Hello

[fairhill]

Hello, I thought I'd do the decent thing and introduce myself and stop lurking (because I'm working from home, so won't get into trouble from the bosses). I'm in my twenties, been riding since a kid, used to have TBs but after a couple of bad falls have joined the cob-type brigade.
I've got a 5 year old cleveland bay x welsh x mountain goat (meg) mare, had her for a couple of years and am slowly schooling her in the art of going forward...
I also ride my mum's happy hacker (chloe) who is a mini clysdale x shire x ? and safe as houses for her. I've just started competing her, and she's showing a bit of promise at local level dressage (jumping is just too much effort).
Sorry, rambled on too much already... Hi all!!!!

Hello - glad you have stopped lurking and joined in!

The horses sound lovely. I am sure you will enjoy the forum.

Thank you, I'm slightly worried about getting addicted, but I think it might be a bit late for that.

They're not really the most photogenic of horses. This (if it's worked) is Big Chlo in the field, showing off her massive tail.

And here's Meg at her first dressage competition...

[/ QUOTE ]Aww she is also gorgeous!!

She looks very please with herself!!

 

[fairhill]

I wouldn't really call chloe sweet, she's a grumpy madam who likes her own space, and standing still... just out of the picture is my mum who is dragging her up the field.
Your boy looks lovely, what breed is he?

[/ QUOTE ]Thank you... he's a TB... albeit a chunky one!!!! (much more my type - never wanted a TB!!)

Here is a bigger piccy of him... skulking around the yard!! LOL!!

 

[fairhill]

Definitely a gorgeous boy. He looks a bit mischevious in that photo. I do miss the unique TB sense of humour...

Hello! Oh no danger of addiction on here...

 

[fairhill]

Thanks for all the lovely welcomes! And there was me, worrying that I wouldn't get any replies at all.
