ok so i'm a big bored and my mum keeps asking me what i would like for my 21 and i don't need or want anything in particular so please give me some ideas :) if there was any horsey experience you would love to try what would it be????
 
Spain Andalucia riding holiday or a weekend away at a big event such as Badminton or Burghley or olympia (with best seats of course):)
 
Do you need a new saddle ?
Some nice comp boots?
special browband?
New bridle ?
Rugs ?

Or I would ask to try western riding or sidesaddle. Could your mum by you your own special set of show jumps ?
 
i always wanted to be a jockey, i love horses and speed, but i realised that my dream is unlikely to ever become true at the age of about 11 when i was 5ft5. now being 16 and 5ft11 i'm sure i'll never race, EVER. so thats one thing i always wanted to do, go to a race track, hop onto a race horse and let it go. my dream :D

more realistic thou, i wanted to try riding in a side saddle :) and western.

i also always wanted to try vaulting but am not brave enough and am not a gymnast so thats not possible either :rolleyes:

theres so many things you could do thou :)
 
I went on a western experience day at the mendip stud in december & it was so much fun! (am a dressage diva normally). Fab horses, good instruction & great food - gets a thumbs up from me!
 
loving the sidesaddle/ racing /western idea :D
Bettyboo22 unfortunately i don't own a horse atm and shared horsey is up for sale so i have no equine companion to lavish new kit on :(
Orionstar oo thats a possibility
I have always wanted to try hunting but being horseless and living in Scotland I don't know whether this is a possibility?
 
If you want to hunt it's possible, even being horseless and in Scotland! Lots of packs do "hirelings", you basically pay someone a fixed fee, say £100, to hunt for the day. You also have to pay a cap the the hunt for your day. Have a look on the MFHA website and contact a few of the packs on there that are near you or that you like the sound of - email the Secretary, they should be able to help.

Have lots of fun whatever you end up doing!
 
hmmm I'm sure I've seen a place advertised in cumbria which do riding weekends on heavy horses ie cantering along the beach on shires/clydes etc - that would be a fab experience!

Thanks for that i will look it up :D


i have heard of these guys they made a pretty epic trip down from Skye i think looks fab always been too expensive though :P i am partial to a nice heavy :)
 
What about a trip to Vienna to she the Spanish Riding School horses work. I believe now that since they have to fund themselves that they give lessons too.

That is one of my dreams to go there and see them in the flesh.
 
There are many birthday that are available for us for the sake of presenting on the occasion of their birthdays to our beloved ones. These should represent our identity to them among all the others.I presented my sister the remote headed candles and a cupcake shower cap. Could you please provide some more attachments for the detailed view?
 
How about a polo experience day? You would be able to learn on fab polo ponies with all the kit provided :) I also like the western or side saddle experience idea :)
