Hello gang how are you all???

[Simsar]

What's everyone been up to?? How are you all. xxx

 

[Alec Swan]

The Simsars, excellent, you're still alive. You've been missed!!

How are things? Well, disastrous ET attempts this year, and sadly no one to blame! last year's ETs, a bit strange, one put to sleep 10 days ago. Heartbreaking, and the other's rather strange!

Otherwise, still alive, followed hounds on foot, and hoping for a better year.

A.

ps. we need more of your wonderful antiquarian hunting photos!!

 

[Mrs B]

Hello! Lovely to see you!

How's the handsome Spyder?

 

[Judgemental]

What's everyone been up to?? How are you all. xxx

Simsar how absolutely wonderful to see you out and back in the saddle. Have you summered well at grass and are you going to whip us back into order?

We have all really missed you. I think the longest thread that you might have enjoyed was, The Reunion as a result of the BBC programme recollecting the issues of the BFSS.

Trolls were found in every covert and spinny imaginable. Combat Claire has to win the first prize for coining the phrase "Troll Smeller Pursuivant". I can't remember who she suggested was the ace "Troll Smeller Pursuivant" but somebody reckoned every other person was a Troll and her description is worthy of being in the top ten ten.

So what has kept you so busy, that the forum has not been a feature?

Rosie here has been in hospital with problemsbut hopefully now back on the circuit.

 

[JenHunt]

hope you're ok Rosie, glad to hear you're out of hospital at least!

we're ok here - have discovered that dearest, bonkers, donkey like jumping hedges and isn't overly concerned whether his rider wants to or is going with him! OH came acropper yesterday when donkey breasted/went through a hedge, but stayed on when donkey launched himself sideways and unseated OH to such an extent that he was standing in one stirrup on one side of the horse as horse took off over the hedge! goodness only knows how he stayed on!

Some donkey Jen---

 

[Festive_Felicitations]

Hello! How are you?

I'm boiling away in sauna (summer has arrived ) and not riding as the idiot is lame. Oh and counting down the days till hunting starts again & hoping I have a job close enough to still be able to go!
I hope your father is all better, any photos of the foals?

JHunt your donkey sounds great!

 

[FineFilly86]

I'd LOVE to be able to name and thoroughly shame a vet I used to work for!! (I'm a vet nurse!) the treatment of clients and patients alike was disgraceful!!! Surfice to say I only stayed in the position for 3 months before becomming so horrified I handed in my notice with immediate effect!! Xx

 

[FineFilly86]

Oops!! Sorry! Got distracted and put that on the wrong thread!! Lol! How embarrassing!! Xx

 

[JenHunt]

Some donkey Jen---

JHunt your donkey sounds great!

hmm... am considering proposing a new ribbon colour - so after the usual green, red or white, how about blue for "this horse is a complete and utter tit, but probably no danger to anyone but itself and me!"

If only he was getting hard feed that I could cut out - I don't think I can stop him having grass?

 

[Festive_Felicitations]

I like the sound of a blue ribbon - baby or navy?

 

[JenHunt]

baby - after all it is mostly down to babyish tantrums!

 

[Simsar]

Rosie here has been in hospital with problemsbut hopefully now back on the circuit.

Hi Rosie nice to hear from you, hope your feeling better. How's the foal??

Naughty ponio, hope OH is ok, at least he can laugh about it now and know what to expect next time. xxx
Any photo's??

 

[rosie fronfelen]

Hi Rosie nice to hear from you, hope your feeling better. How's the foal??

i still have pain but not so bad now,foal has been chipped-shes abig fiesty bitch but she lovesOH.thanks for asking Simsar.

 

[Alec Swan]

Rosie,

it's lovely to hear from you. Difficult days, I realise, but you're a tough old bird!!

I too have a feisty bitch! She really is a little madam. A week ago, she decided against being led in, with her dam, and off we went, "grass boarding"!! It went on for a minute (though my OH says it was longer!), I hung on, was prone, and she gave in, except that she didn't. We then had Round 2! At the end of that, she was exhausted, as I was! I was kicked and trampled on, but hey-ho! She wants nothing to do with anything which is a bipod, but she will, and she will learn.

This foal is bred to compete, and a very knowledgable friend has advised me, that the best competition horses are always a bit difficult! I'm hanging on, hoping that they're right!!

I'm getting to old for all this!!

Alec.

this article took 3 burly farmers to hold her down for the micro chip,she learnt a few lessons then,but shes still friends with OH,thank god,dont want a big puddy young madam, her dam doesn't give 2 hoots for her now,and less of the old bird,you are older than me-haha....

 

[JenHunt]

Naughty ponio, hope OH is ok, at least he can laugh about it now and know what to expect next time. xxx
Any photo's??

sadly not - I wasn't out and neither was the hunt's photographer on the tuesday.

He had a brilliant day on saturday, hopping hedges left right and centre... They managed to stay as one unit all day though, and there's not a scratch on Ron so he's clearly given the hedges some room!

Ron did launch himself at/over/through one person when sliding down a steep bank into the river, but fortunately no harm done (just a few wet people as happens when 650kg of fat horse lands in 2foot of water ).

 

[Paddydou]

Poor Ron being called Fat!!!!

Hi folks - glad to see you are all well.

I strongly recomend that we all bully Simsar into posting her video of the gorgeous Spyder in which his rider pops him over the larger obsticle and our darling sar of the sim lets off an expletive... Completely uncalled for as he sailed it happily and could have covered an extra foot or two while he was at it! Totally unfazed looking very much the aged professional rather than the young stud! Very very funny to watch when you have the sound turned up though!!!

 

[JenHunt]

Poor Ron being called Fat!!!!

poor Ron indeed.... can't presently feel his ribs!

still, if he can't be fat now he never will be I guess. He's still in a rainsheet too... such a mean mother I am!

 

[Festive_Felicitations]

. He's still in a rainsheet too...

Abuse! Abuse! Call the RSPCA! Call the ILPH! Call the horse-help hotline! You are a cruel cruel mother!

AS & Rosie you babies sound charming (she says safely from a dsitance) I hope you have lots more fun with them! And pics are allways appreciated! <hint hint>
PS Alec was it muddy by any chance?

LOL I had a visual of that, sod it I always let go can't be doing with dragging. You just have to spend more time with the special ones and trust me they think they are special. But you are right the quirkies are better horses 80% of the time. Our Spyder event filly thinks she is the bo**ocks but tonight a peg or two I feel (if you no what I mean). x
