Anyone is Essex?

I was looking thru some old photos and came across some from when I first started riding (when I was about 7) I was just wondering if the girl whose stable I rode at was still on the go, so to speak. Her name was Janet Lapley, and lived at the other end of the lane from my Gran in Rochford/Canewdon. She must be in her late 50's/early 60's by now. Her horses were her life and she and Winston had many rosettes.

Yes I know her.

That is who I have Mac from a Temple horse!

Wow, I didn't really expect anyone to know much about her

Do you see her very often? I'd just gone all nostalgic when I was looking at the photos, it must be about 40 years ago now. She probably wouldn't remember a shy little Scottish girl who rode in the summer holidays!

Im' in Edinburgh. My Gran & Grandad lived in Apton Hall Road,Rochford, and Janet lived in Brays Lane. I used to travel down to Rochford with my Mum for the 6 weeks school holidays. I just loved it there. My Gran died so we stopped going there. I have always wondered what happened to Janet, my time there will always be precious to me, and I have had a lifelong passion for horses. If you see her, could you pass on my heartfelt thanks for making my holidays to fantastic. I doubt that she will remember me, but my tummy always goes "ping" when I think about those days

You must be very proud to have a horse with such potential, good luck with him!

Hello TheresaW, love your signature

 

[TheresaW]

Thankyou! So, do you have horses now?

 

[Soozyq]

No I don't have a horse

I keep telling my poor husband that if I hadn't of married him then I would have had a horse instead

I rode regularly for 20 years but never had the time to spare to look after my own and always promised myself that when I stopped working I would think about getting one. I retired early from work but my parents were getting old (my Dad has since passed away), and I just don't have the time I need. One day I will, but I feel now that age is not on my side (I'm 54!), I'm a Great Auntie, but not a Grandmother - yet!

Thought I recognised that name. My horse is also from Temple farm and she helped me loads to get a copy of her foaling certificate that was lost by previous owner. I don't really know her but she was very helpful.

 

[H-J]

She is lovely

 

[H-J]

CSYMolly - who is your horse by?

 

[CSYMolly]

Temple De Konig (think I spelt it right), he isn't there anymore though I believe. Yours?

If you all bombard her with my thanks, she'll probably wonder who this crazy woman is

It would be nice though

I have a couple of photos of me on a lovely little dun called Darcy, once I can figure out how to put them on here I will!

 

[H-J]

Yes that is spelt right!

I had a horse from him who I brought from Jimmy had him since he was 5mths but had to be sadly PTS as a 5yr old as he had navicular here is some pics of him

- just broken a couple of mths here

- won this test with 75%!! then found out he was lame

- miss him dearly

Do you have any pics of yours?

 

[CSYMolly]

Oh how sad. From what I can remember when I googled pics of Temple De Konig your boy looks quite a bit like him. Mine was out of a ISH mare called Moelfryn Lucky Bee, I can't find out anything about her but Janet said she was a Grade B showjumper. Molly must take after her cos she looks nothing like her sire. If you click on my name and go into my webshots there are tons of photos of her in there. Met someone else who has a gelding by him and they said he was rather quirky and temperamental. Molly is very spooky and naturally suspicious by nature but is very kind.
