Silver Flint - stable name Flint Or Flinty Bob/Bubba (!) or The Big Grey Git depending on whether he's been naughty Dreamscape Diamond - Millie Didn't choose either name. About to put Millie in foal hopefully so will take great delight in choosing foalies' name :D

When my grey came across from Ireland he was sparkling - apparently he'd been washed with Persil!! Don't think I'd use it myself, can't see it being very skin-friendly.

Thanks Twigben, our two sound very similar! There are times when you would say that Flint looks absolutely fine, then he has these little 'judders'. He gets bad when he gets nervous, walk him up to a new trailer in the car park and his back end goes to jelly. He can still bronco like a good...

I am the Queen of crapping myself!! Take it slow (even if it means just sitting aboard and not moving anywhere!!), do what you feel comfortable with and don't let anyone push you if you don't feel ready. I've got a good instructor but friends on my yard who know what I've been through have...

Hello!

And I mean my horse not Mr Horse

Note to self: Don't leave her ladyship alone while I go and look at newly born calf when I've just applied Like Ice to her leg... I think she was going for this look: :D
