And when they're running away from me round the field I can't get cross even though I'm short of time and NEED them to be caught quickly because I'm watching them, helpless in love and admiration for their beauty and joy because they're mine.
yeh everyday when i walk in to the yard and he looks at me ears forward and real happy,even though it took me 20 mins to catch the cheaky bugger yesturday,he didnt go far just from horse to horse and they were all stood together,he got fed up eventually and i walked straight up to him and brought him in and took him down to our river to wash off his feet,he enjoyed that !!! i wasnt gona walk away though !!!!!
hehehe yes... only im not as nice as jemima... i get cross, then feel guilty immediatly and have to hug them for the next hour to say sorry, making myself later than I would have with if i didnt get cross!
...all the time. I just look at my girlie and melt.
No matter what we have been through...or how mystifying she is...I could stare at her for hours and just think how amazing she is and how lucky I am to know her.
Yep everytime I go over the brow of the hill and see her pricked ears waiting for me, and hear her low rumble hello, first thing in the morning. I just love her to bits and I love the fact that we know eachother so well we both know what the other wants, like an old married couple!! LOL
All the time, thats why I couldnt have an ugly horse, I like looking at them just as much as riding them!
Ps I kiss Sov on the nose every time I go on to the yard (the other two dont mind, cos they dont really like to be kissed!)
I look at mine and she looks at me and there is a lot of affection between us, she is a real whickerer (sp!) too - however, I do look at her in her gorgeousness and wish she could morph into my perfect horse a little more
Yes, although my girl went out on loan a month ago so i can't any longer just go and lean on her door watching her. Funnily enough i went through some old photos with my family last night looking for something completely different but came across a pic of her as a yearling. It made me well up, god she was a stunning yearling, full of attitude and promise for the future.
I so miss just looking at her dark eyes and pretty face!
I honestly think I'm the luckiest person in the world to have my pony. I really can't think of anything about him which annoys me he's such a sweet boy. I laughed this morning when he cantered up the field, got to the top, did a huge buck, farted then galloped off
Yes - he's had a few problems over the past 18 months and at times I thought he was never going to improve. Now I have my old horse back (touch wood) I really appreciate him. Also, the time I've spent on the ground with him has really strengthened the bond between us.
I often look at him and can't believe my luck in having such a wonderful horse.
The moments I enjoy are when I happen to go to their field outside my normal am and pm times....one of my three will spot me and shout 'It's Shilasdair' to the others, then they'll all rush up the hill to see me, whinnying and whickering.
You'd never know I abuse/neglect them at all from their reaction
.
And it always make me laugh when I take people to their field and they say 'Will you be able to catch them' - it's getting rid of them that's difficult
Yep, sometimes I just look at him with pride that I am lucky enough to spend time with him.
He is sooooooo handsome I get huge pleasure from just looking at him. Even though we've had our share of problems at the start of our relationship he makes my heart sing and puts a smile on my face after the shittiest of days at work.
Yes, though God knows why! The buggers drive me to distraction with their daft ways, but I love them both dearly! Don't think the mare could care less about me, but my lad seems to love me too.
I thought the very same last night! I even nearly said it to another lady at the yard but was worried she'd think me a bit overly soppy about my horse.
It sounds really soft, but I was only saying to Emerald's owner and breeder the other day that every day I see her it surprises me all over again how beautiful she is, and of course she has the nicest nature. I feel incredibly lucky
Every single day. It took me 8 years between losing my last horse and buying my current one, it took my nan dying for me to be able to afford to buy one. Its like my life is whole again and its all thanks to my wonderful horse (and my nan of course). I thank him for that every day and feel really lucky to have him.
