all-day that he's asked to come back! and wants me again?... I'm a bit big to hide I'll have to go ask Coco for advise she'll know what to do lol

I don't smell!

I love Wishes to pieces, but yesterday she

was going on about my blanket and how 

sometimes it smells bad. I told her she smelt of moldy old flowers and she should get some new ones.

I love my blanket it's been in my family for years 

and years. It's a Navajo blanket from America, that's where the Appaloosa horses came from, you know. 

It may be a bit old but I love it and that's what's important. I feel lost without it it makes me feel braver when I've got it on that's why I don't like it when they take it away to wash and don't tell me.

Pebbles told us both to stop being silly, we both smelt bad and we all laughed so much we forgot we'd fallen out. Ha ha xx

loving Fridays

I love Fridays, I usually have a quiet day, as the weekend is always so busy, we get a bit of a rest day. I go down the bottom of the field with Pebbles and Indie and we have lovely chats about ribbons and flowers and brushing. I try to tell Indie how important it is to look your best but she will insist on wearing that smelly old blanket, and sometimes it just smells so bad, you know it's Indie coming before you see her, and I have to make sure I'm standing upwind of her. I was so pleased it got washed last week. I did try and tell her but she takes it so personally and just gets upset. I didn't say she smelt bad! it was her blanket.

spooky

What an adventure, Midnight took me up the hill, we walked for ages and ages, till we got to the 'devil's chair rocks' spooky spiky big dark things, they look out onto the sea. Midnight said if you sit on the rocks you can see your future, but it may not be the one you want. I had pony bumps just thinking about it. Then we went to find the Old Wise One. That was scary too, she lives in a cave and I had to wait outside while Midnight went inside, but that was a relief I'm glad I didn't have to go in. That would have freaked me out seriously...

Wow

OMG OMG what a wonderful bottom!

I hope she comes again, we had such a good time.

I couldn't go faster enough, she's my dream rider. Then we had a picnic, she brought me a carrot, then later we had a swim, oooh I do hope she comes back. Poor Sinbad he looked so fed up he had this fidget bottom which just wouldn't keep still. Bouncing up and down and pulling on his mouth, and Sinbad's so well mannered, I would have dumped the annoying little baggage straight in the sea!

Hurumph

Remind me, next time I volunteer for 

the babysitting day (Own a pony) Not To do it!!

I'm not saying I don't love the little things, but an

hours lesson is about my limit. The whole day

is rather pushing my patience. Obi seemed very happy he had a lovely little girl who squeeled faster, faster all day as he galloped down the beach. A perfect combination he couldn't have been happier.

"Hi little one

I'm here, shall we go for our own adventure today?

We can wander up the moors and go find the wild ponies.

I have a question I want to ask the Old Wise One."

"Oooh yes please but who is the Old Wise One ? and are they scary?"

                                     "Yes, very! you will have to                                      behave,      

                                      and be quiet,

                                     but after you can

                                   play with the wild foals ."

Peacefull Sunday

sooo quiet here today. They've all gone down the beach.

They made sooo much noise getting ready but now they've all gone I've been back to sleep..but now I'm sooo bored!

It's not fair they won't let me go they just say, blah, blah, blah you're too young, even though I promised Thistle I'll do my lessons this week.

But you should have seen the wobbly on Sinbad! 

it's not been here before, and looked like Sinbad was going to have his saddle full with that one, he he. 

It didn't shut up before they left, should have gone on Coco she'd have known what to do. Sinbad was getting a bit flustered even before they'd left the yard.

Can't wait to hear all the gossip tonight.

Well Midnight's here somewhere, I'll go see if I can find her...

sit-on-all-day

Busy day today 'own a pony day' all our best wobblies and a few surprises turn up for the day and spoil us. Some of us love it, some of us really don't and some of us just put up with it. 

But they're usually some surprises and we all have a good chat later down the field.

I'm looking forward to the picnic, we've decided to all go down to the beach for lunchtime so that should be fun, as long as Obi behaves himself. You never know with him and Monty they can get a

bit too fast together and depending who's on their backs or not as the case maybe.

Will let you know tomorrow xx
until tomorrow watch this no wobblies involved!

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

lovely.........................carrots !!!!!

anyone seen Thistle ?

munch,crunch,ello

erm, No, not, me nothing in my mouth, gulp, swallow, 

nope. empty, look..

ha ha ha what happened to you?

No i'm not trying to change the subject!

Yes I'm pretty hungry, No I haven't seen her? Who?

Lesson's got to go, are you coming ? it's the twins and

you know what that means, double trouble.

 Might get a good race I mean gallop down the beach though.

I'm getting wet!

think I've found your rug Indie, silly me thought it was raining inside xx

Ooops

Hi Indie... don't ask!

Yes I'm starving where's the carrot girl ? she usually 

comes this morning.

Instead this little Miss Trouble comes in, think's it would be really funny to paint my spots ! but forgets it's raining outside lol.

Monty ? what's that in your mouth, Monty come here, 

Monty ?

sob, sob

they took my rug away, and didn't tell me!

I hate it when they do that, they said it was all

dirty and smelly... but I like it like that.

Now it's all clean and smells like them!

Ok so the colours look better but why

would a pony want to smell like, a fragrant bouquet

of lavender and eucalyptus with a hint of lotus blossom,

lilac and roses. YUK 

erm though I'm thinking I'm getting pretty hungry...

'OBIIIIII?'

Bonjour

Happy Father's day

Happy Father's day !
Here's some rosettes you deserve them.







and we'll gallop off as fast as we can with the naughty dad's
on our backs Obi know where to ... lol

Hi gang .....Bye xxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi everyone.....

Ooops Thistle's coming



Bye everyone.....

Hi Sweetie

of course I can, now let me think which would work best?
The hoof stuck in the food bucket.. that's a good one and it's so noisy
it definitely gets a lot of attention.
There's a horse fly I'm scared, that's one of my faves, I get to use my full over the top acting ability for that one.
Or just an attention seeking roll in the school, that works especially well if you have someone on your back, talk about a quick dismount lol xx

Daisy?

was that Daisy?

I was just enjoying a little thoughtful, quiet moment and something rushed past. Oh dear I hope she hasn't got herself into trouble again.
Little mischief that should be Daisy's name.

Well I'll just stay out here a little longer and enjoy the peace for as long as I can before I'm taken in for a class. I'm giving a jumping lesson this afternoon. I don't mind because she's very good, her bottom is always in the right place, not at all wobbly. But her owner is soooo scary and always shouting. Some of these big ones are just so bossy and loud! If she'd be quiet my little bottom would be so much better, but Oh No! do this, do that, not like that, do it again.. I'll have to see if Coco can help, maybe a little distraction in the yard and we could lose the big bottom...
"Coco"

Hi.......Bye....

Hi Pebbles, love you, got to go xxxx

Where did Daisy go?

She was here a minute ago, we were just talking about the usual, brushing, manes, ribbons, being pretty. My favorite colour ribbon has to be pink, or lilac... like my flowers, Oh and it matches my eyes. Do you like the colour of my mane I think it has been slightly bleached in the sun and looks so lovely but I have to watch the salt water, I don't want to look all dried out and dusty from the salt. Oh when are the little groomers coming ? they promised me a brush today and I can see another knot starting in my tail..... sorry Thistle ? Daisy ? Oh I don't know... she was here, I was just saying I need a brush.. what do you think ? pink or lilac ? .... Thistle, Thistle ?

Thistle's piece

Now you two, you must behave!
It's very naughty to take your wobblies galloping down the beach
at such speeds, and I didn't get the impression from their faces they enjoyed their bath's quite as much as you implied!

No Obi you can't use the excuse of the wind
drying them off, the poor little lovelies will catch a cold.
Anyway if you get so wet and gallop so fast your spots will streak!

It will be up the moors for you two next time.
Ok it's time for Daisy's lesson I'd better go and find the little cutie she's probably
forgotten and is down the paddock with Wishes.

"DAISYYYYY"

beach ride

Well you know me always up for a gallop on the beach.
Monty and I had a lovely ride and I have to assure you
no 'wobblies' were hurt in the process.

Actually we were very thoughtful and even delivered them back to their owners washed and ready for bed. Yep clean and tired.

Quiet too ! hope they come back Monty and I were just saying how much fun they were and what a lovely ride we had, couldn't even tell they were on our backs, well I supposed half the time they weren't, they seemed to like diving off, don't blame them really it's quite lovely in the sea. Bit cold for me but who know what these odd creatures the wobblies like?

"Up for another ride tomorrow? Monty old chap" lol

Monty here

Well yes I admit I was in a bit of a mood... well what do they
expect? they come here, don't know which way the saddle goes on and expect to be able to ride in one lesson.
Hurumph! neigh and snort !
and I'm an ex polo pony you know! and they're trying to tell ME I don't know what I'm doing! Well I have to admire Thistle she always seems so calm in a crisis ( bit bossy ) but manages to get everyone back in order.
I'm with Obi a good dipping in the sea would be my preferred punishment oops I mean treat, what little lovelies.

"OBI ! you up for a gallop down the beach? I need to blow out a few wobblies, I mean cobwebs. " lol xx

Hi sweeties x

Ok so I did have a crisis, but you should have seen the size of the knot, and if you don't get it brushed out straight away.. well you know, it's either really painful all that tugging or... the scissors, Noooo I cried, I like my lovely long mane, I wouldn't get all that brushing, plaiting and grooming. I know the others get a little bit jealous sometimes when I get all the attention, but it can't be helped when I'm so pretty, lol, and a girl just can't get too much grooming now can she.
One of the little sweethearts picked me some new flowers for my nose band today but they made me sneeze, I know she meant well but I was all ready for another crisis!! how silly would I look with a red nose , yikes! Oops here comes Monty and he doesn't look too happy. I'm off to find someone with a brush xxx

Hi Guy's this really is the most boring blog on here !! Yep it's ok to admit it, I know I keep telling her but she won't listen, always too busy! So I've sacked her and I'm taking over !

Yeah that's right or should I say Neigh, she needs some lessons in blogging so while she goes off and learns I thought I'd do a bit of chatting on here lol hope that's ok?

Well thought maybe a bit of chat about me and my friends might be more interesting, so you all know there's 12 of us right? You can see us all in the Feature section on the site, click meet the ponies and you have all our backgrounds and bits of info about our breeds, heights, characters etc...
Coco's the funny one, Thistle can be bossy, Daisy's just spoilt (he he) Pebbles is so shy. Well go and get to know us.
Anyway today it's a bit boring here, only had one class this morning. Sinbad, Monty, Jacques and Obi took a group of wobblies down to the sea. To be fair they've been coming a while and they're not so wobbly now. Sounds like they had a good gallop along the beach, though Monty is soooooo competitive he always has to be in the lead which can be a bit of a nightmare with Obi and his beach gallops, phew, glad I wasn't there. I'm tired just thinking about it. I like a few jumps on my outings. Cantering through the woods jumping a couple of tree trunks across the path that's my idea of fun. Hearing the squeals from the wobbly, quick duck a branch... ooops did I lose something lol. Well best go I think Wishes is having a crisis !!! she's got a knot in her mane xxx

Have you see the ad on the back of Pony Mag with all our new designs I love the PNY white and black T's cool enough for older girls. The Upside down text is still popular and looks great on the 2 new coloured T shirts. The deep mulberry purple and the warm raspberry. I just printed the white text on the aqua T-shirt I'd forgotton how fresh and summery it looked, nice to know the longer evenings are starting. Happy riding x

NEW for 2011 we have a lovely range of pony tops and bags for the little ones.
Any of the range can be personlised which seems to be very popular at the moment.
