Baydale's Boys Bring Back Some Booty *with vids and photos*

AutumnRose said:
Wahoooooo - been severely lacking in Blue and White photos recently, from my end too. I just put one from yesterdays ODE on fb but its distinctly unimpressive and really only serves to highlight how short my legs are :(. Hopefully you can up the Blue and white picture game.....will hold you to it :p

That'll teach you to go on honeymoon when you should have been at home, competing.;) It's not that your legs are short, more that your horse is very deep. Ditto Jup, he manages to make me look like a dwarf when in fact I am a towering 5'6".:p
 
Cal is gorgeous, but as I have a 'thing' for 'bad boys' can I join Jups fan club please?:D;):D

Great to see your report and well done on the placings. Have been hoping to get some time to come and see you at Shelford this week, but the only day the girls don't need their resident taxi driver at their beck and call, my neighbour needs a lift to hospital:rolleyes: Cant wait for the schools hols are over and a have a few hours to call my own:)
 
I knew that gorgeous white beach had to have a downside somewhere..........

Awww i think 'very deep' is the politest way anyone has ever described B's body shape. He'll be flattered! 5'6 is towering.....you've a good few inches on me.

I forgot to say before but i think Jup might be winning as my favourite Baydale pony currently (in the absence of blue and white pics!). Just something about the look in his face...........
 
Prizes? You get prizes foir 6th? :eek: After I went all the way to Scotland for a rosette? :confused:. Haven't had time to look at pics (farrier arriving in 10mins, not mucked out yet and should technically be at work - what's new?) but the ones on FB are super smart.

You really do have the most gorgeous pair of characterful ponies and I can't wait to see what they make of Novice (though not yet, obviously). I think Jup should maybe have his Cheeky Juice rations cut, maybe just the night before a competition, but as that might provoke a tools-down strike maybe it's not such a good idea. After all his cheekiness is what you love most about him, right? ;)

Gutted to hear that you thought Ryedale was your worst day ever. I was thrilled to finally achieve a joint-Baydale-worthy score and now I find out that it was a below-par day. Pah :( :p (though admittedly I didn't see Jup jump and did see the tiniest cheeky moment in the dressage:rolleyes:).

It seems that I'm the only one who likes relatively well behaved horses who try really hard for you. *Cal adjusts his halo*:D It just gets a bit embarrassing/tiring/boring after a while, but he's better than he was last year so maybe by the time he's 10 he'll do a really nice PN test?:rolleyes:

Will maybe see you out and about once the hordes are back at school.;)
 
Woo well done the CB's!
After *sort of* SJ Emerald and Sov last night I think we could perhaps put Emerald and Jup on tour as some kind of 'look what I can do while not really paying attenion' kind of display!
I do like Jup, but I am at the point now where I actually enjoy riding more 'pleasant' horses than *ahem* 'talented' ones!
I can always tell how scary a course is by how quiet my mum goes!

:D

But he is deep, as is Jupiter. Or is is that their legs aren't long enough for their bodies?:confused: Jupiter's face would sell him to you, admittedly, but that whole family have one hell of a sense of humour.:rolleyes:

But Jup doesn't get any Cheeky Juice, no-one believes me that he lives on fresh air and enthusiasm. :( I don't think it's his cheekiness I like, more that he can do a good job of a fence with only a millisecond's worth of concentration.;) It's not good for my nerves though.:eek:

Which of the tiniest moments did you see at Ryedale? The one where he tripped up and had a hissy fit? Or did a change? Or at the end, where he did everything but halt and half-reared, twice?! And he jumped like it was a speed class...not one of our finest moments, but sorry if that's you-know-what-ed on your bonfire.;)

That would be funny! I think we should pack them off with Geoff Billington and Ollie Townend, something like "Retards on Tour" (the horses, not the riders:o)

Are you telling me that you, point-to-point rider, no longer gets the adrenaline rush of "talented" horses?:confused: I don't believe you!;) And if anyone dares call Jupiter "quirky" I shall go for their throat; he's not quirky, he's naughty! :rolleyes:

After walk jumping 1.15m on Emerald last night I can honestly say that being fired skywards is not part of my adrenaline list! He was so oblivious literally 1 stride out gawping at mother (who was in stitches at the impending cleverness/nimbleness/elasticity or just down right showing off) and somehow he can pop it with no effort, we could have ended up walk jumping 1.40+ but 1.15 was unpleasant enough to try and stay attached to the saddle.
I swear Emerald is some kind of gift from my long departed Grandad, they would have got on like a house fire, he had a soft spot for horses with very 'latent talent'!

Which just goes to prove how classy he really is if he mucked around so horrifically (and it really was only half a millisecond of slight 'resistance' I saw) yet still came within a sniff of a rosette and equalled poor Fugs' bestest ever BYEH outing (of a total of two :rolleyes:).

Anyway I'd say I'd swap you but I don't think you're over keen on Fugs' legs and I don't think I'm quick enough to play the 'left-right' game. :D
 
Baggybreeches - I have a feeling Jup and Emerald are of the same ilk, and I'm loving your Grandad's "latent talent" description.:D

Gb - I'll try and get Pa Baydale to send me the vid as I think you must have been watching another fat bay horse that only misbehaved for a millisecond. Another "face like thunder" attempt at dressage.:mad:*sigh*

teapot - Maybe they'll take it in turns to be good, although I can't imagine Cal's bad would be a patch on Jupiter's.:eek:

I am sure we could teach Archie to play the left-right game, it's such fun :rolleyes:

You stay away from my Archie! He's having 3 enormous feeds a day, has been kept in for 4 days because he lost a shoe and despite it is still an angel to ride. Even on the stubble. You'd hate him!
 
Well done - what clever boys. Am sad though that your 'naughty boy' test was still 6 marks better thal Flo's 'well behaved little munchkin' test last Sat. Is it wrong of me to want to rip her head/neck off and re-attach higher up so we don't get the 'on the forehand' comments any more.

Re J's waistline - we have finally (only took 9 years) found the secret to controlling fat Sophie's waistline over the summer. It is called the '6-8 hours out MAX with electric tape strip grazing like cows' diet. Maybe J's cute faces means he is getting too many polos though for true svelteness??

Well done.

Fiona
 
I can sympathise with the desire to do a bit of head-ripping-off, just for different reasons.;)

Jup is out overnight on and gets nothing other than two hard feeds am and pm and the odd few stalks of hay to stop him flinging headcollars and hoof picks about for entertainment during the day. He's just big-boned.:rolleyes:
