Busy Baydale Blog: Bling, Babies and Baggy Breeches

Gamebird said:
Well seeing as I've come to this post rather late (what? me? :p) it would seem that there is little left to add - either that or my funny bone has deserted me after the morning I've had. However, as always, I'll add it anyway (numbered for easy reading) ;):

1. Can I joint the Kindergarten Klub too please? As a fellow owner of two equally different 5yos I think I'm entirely eligible and may even be ahead in the chalk and cheese stakes: 15.1 and unassuming vs 17.1 and downright assuming. Beat that! :mad:

2. Breeches - I would say 'post them to me', but I reckon that you need to be totally swimming in them before I get close to squeezing into them. I bought a pair of Kentucky Mexico cheap recently which fit perfectly.... until you've been riding for an hour or two then they seem to be two sizes bigger :confused:. Perhaps I should wear them to our Chinese's 'all you can eat for £10' night and try to get my money's worth? :confused: In fact, perhaps you should join me! ;)

3. Ears - sorry Thistle and BD, Fugly wins in the ear stakes, hands down. You can nearly tie them in a quick release knot. I know. I've tried! :o

4. Wot T_E said about Intermediate looking big after playing with babies. It's true dammit. She who has jumped many a Foxhunter track had a major wobble over an 80cm course the other night :eek:. Heaven knows what Novice would look like now :eek:.

Better late than never, Gb. ;)
1. You may join the Kindergarten Club, and we will become like the mothers who can talk about nothing but their 5yo's (too late ;)).

2. I like the idea of the "All You Can Eat for £10" and I suspect you and I would be joined by ISZ to try and fill the breeches out.

3. Ears? Cow and Fugly can fight that out between them, but I suspect Cow's ankle biting (Jupiter hates it when he does that:p) will beat Fugly hands down.

4. I am happy jumping 90cm and getting to the other side in one piece, so surely 1.10m-1.20m on a bigger horse will feel much the same. :eek:

Very entertaining report :D
I can sympathise with baggy breeches as all breeches look baggy on me (skinny runt) :o

Love the last pic of Cal. Looks like you decided 'sod the small stuff, lets just have a crack at the huge fence with barb wire running through it' :eek:

The pics 'almost' made me want to take my pre-school out to play xc. :)

Did you like the one with his head up where he'd hooned off after the ditch towards the rolltop going "it's fine, I know what I'm doing"?:eek:

You should take yours, I'll meet you at MK if you like?;)

Henry is over the moon to have finally been reunited with his long lost boyfriend, however this hard ground isn't his best friend and the big idiot insists on escaping daily and hooning around with the youngsters :mad: So he is feeling his age at the moment, but doing an outstanding job of nannying the babies out on ploddy hacks :D

Aw, bless him. Will you be joining us hunting this winter, soft ground pretty much guaranteed. :p

Blimey, I spend a few days off t'interweb and all goes mad. LMAO at the stressage, but thanks for reminding me, I would have done the same this weekend!! And ooooh those 5yos look yummy - Jup over the ditch doing a daddy long legs with dispraxia impression was brill, and Cow looks sooo well. I can only hope that my re-schooler takes to XC with such gusto! As for the breeches - bah, eat more jaffas... :D

Ah, there you are!:D Dressage is serious stuff so you must have the right kit, although I did see some kit that was very wrong on Saturday.:rolleyes:

Jup had been warned about the ditch monsters, and also the hedge, tree, grass and fence monsters. :mad: Cow, being more serious and more mature, disregarded all those but found me putting his back boots on horrendously scary. ;)
