    Help proof reading...

    Just read the blog - another one - my horses and me, not I. The way to remember is to cut out the words my horses, so it would read get to know me. Sorry - am I too pernickety?

    Help proof reading...

    I think it's really good - well done! I am not sure how best to correct a few errors - not sure I can remember the order, but you don't need the apostrophe in horse's, or membership's, and I think there was one other (was there a make's perhaps?) but hopefully someone else will spot that one...

    pony doesn't like any kind of contact

    Hooted at by a train

    Do you like your horses name?

    My horse is called Egg , which is a weird name and i tried changing it to his show name, Koblenz, but I always forgot. He is a large Dutch Warmblood and i don't think it suits him.
