A yorkshire meetup?

[BWa]

That is very kind RubysGold but don't change it just for us. I am quite happy to wave people off and see them back in. However I have just had a look at the GG website and it looks amazing! Bit far for livery for me though!

 

[stencilface]

Same as BWa, I don't mind hanging round waiting, and if the weather is bad, I can always bring my lorry sans horse and we can sit in there

 

[RubysGold]

Oh ok If your sure you guys don't mind, my parents are going to be there too (trailer towing ) so youll have more company lol.
I do hope the weather is decent!!

GG centre does look pretty good! Not been there yet

 

[Sparkly Snowdrop]

I might come too if there is a non riding contingent. My horse isn't really fit and it would be too far to travel him but it would be great to have a good horsey natter and eat cake!

 

[RubysGold]

Brilliant Youll be very welcome, and me and my pony will hang around to natter before/after riding round
Cake, brings all the people out I love cake <3

 

[terrierliz]

I'll make a cake to bring

 

[RubysGold]

Need a like button Lol
You cant beat cake, Chocolate or lemon drizzle <3 Yummmm

 

[fjordhorsefan]

Mmm cake!

 

[MizzPurpleKitten]

Haha what hasn't she done would be more to the point! She's managed to injure 3 out of 4 legs simultaneously! She's on her 6th week of box rest at the moment so fingers crossed we can get back on very very soon and get her back into work

 

[stencilface]

I can make the green and blacks chocolate lemon drizzle cake if that suits everyone?!

I feel your pain MPK, mine is also on box rest, into week 9 atm with another 5 weeks (hopefully no more!) to go

 

[RubysGold]

Oh bless her!! Really hope shes better soon and can get out with us lot

Ive never heard of it Stencilface, but if my two favourite cakes can be made into one then it sounds PERFECT!
Hope yours is off box rest soon too!


Thinking Sunday 1st September, does that suit everyone?

 

[BWa]

Sunday 1st suits me. I'm not really a cake baker but I can manage tray bake- chocolate brownies? Or scotch eggs quite randomly!

 

[RubysGold]

Im not a savoury fan, lol I don't do scotch eggs (though Im sure others will)
But brownies <3 <3 <3 yuuummm
Im happy to try baking but I cant promise not to give food poisoning, Im the girl that set fire to a pan because I wanted to fry an egg LOL

 

[MizzPurpleKitten]

I wouldn't suggest I try my hand at baking or cooking I'm afraid.....I can only just manage toast (in a toaster I might add) without setting the house alight!

Thank you RG, really hoping she's back to full health very soon!

Stencil face.....What has yours done? 9 weeks with another 5 to go.....I was in exactly that position last year so I know how bad it is at times :-( Hope your horse makes a good and speedy recovery following the box rest!

 

[stencilface]

I can bake cookies too, they're my fail safe!

This year its tendonitis, last year it was tenosynovitis (8 weeks box rest including 6 at a spa) and in 2011 it was PSD - 6 months stable/small paddock rest. I'm actually considering smothering his legs in cotton wool, bubble wrap and then duct taping the whole lot on! Thankfully he's a pro at box rest now, and is doing it without a stable buddy this year, just has his treat ball and lucie bricks to keep him amused - am longreining out atm, and can ride in two weeks, fat belly allowing!

 

[MizzPurpleKitten]

Oh My Lord Stencilface, your luck with regards to injuries and illnesses sounds on a par with mine! XxX

Sorry to hear about box rest - must be driving you both crazy.

Off to Google chocolate lemon drizzle cake - sounds divine (drooling on keyboard)

 

[pixie]

I'd love to come sans pony, as my toddler loves a good picnic (and the adoration of women). I too can bring baked goods.

 

[RubysGold]

Wow SF you've not had much luck
Youll be welcome Pixie

 

[Theocat]

Very late to this, but I'm up for a meet up, depending on dates!

 

[RubysGold]

Hey Theocat, as long as theres nothing on up there that day it will be Sunday 1st September
Would you be bringing a horse?

 

[stencilface]

Just to add to this. If anyone fancies a doggy meetup (or just a day out avoiding all HHO people!) or just a day out to see some donkeys then the day before is the dog agility and open day at the donkey sanctuary in Leeds.

[TommisMum]

Hi all,
I'm really happy to join you on 1st September. GG Centre is realatively local to me being based in Ripon. Can I bring my daughter on her pony (she's not allowed on the forum!!). In exchange she'll bake cup cakes galore!!

Going to bring my 4yr old as it will do her good to go to a party !!

Does anyone want drinks etc organised .....

 

[RubysGold]

Stencilface: Thanks for that, I might have to go there! Id be happy to meet anyone there that wants to

Tommismum: I think we ended up deciding on Escrick Park, your more then welcome to join us there??

 

[fjordhorsefan]

I'm bringing a couple from my yard if that's ok? Figured the more the merrier! Are we doing group rate again like last time?

 

[RubysGold]

If we get enough people then we could ring up and ask for the discount again
More the merrier,

 

[TommisMum]

Escrick will be fine with me any excuse for a day out!!

 

[RubysGold]

Brilliant!!!
So there'll be you and your daughter both riding?
(just trying to work out numbers of where we're at so far lol)

 

[darkhorse123]

im so up for this!

 

[Theocat]

Hey Theocat, as long as theres nothing on up there that day it will be Sunday 1st September

Grr, I'm at work that day! Or yes, I would have been bringing the horse. Definitely next time!
