It's all just came to me at 2am, like when you're trying to think of a word and then suddenly shout it at someone unsuspecting because you've suddenly remembered said word. I thought my mare was just quirky with her back legs. Dodgy about fetlocks being touched, not to the point of kicking...

Oh Jesus Christ. OP you sound like a total eejit to put it politely. You seem to have very, very little experience at all. How much a horse eats hay isn't a sign of settling in, it's a sign of a horse being a horse. You seem to be avoiding any reasonable question, so that just gives more flame...

To take CC round Intermediate Novice eventing. She has the talent but I don't have the ability to ride the dressage test or the money to get us there. I'd love to get a foal out of her when she's in her mid-teens (14 or so) and more toward the end of her eventing career but again money is an issue.

Yep, that was me posting at 3am that caused that, sorry! I need to remember to not post things when I'm half asleep, they're ohen quite odd haha

Ignore the fact I definitely totally didn't get your name wrong in that silly post Ycbm, I think there was definitely more than a little of something in my hot choc! I'll be off hiding for eternity for my renaming of you :O

Get a fast metabolism- I can eat whatever I please and sit around all day yet still manage to be hardly anything ;) On a less lucky note, to actually stay fit I do quite a bit of running and ab based work exercises. Alongside that I'm not able to drive and 'Mum's Taxi™' can only take my "lazy...

You sound a very sensible girl, and like others are saying I don't think you're ready. Once you do a few own a pony days and stuff you may be able to try a loan pony for a short time. The easter holidays I think would be ideal, it's a short time but not too short. Don't worry about your height...

This year has been CC's best year. I got the balls to pop her over 1.15m and 1.20m which she cleared like it was nothing and I plan to do it more once she's fit. She's been over 1.30/1.40m loose which made my mum and me cry. We've hacked up a main road next to huge lorries whilst I'm day...

I'd say follow your heart. Before I got CC I was looking for a 16-18hh, 12-20-year-old gelding, gentleman sensible type, preferably of the lighter type (no cobs!), that was semi-retired to hack and let live out in a nice paddock till I was ready to fully stop riding in which the horse would...

Oh my goodness me, this thead, this blimmin thread :lol: Apart from the fact it's definitely not defamation, seller please do go retrieve your head, you're someone who sells things on eBay you're not anything to care about. A total percentage of 0% people (that is the stats from a maths major...

I'm dreading looking for a jumping saddle for CC, she's built like a Connie when she's fit and it's a pain to even find something to fit when she's fat. Saying I'm cheapo about saddles (still looking at a way to engineer a saddle from duck tape and baling twine :lol: ) is an understatement so...

I don't think CC could deal with another horse sharing her slave. Pfft BE80, I'll have 'im over BE2,000,000 ;)

CC chases the Sky vans. She puts everything in her gob as well (if she can't eat it she's not trying hard enough!). I nearly died the other day when she lunged for some plants owned by the family who have a little cottage next to the tack room. She didn't go for the plants, no, she went for the...

Flatwork, I have a habit of shortening every word I can haha

She'll try her heart out when she wants to but on her cheeky days she's a bum. I love Welshies all told, if I ever had to get another it'd definitely be a Welsh. Very intelligent breed, some of them are too intelligent for their own good at times however! But they are triers, and they'll go to...
