For me it’s the youngsters for loan and people are expected to pay for the privilege of backing them. I’ve had the time waster thing. A few years ago I tried a horse for part loan, I turned up it was much greener than I had been led to believe (hadn’t cantered under saddle). I called the lady...

Not horsey but I once nearly charged up to Judi Dench in a shop to ask how she was and how she was enjoying her time off. Turns out she’s not someone I vaguely know from work but fortunately a friend stopped me in time. Just as well, JD had body guards 🤣

I'm currently helping out with a horse with SI. I would walk away now before you all become too attached.

Personally I think the name "horz" required more discussion at the planning stage!

So sorry, what a beautiful horse. Look after yourself.

Amen!!!

Woodacres, Old Edlington. Amazing there has been no one else in 28 pages. The highlight of any school holiday was the "day ride", hide and seek on the ponies in the wood in the afternoon.

As I queried in public I thought I would also praise in public! My order from v-bandz arrived today, they had been busy with hoys. As well as my tabard (which is massively bright, much more so than my old one) they also sent a gift as I had had to wait. They sent at a leg wrap which is...

Phew, hoped that was the case.

Is woodacres still a livery yard? Sorry, eta - it's just outside Old Edlington. I remember excellent hacking from the days when it was a riding school.

Obviously not in the same league but I over catered for my daughter's birthday party by 100% due to people not RSVPing. It was the first party we had invited non family/close friends to and I suddenly panicked about what if they all turned up so bought lots of extra food. I was eating buttons...

Soggy bottoms of Apple pies. My grandad took to baking after my gran died. He was mostly excellent but never quite got fruit pies right. My old lad would eat the top and filling but spit out the soggy bottom. He could have been a judge on gbbo!

Yup (hangs head in shame).

Lovely picture bobbly. I used to be concerned that I was tall on my 14.3 (I'm 5'6") and always thought I'd look for something over 15.2 for my next horse. In reality I'm not really wanting to go over 15 hands and would be perfectly happy with a 14.2 (just the small matter of getting on with...
