I hope you have years & years of happy times ahead of you! What a sweet face he has & as for his conformation, blimey, I've seen MUCH worse than that! He looks a nice sort & he sounds a lot of fun! Don't forget to keep us posted & keep those piccies coming!

[ QUOTE ] Hmm that does actually look very cool! [/ QUOTE ] Not for the wallflower types obviously but hey, who wants to be a wallflower? If you've got it.......flaunt it! lol

As in so.......! Snazzy or what?

I would say go for it, definitely, especially on a bright chestnut! I think it looks great!

As reasonably experienced 'loanees' of ponies, we have done both, i.e. taken out the insurance & paid for it ourselves & also, left it in the hands of the (reliable!) owners. I prefer the former though & have also made sure that MD is insured in her own right on a rider policy.

Years ago, one of our Border Collie bitches ended up with a singleton pup after an emergency Caesarian (he was the only one in there as it happened though! lol) We carried him everywhere from a very young age, took him to dog club (sat him on a towel on a table) & perhaps spent more time...

Girls have several of the 4-in-1 type, in various colours, to match whatever else thy're wearing! lol Very useful says MD, who is one of these feeble types that literally cease functioning if the temperature drops below +5! Wears it all the time in chilly/cold weather, swapping from full-on...

This has always been my favourite doggy poem: THE POWER OF THE DOG by Rudyard Kipling THERE is sorrow enough in the natural way From men and women to fill our day; And when we are certain of sorrow in store, Why do we always arrange for more? Brothers and sisters, I bid you beware Of...

I don't think I have any flyball pics sadly as it was only a bit of 'light relief' for her really! (She was phenomenally fast though & always knew exactly where to pass to the millisecond & would totally lose her rag with any dog that messed up the run or got in her way - typical 'only...

I know what you mean blackeventer - flyball is not something I would want to do in isolation! We competeed fairly seriously at agility & the manic fun of flyball was my for my collie, the equivalent of going to a rave! lol (I definitely wouldn't want to do it full time but as a bit of fun or...

And I think Stella would make an A1 flyball dog - she has every quality & attribute needed to be first rate!

My old collie was a '4 second' flyball dog - i.e. she could make the entire run, there & back in a 4 something second time! Years after she stopped doing it, you could say to her 'go to your place' & she would go & stand by 'her' spot by the 'H' at the riding school where we...
