Welcome back! Nice to see you and your gorgeous horses again.

Yes sorry I didn't mean to imply that they weren't going to use the money to build stables. More that it is possible that the reasons for not having the money to do it themselves or the for needing to move now might be tied into background issues that they don't want to discuss.

Someone mentioned to me (unrelated conversation, we were talking about sports stallions with the cream gene) that the family being discussed are going through some kind of serious issue at the moment in the background. Whilst the social media / go fund me approach wouldn't be my go-to (perhaps...

I'm so sorry to hear that. An amazing age, I'm sure a direct reflection of your care for him. Thinking of you both.

Absolutely agree with your decision not to hospitalise too. Just because we can, it doesn't mean we should. I think your instincts were spot on.

It's all very demoralizing since we are so far beyond knowing better that it's beginning to look like something between sheer arrogance and actual clinical grade delusion. I think we should go back to the original principles of dressage, which was cavalry riding, and unless the horse is of the...

I hardly ride these days. I hop on to check how a horse is going or, if I have some time on the weekend, I might potter about or go for a hack but I don't ride regularly. I don't miss it at all. I am so enjoying watching one of my mares flourish with her new rider, and to get to plan out future...

Shared on the photo thread too 🤣

I have, per horse: 2 x 0 fill turnout or 50g for the horse that runs colder (does most rainy weather that isn't too cold, gets the most use so having two is useful to swap) 1 x 200g turnout with neck (for very cold, horrid weather - honestly anything needing more weight and they'd probably stay...

You both look fantastic. Wow, look at those dapples, they are amazing! I think he'll come up under you more when you get more muscle on him. He'll lift up from the girth and then ride bigger than he is.

I also wouldn't worry too much. I had a lump on my shin from dropping Christmas tree stand in it over six years ago which only fully went away towards the end of last year. It was sensitive to push but not to touch or to walk or run. If you were close to the beach, I'd say my instinct is to...

How are you doing @Nancykitt ?

Well thanks to this thread I've now found palomino Frederiksborgers https://www.facebook.com/share/1DfY5R1Byr/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Arabs and partbred Arabs are my absolute favourite. I have had two purebred, five partbreds. They don't do every job though, so I love them for what they are and would still want another dressage horse. I love baroque type horses and have ridden a lot of Iberians, mainly PRE but also...

Just in case you want a yellow one, mine are bred as follows: Mim - 14.3hh - 80.3% Arab - very typical PBA lines on both sides with some welsh and thoroughbred way back in her pedigree. She's definitely a showing / flatwork kind of horse, and an excellent hack. She has Dutch breeding on one...
