1 who helped me find someone to take my old horse on as a companion.
1 who took my old horse on as a companion and met both to do a fun ride as well as visiting yard to see my old boy.
1 who used to be at my yard and is a very good friend
1 who is near me and met up while she was competing at my yard and now gives me counselling and support when I am a wally as well as when I am a muppet.
All 4 are the salt of the erath and great sounding boards for all my trials and tribulations.
Then loads of people who I have never met but who have gone the extra mile to support me through postings and PM's.
bout 4 in real life 2 i knew anyway and 2 i have met because of here (both lovely!) and there are about 3-4 people i have worked out who they are but not sure if they know who i am!!
She has a yard about 5 minutes down the road from me. I had heard her name a few times before since we have mutual friends in RL but we started talking on here and now I go over and jump with her, we've been hunting, done sponsored rides together and I've even ridden the lovely Teddy boy
I also know amycamycamyc who is a newish poster on here. I actually used to go to school with her, like 15 years ago. She sent me a PM on here and then came and rode Monty and Zoom.
I'm sure people would recognise the Zoom pony so if you see us out and about....say hi!
I am going to a attempt naming them ..... *deep breath*

I've met two I think - Snowysadude I see most weeks when her friend has a lesson at the same time as me and my husband, and I met Sarafina at Your Horse Live.
Ben's Mum and I know some of the same people but have never met!
I dont know anyone here in RL (at least I don't think I do). I like having an anonymous place I can have a rant or ask something I'd be too embarrased to ask someone I know. The joys of the internet: anonymity!
4 - 2 on here are some very good friends, one is Ru's brilliant old sharer, I met Georgous George when we had freezemarking done. However, I may have met more but since we are all incognito I wouldn't have known
None..though compete against one or twoon here we don't know eachother as such (or perhaps don't admit to it). Keep a fairly low profile though people who know me may have worked out who I am if you see what I mean!!! Do not keep a low profile with any evil intent just not computer literate enough to put photos on!
Two are very good friends who I knew well before any of us joined HHO (that's the two of you whose user names both being with A!). Two others used to be at the yard opposite me. And a fifth person who I know exactly who she is, but I know she hasn't got a clue who I am (I put two and two together when I saw a post from her ages ago recommending the club of which I am Membership Sec).
It wouldn't surprise me if there were also one or two others who haven't yet been revealed to me! As far as I'm concerned, the horsey world is full of "it's a small world" conincidences.
Only 2 or 3 in person, but there are fair few I'm in touch with outside of HHO too who I sort of consider 'friends'
I've figured out who a few others are, mainly people I've seen or met at shows or hunts, and it's amusing to read their tall tales as most of them are untrue
I am going to a attempt naming them ..... *deep breath*

There is one I know well, one I bought a horse off, one I chat to on FB from time to time who lives a couple of villages away, and then there is Mrs Mozart who I spent a lovely few hours with one chilly autumn day!
5, that i know of.
one i met through here & was at her yard for a while.
2 are very dear friends that have a shared weirdness for a hobby (we really must all meet up again, OH's and all)
& 2 are very old friends & neighbours that i have known for well over half my life now (EEK!! putting it like that is scary)
