if someone gave you £1000 right now....

My horses education. I'm in the process of breaking him in (with the help of a very good instructor) but he needs to go away for some more intense work.

Or some new tack. Currently using second hand so a nice new saddle would be nice.
 
Well this will be the cheapest it'll be to sort out a major drainage issue in my new stable block (one stable currently permanently under water) :( So I'd sink £1k into getting a guy to dig and put drains it, making my field even muddier than it already is in the process. SUCKS BIG TIME! Especially when I've already spent quite a few £k on these stables already!

Or perhaps I should use the £1k to pay a recent electricity bill which the vast majority of was for stable lighting and flood lights...
 
Full livery for the next 2 months - somewhere with an indoor - so I don't have to face any more mud and can ride nutter cob somewhere where there is no wind so he doesn't have to spook at his own mane ( I jest not - he's a real muppet about the wind - very wearing)
 
Some of my vet's bill for my mare having to have a joint flushed last week - got the itemised bill today and am rather in shock, or my lorry's insurance which also arrived today.

I need a drink!
 
Funnily enough just before Christmas I had a letter from my bank regarding mis-sold PPP. I returned not holding out much hope and a couple of weeks ago received double that and a bit more ;):):D
Last year I spent quite alot on the ponio's so this time had to put my family first. My son is 15 next week, my daughter 13 today and daughter no 2 will be 5, they are growing up waaayyy to fast! They all have ski/boarding lessons in half term.
Also, having my 'Live Life to the Max' year I thought to hell with it and booked up to go away Christmas 2014 to Austria skiing :p Roll on Christmas ;):D
 
Half would be given to my loaner for my boy and half put on credit with the vets incase he becomes Ill. Only have injury third party and death insurance due to his age so would be a good back up.
 
Aparrently ,a third of the releif aid our country dishes out is allocated by the EU. I wonder if they will be sending some EU money to help . ****ing ********
 
£400 odd on a hi viz hit air, £40 odd on a really good hi viz exercise sheet (bit obsessed with hi viz:) ) £250 to pay off my overdraft (which is horse related spending!) then the remaining £310 as the down payment to buy the rather stunningly comfortable dressage saddle I will be using on loan from the YO for my new loan mare.
 
put it towards the horse fund - I'm about 1/5th of the way there atm, and would like some surplus to allow for tack etc (unless on the chance the new one actually fits either of my current horses tack temporarily, but I'd prefer own saddles, bridles I'm less fussy with, G has a good 10 bridles to herself...!)
 
I'd buy a new jumping saddle for my boy, and then sell his current one to fund a dressage saddle for the mare. Need to pay for my 7.5 t lessons/test too.
 
I fancy an air jacket so a large chunk would go to that the some lessons, possibly a week at Yorkshire Riding Centre to ride some schoolmasters.
 
Fair fax girth, megabling equiture brow band, stubben bridle, royal rider stirrups, mattes fully lined numnah, Newmarket exercise sheet, 4 lessons, new riding boots, a shavings fork made for rubber mats
IF ONLY!!
Reading back I sound soo materialistic :( but it wud b 1000 I wud never have again so id def blow it!
