I bet that was him Polotash - he must have been born about 1978 so would be elderly.

He was my first pony, I didn't have him for long (very long story) and didn't have a clue about owning a horse - my family weren't horsey at all.

Near Camelford/ wadebridge :)

We're not far from you Dizzyblonde then. We're just outside Camelford on the edge of Bodmin Moor. Moved down from North Devon in September. Keep our horses at home (dream come true). Can't wait to get out riding as soon as I've had my baby, as the hacking is fantastic and on our doorstep!

Yes I've been around up there, which ponies?

A grumpy little roan pony called Laddie, he had a tip missing off one ear. A big bay mare (TB I think) with a serious buck in her called Lorrimar, a lovely old chestnut pony called Cloud and a pale skewbald hunter pony called Sharman? They were some of my favourites and I wonder about them. :)

I remember Laddie and Sharman!! ooo and Cloud! If i remember right, he was always in popular demand! lol I dont remember the mare though. I remember Boris there, i used to hate him after I had a lesson on him, but then I started hacking him out and fell in love. I was devestated when they sold him!

Sharman was one heck of a goer - good jumper too though he scared me with his enthusiasm. Laddie had a tricksy buck and and a twisty dropped shoulder and I loved him to bits. I remember Boris I think - was he big, fairly chunky (but not quite cobby) and fairly dark bay?. Everyone loved Cloud - he was a sweetpea. Wow, this is bringing back memories, Minie the little chestnut mare, Jupiter a gorgeous dark bay skewbald, Black and White Pickles, Tommy the big Skewbald Cob, Oatis - possibly the oddest looking horse I have ever seen. Trezzie-Doos and Troylis, George the ancient but still very bouncy chestnut arab.....

Wow :).

Main reason I came on here......Does anyone know of any DIY livery available for 2 ponies near Camborne or Redruth, with stables, and preferably schooling?
