That was my only post. Calling someone a drama queen and your response shows that you are deciding what's supposed to matter to someone else and to what extent. I see by your response that you are still, therefore being personal towards me ..... "you need to get out more" is rude. Please try to control yourself.

Browsing a different thread (all about funny HHO threads!) and this amused me: :D

What a load of drama queens!!!! Why did you all allow Barbara to bitch for days about it in the first place and provide an audience for it - sounds to me like you all deserve to waste each other's time.

Welcome OP. Sounds to me like you already have some of the key qualities needed to get the best out of HHO - a sense of humour, a reluctance to take offence and a willingness to hear what others are saying! Whatever your issues, wish there were more like you. ;)
 
I find when I come in from the stables I am starving so I have a boiled chicken in the fridge which I nibble at and always tomatoes and spring onions, otherwise I used to hit the bread bin, also I have dropped from using a dinner plate to a side plate can say it seems to be working, I put on 1 1.2 stone over the last 2 years from eating junk, good luck and be positive.
 
I have to say you have two very nice looking horses - certainly my sort of cobs. I'm not a Parelli fan myself but am the only non-Parelli on my yard so am very familar with it and its benefits for rude cobs (not that I'm saying yours are - they look very polite :D). I am however a barefooter - helps my mare's traction no end.
 
Hi, well done on the ciggies - I keep stopping and starting again :( It sounds like you are being completely sensible so good luck with BB and the weight loss.
 
Nice horse in the first pic (oh, and the others are too, but very fine boned, so good luck and all speed with the diet!); I am one who thinks that most people are WAAAY too precious about the amount of weight that horses can carry, but your horse is long and weak in the back in that pic, and you are quite heavy for him at the moment. As you say you are only riding for a short while that is not going to do him any harm, but if you and he want to progress then stick to that weight loss goal! And for g8d's sake call what you do something other than Parelli!
 
Just popping in to say good luck with the weight loss! My sister in law (well, sadly ex!) went from 'Texas fat' (seriously, she was like a circle!) to a beautiful size 10 in quite a short space of time, simply because of the difference in food here and her new found love of walking. She went from struggling to climb the stairs, to being able to job 10km+!!

She's not a rider though, she's in fact terrified of horses because they "hiss and growl!" haha!

Again, good luck and gorgeous horse!
 
Hi,

Crikey, if it is snowing with you already, AND drops down to -40C! You aren't in Southern Ontario that's for sure ;)

I know Manitoba had snow over Thanksgiving.

Omg, big fan of you already!! :D you've got a wicked sense of humour.

Mine aren't barefoot and I don't know Parelli but I am another chunky rider lol!! I'm 13 stone at 5'5'' and have piled weight on due to a number of factors. I feel unhappy riding my share 14.2hh Sect Dx (though she can still quite happily carry me and throw her weight around!) but she's only just coming back into work again so I'm increasing my fitness on my other share, a 16.2hh ISH :)

Welcome to HHO, if you ever need some support for losing the weight, feel free to PM me!!! :)

Teehee! Well, she is from Texas and all her friends and family are huge!! She was one of the thinnest too.
I'm thoroughly impressed with her weight loss, it's inspired some of her co-workers to lose weight too!
 
Seriously well done on quitting smoking. I'm the only one in my family who has never smoked & I know how hard they have tried & still failed.
There are a few things missing for maximum shock value though - besides dropping the hat you may want to go treeless & possibly acquire a Katie Price pink velour outfit for riding in as well. The worst sin of all, of course would to not be "matchy matchy"!

I never ever thought I would be able to quit the smokes, but we were flying back from the UK to Canada, Heathrow had just become non smoking, as had Pearson, so I figured by the time we got all the way back to a place I could smoke I would of actually of quit, all I would have to do is not start again.:D

I still haven't 'quit' I can smoke any time I like, but every time the craving strikes, very very rarely now days, it is OK, you can have a smoke, but remember there is no such thing as one, for me 1 smoke will end up being a a life time of a pack a day, so I refuse.

That's the trouble with food, you keep having to eat, :(

Pink Velour????

:eek: Pink Velour, I would rather take a proper Parelli clinic
 
welcome Big Ben, thank you for a great thread where your sense of humour has made me chuckle and your honesty has been a breath of fresh air, keep posting , HHO needs more of you;):D
 
Nice to meet you Big Ben, im another newbie but thats about where our similarities end, i like idea of natural horsemanship just dont know where to start.

Well done on the smoking, and kick arse on the weightloss :) youve got a lovely cob to make it worth it :) good luck
 
Saskatchewan, eh? Wow, bet that's a shock from England! I've pretty much always either driven through or flown over, although did spend an evening in Saskatoon once.

Love the trees, nice windbreak, :)I could do with that, our place is like a windtunnel. My fencing contractor is from SK, he says that it an in joke to say "You can watch your dog run away for three days"
 
Bg Ben, from your pics you look as though you have a lovely position and a greater core strength than many women of your weight. I do however think you are way too heavy for that horse. He is very long backed. Your other horses are quite fine boned and obviously not suitable for a heavyweight rider. I wish you well with your diet. I was amazed at your pics from the other site and how much you managed to slim down. Looking at the pleased as punch expression of your horse in the pic where you were at your lightest, I think you can see what a difference your weight made to him. Well done with the cigs. Hopefully you will reach your goal weight again too. Good luck!

It isn't me! Closest I got to it was flying overhead and then the roads all just looked like very long runways ;)

Yes, there was another member from SK, they sold up and went back to the UK I believe.
