Hello East Midlands!

Can I join in? My husband (now in his 40s) used to hang around at Parklands as his mate lived there. He remembers Strawberry and Shadiek and Phantom!

Of course! Who is your husband and who was he mates with (PM me if you prefer!)

I don't think I knew Strawberry, but funny coloured Shadiek arrived not long before I left and Phantom had a scar on his quarters from a burn, I believe?
 
Yeah, I remember a mark being there too.

This is very strange! My mum is happy you had Mustard and he lived a long happy life with you :)
Getting chills down my spine!
 
:cool:
I'm near the Nott's, Lincs, Leics borders. In Notts, can see Belvoir Castle through the trees from Bedroom window :D
I work in Nottingham some of the time, but hope to set up business from home V soon. Hubby works down the road at Bottesford.
Grew Up just the other side of the Trent, 1/2 mile from Southwell racecourse - which was fab for Pony Club Camp :D Next door to a riding stables.
 
Hi,

Would someone mind pointing me in the direction of a nice livery yard in the Market Bosworth area? (Leics) Noticed a few names from that area - present yard is closing soon and am unsure where to look.....:D
 
Hi KarlyHT and Hedwards!
Muddypony - it is a bit tricky recommending livery yards as I have no experience of any but I can tell you of some that exist in the area:
Newbold Verdon Equestrian Centre (has a website)
Elmside Farm, Nailstone
Barton Hill Livery, Barton in the Beans
Stubble Hill farm, Shenton
Tivey's Farm, Shackerstone
Witherstitch Lodge, Mkt Bosworth.
Hope you find something then you can join our Mkt Bosworth group!
 
BRILLIANT

Thank you so much - am on the waiting list for one of the aforementioned yards.

However more yards than I expected.

Looking at yellow pages now....:D:D:D:D:D:D
 
Just popping my head back in to wave to NJ & Karly! Market Bosworth horse group is a great idea - once I'm back on board again count me in!
 
Hi there H! Hope you are soon back on board. I haven't ridden Jerry for 2 months now due to a recurring abscess. He has been sound now though for nearly 3 weeks so hopefully I will ride this week - half term! Weather permitting.
 
Feel your pain NJ, Mickey has an abscess at the moment! Hope J stays sound and you can get back on again soon! Had some bad news about Connie too... Very guarded prognosis for her and possible hairline fracture to her pelvis! But trying to keep focussed on the fact she could recover and although we're concerned about how her front legs are coping, she's fine in herself!
 
Poor Connie. I hope she makes a full recovery. And I hope Mickey's abscess clears up quickly. I bought some 'hoof puncture plus' from Nettex which you spray into the hole. It does seem to have worked although I hate to speak to soon because as soon as I think he is better, the abscess returns! I would like to get to Bates' again for their first dressage comp in April so am keeping my fingers crossed.
 
Ooo have they got their schedules online? Toddles off to have a look!

Are you on half term this week? Hope J stays sound & the weather behaves so you can get on!
 
No I don't think they have this year's up yet - I am just assuming they will have a similar programme to last year!
Yes it's half term so hopefully I will get to ride providing this bloomin' snow disappears!
 
Can't quite you Bex but would be nice to get a load of us together for a nice long hack (or even better a pub hack!)

Nicki I chased Sally about getting the schedule up online and bizarrely the second half is on there just not the first half of the year!

Lets hope I have a horse in time for then! :)
 
Yeah I noticed the schedule is online now too! Planning on doing the first Thursday evening dressage!

How's the horse hunting going KHT?
 
Just realized there is a regional section, doh! Don't venture out of CR (or whatever its called now) very often. Waves hello from rainy northants, also near Kettering!
 
Ummm I'm east/west midlands boarder, in Rugby, originally from Essex, work in MK! So I'm gona post in all 4 just to be on the safe side! Hi all, hope you're enjoying the snow!
