I'm Useless: Baydale does Aston

[BBs]

Yep, she is useless **rolls eyes**

Twas a pleasure to look after the big man, headbanging and all....

 

[Baydale]

Jules, thankfully he's 17.3 of sensitive pony, not lumpy, dopey pony, so it's no great effort.

T_E: all three phases would have been so useless I'd have had to give up and take up needlepoint or something easier.

Yep BBs, I knew you'd agree.

 

[KatB]

Kermit, you are such a muppet

(sorry, small things and all that....) you know you did nothing wrong, and its all lurking under the surface and will be amazing when it all comes together,

Just remember "Badminton horse"... otherwise I'll really make you suffer and give you a cow to kick round an intro

 

[Baydale]

Not sure I'd have the strength and energy to get a cow round an Intro tbh, but thanks for the vote of confidence.

 

[TableDancer]

Thing is BD, I'm going to have to agree with you, you really are useless

any decent jockey would have picked him up and put him under their arm and carried him round

(I know you shouldn't laugh at your own jokes but I'm loving that image

)

I know we've already discussed it but... Patience is a virtue and all that

 

[BBs]

I agree KatB. Neither did anything wrong, esp in the SJing.

Obviously now since Moi has turned dressage diva *ahem* I didnt think the dressage was as bad either. It was safe granted, but it wasnt as bad as Kermit thought.
Sjing will come, theyre both blooming weak. Him with age..her... doesnt have the age excuse

but does have the excuse she fell not long ago and bloody hurt herself pretty badly (Im talking as if madam cant read this).

I wasnt able to stay for the xc, but it obviously sounded like it went like clockwork.

Snigger at offering the cow as punishment, Im sure we could think of something more evil than him

How the rowing going Baydale

I think Ive gone over my cheekiness quota for today.... Im off haha

 

[KatB]

Lol! Pleased you didnt say BD had age as a weakness... you'd have got a cyber slap

 

[Baydale]

TD, I always laugh at my own jokes, nothing wrong with that

; yours are funnier though.

*BD chortles at the thought of getting HH under her arm*

BBs: I heard that, and you did well not to poke fun at me for my age - extra Jaffa cakes being stored up as a reward.

Not used the rowing machine yet as Jupiter decanting me has stuffed my knee up, so I doubt rowing will help that- any excuse eh?

 

[BBs]

You came off Jupiter?
I think its time you started wearing a matress for when you ride now. This is getting ridiculous

How did the chestnut one go yesterday? or did you not go?
x

 

[Baydale]

Oh yes, I'm useless at most things but falling off I'm really good at

(see my first "I'm Useless" post).

Ginger Cleveland Bay didn't get to do the actual show class as with so few entries they'd done it before I'd even thought about plaiting up

, so I took him to school round the course later. Did a "what is that?"

at the first fence, then my motivational technique (few hefty smacks and a bit of growling) seemed to work and he jumped really well. We put them up with a couple at 1.10m and he was ace, ever so careful and much more forward-going. Don't feel like I'll look so stupid at Hambleton Show on Sunday now.

 

[BBs]

Oh dear

thats a shame, but glad you got to do some prep for Hambledon.
You do have someone going with you? I dont want you going on your own, not sure you should be allowed on your own tbh.

What is it with you and the floor atm? you liking eating dirt?

I dont think youre getting enough Jaffas...thats the problem.

 

[Baydale]

It's ok, I'm not going on my own.

I knew there'd be a simple solution to ALL my problems (poor me

) - not enough Jaffas.
