There seems to be alot of bitcheness and i hate to admit it bullying going on on this forum at the mo it makes me quite sad to read it. :( So I thought I would make a post wishing you all a happy xmas and a great new year.
I also wanted to thank you all for all the wonderful support i have recieved from so many people over this last year which has been the worst year of my life. Everyone was so kind when Lucy fell ill and noone knew what was wrong. Then the support continued after i got the awful diagnosis. It was encouraging to know so many people where following Lucys story and willing her to get better. Then in July when my whole world fell appart and I lost my angel I was over whelmed by the support I recieved. So many heartfelt messages and such support as I struggle to come to terms with the loss of my girl. Over 100 members of Lucy's memorialgroup on FB are from this forum people who never met her but where touched by her story. Even now when I feel down I look back at the messages and am able to take some comfort from the kind words from so many people. There has also been such wonderful support from you all for my work with horrid herbie.
Thankyou to everyone I don't know how I would have made it through this year without HHO and all it's lovely members.
Please can we all try to remember why the forum is here. To inform and advise people, so we can pass on our knowlage and also to support people who are going through a tough time and may have noone else to turn to, like me. We used to be one happy comunity and I loved reading all the posts. Now i worry if a post will turn nasty and even worry about posting myself sometimes (although non of my posts have turned nasty, yet!)
I hope 2011 will bring happyer times for not only me but this forum to.

Happy christmas to you all and a great big thankyou from me, the horrid one and Lucy where ever she may be. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
 
Merry Christmas and a Happy New year to you too.

Thanks guys :D

Suffolkangel Thankyou :o the next update could be very very intresting. He's not been ridden for over a mounth due to the weather. I think the very horrid herbie could return when it finaly thaws. ;) :rolleyes: :p :D :D
 
Well said Laura!

I am relatively new here although I lurked for a long time. I was so sad to read about Lucy.

You come across as a lovely caring person and that is just what this forum needs, especially at the moment as its all gone a little crazy :eek:

I wish you and everyone else a lovely Xmas and great 2011

Merry Christmas Laura, hope you have a wonderfull christmas and new year and that 2011 is a brilliant year for you and the Less Horrid One.
Thanks to you too for all of your encouragement and support and advice re paddy earlier this year. Just to let you know he is very happy in his new loan home and although he is still up to his old tricks his new mummy has all the time e needs/deserves so hopefully she will be able to get him back on track again.
Look forwards to seeing your updates next year and hopefully loads of rosettes and trophys!
Merry christmas!!
 
Thanks guys. :)

skychick I was wondering how Paddy was the otherday. Kept meaning to PM you. Glad to hear he is doing ok bless him. :) How are you getting on with your new horse? Is she still lovely? I hope so after all you went through with Paddy you deserve to have some fun now. :)
 
well said you! merry christmas all!!!

on nastiness/bullying etc......

any posts that hint of unpleasantness get signed out of straight away~~~no need for it. i hope majority post to be jolly .
 
Yeah i shall travel up to see paddy in the new year when the snow has gone, but he seems to be a happy bunny so im really pleased and at least the girl who has him knew him better than anyone so she knows all his quirks (although has said that he is 100 x worse than he used to be so we are not sure what went on with the girl who owned him inbetween her selling him and me having him!)
New horse is still very lovely, having lots of fun out hacking with her and she is teaching me tonnes in the school so that is all very good!
Loved the pics and vids of herbie jumping a while back, he is turning out to be fab. Well done you!
 
Thanks guys.

skychick I'm glad Paddy seems to be back where he belongs. Well done you for doing what was right by him. I also wonder what happened to him before poor lad he souded like he could be such a sweetheart at times. Just like Herbs can but as they have both shown if they have the wrong owners it can all turn bad. Atleast they both have a chance now to have a proper life. :)
I'm glad alls going well for you to. You deserve it after all you did for Paddy. Anyone else would have just shipped him off to a dealer and parmed him off onto some other poor unsuspecting owner :( Hope the new year brings you lots of new happy adventures with your new found friend. Take care. :) xx
 
A good post Laura, it needed saying!

I know this has been a terrible year for you, and I really hope next year will bring you lots of happiness and fun with your ponies. I hope you wont be put off posting, as I love reading about Herbs.

So HAPPY CHRISTMAS, and have a fantstic 2011 - I hope we might get the chance to meet up too. :)
