I love this pic...


I also love Tiga and Firewell's last pics - both awesome in their own ways :)
 
Some of these horses are lovely :)

Day I tried him (late 2010) - he used to demolish x poles when I got him home!

His first discovery class -

I'm proud of where I have got with him - he is not an easy horse :eek:
 
Some of the changes are amazing.
Lolo Reg is so beautiful, I know nothing about showing but he could come trotting into the showing arena at HOYs and he would look like he belonged.
 
That's an unbelievable transformation LEC. The 2nd photo your horse looks beautiful but my god that scenery as well! Stunning
 
I've posted Chinky's before but it still makes me giggle....

I know most of you will have seen these before but I'm still pleased with how Frenchie's come on since I've had her :)

When I first got her (2008 :o !)

Everything went a bit tits up towards in 2010 with various vets visits, operations, injections and what not so she spent a while being a field ornament and came back into work slowly in 2011

By the end of 2011 her flatwork was much improved, even if we could no longer jump :(

And to cut a long story short she has never come back to being fully sound but is currently very fluffy and will start doing some proper fittening work soon to see how she copes this year :)

Before, 18 years old, having been neglected for a couple of years (I wasn't aware of the extent she had been just left to fend for herself at the time)

After, with TLC, and slowly introducing work she became a super super alrounder!

Now retired, and currently recouperating from a pelvis fracture! But doing well and just about to start going out again.
 
Dolly mix, he does indeed! However, his rider (aka me!( is a big pansy, so he only gets to do embarrassing small ones!

Wow, I can't believe how much some of these horses have changed! Love looking at all these photos, just shows what a bit of effort can achieve.

I'm hoping to get my old boy super fit and out a lot more this year and might also get a little project to work on, so the pics are awesome for inspiration :D
 
I see the cretins are out in full force! Thanks for pushing the button you muppet, maybe you'd like to identify yourself? What part of I have full permission is so hard to comprehend?
Why do people want to ruin people's posts?
