My next equine project horse

Have followed this for the whole of your (and Ted and Alice's) journey and am lost in admiration for all of you! Good luck and hugs for thurs - I'm sure you will be fine. :-)
 
You need to take some 'Ted vibes' with you.........Lie on your side, peer through one eye, sigh and fart................

On second thought.............;)

Best of Luck xxx

A pint of cider has that effect on me !

I have decided that after surgery and 9 months of being poisoned and fried there is no way anything nasty can still be lurking. Even so, concentration levels are zero and I am likely to burst into tears for no reason at the moment. Home earlier than expected so time for a wobble on the cob I think.
 
Wow Alice has gone really dark!

Must be fugly time of the year! Bridgette looks the same- must be an ID thing as cant have come from beautiful mummy ponies :)

I like the idea of someone else doing the schooling- that's usually my job on the mob lot :)

I would use the crying as a good excuse to go for hacking therapy

Chin up lovely, you will be fine, stop using it as an excuse not to write the book.......................................

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
 
Trying hard. Better get up, there will be lots of fence walking going on by now. Ted will be ringing Child Line claiming abandonment.
 
What a gorgeous photo you posted of Alice. Which bits are fugly?

Not surprised you are having the wibblies about the mammogram. Best plan yourself a very nice reward for going.

I went for a breast check about a month ago. A long wait, so read some women's magazines, one of which informed me that not only does red wine protect against cancer, is good for blood pressure plus a couple of other things, but they've now discovered it's good for your eyes too! Yay. I recommend you start dosing up on a regular basis.
 
Red wine sounds like the panacea for all ills :D just as well I've discovered that the local wines here in Cyprus are really good.. They'd been keeping that a secret!

AA,, hope all went well with your breast squishing session today xx
 
Ouch ! just got home, missed the first hour of Aintree. Now tucked up in bed with box of Ferro Rocher and the TV. Three weeks to wait unless anything wrong.
 
First of all sorry it is a bit late but thought I would do another little update on the Ted and Alice blog (hopefully AA doesn't mind)!

On Wednesday I was lucky enough to be allowed back to go and see the gorgeous Ted and Alice, not forgetting Martha the big cob, Alice's Mum and AA's beautiful retired show horse. We got down and tacked up Martha and I took her out for a lovely afternoon hack. It was a different hack this time and surprisingly we didn't get ourselves lost, unlike the previous occasion (its a circular route but my sense of direction really is that bad)! There was some big big traffic passing us on some pretty narrow lanes which would have sent my rising 7 connie into the hedge bottom but good old Martha just ploughed on as if they weren't there - she really does make you feel so safe to be on board!

When we got back, AA had hitched the lovely mare that is Alice's Mum up to some long lines and took her for a quick spin round the yard. Apparently she hasn't been ridden in 2 years but AA wanted to see what happened if I lay across her back. So we tacked her up, I got into position and she was good as gold! Got on properly and took her for a walk around the barn and I can honestly say if I hadn't have known I'd have said she was ridden every day of her life. Such a lovely lovely calm mare - AA really does have the eye for an all-round brilliant horse!

We finished off by turning the horses back out into the fields and making our way to see the gorgeous Ted and the real Adorable Alice. Alice was as graceful as ever (and certainly didn't look "fugly" to me) and Ted gave us both a nice head butt to say goodbye.
 
Photos! There is a serious shortage of photos on this thread. Stamps foot Ted style and pins ears back :D

How lovely it is to get someone else's perspective on AA's beasties. AA you do know that if you had an Open day there would be a long queue of HHOers waiting to meet your horses.

Opps, that's the second time we forgot the camera.

Ted is feeling rather grown up and sensible today, plus having one over on the ever perfect Alice also floats his boat. It's worming time and being far too idle to fetch them over I decided that aged 2 3/4's they are both big and ugly enough to be wormed in the field. I thought it may be a bit ambitious with Ted.

Ted was lassoed and to my amazement took his medicine without question, Alice on the other hand, was convinced I was about to poison her and threw a strop large enough to prevent the dreaded syringe getting anywhere near her mouth, she even waved a front hoof at me. Ted stood there smirking and I admitted defeat. Never assume with horses !!

I had the pleasure of visiting another HHo forum member today and for the first time ever, I met a Highland pony. I felt very honoured to be allowed to ride and what a super, balanced and so comfortable ride I had. I am no lightweight yet the pony carried me like a big horse would.

Ted and Alice better watch it, I might trade them in for a Highland !
 
Maybe I could saw him off at the knees ?

I the floor came up very quickly when I got off the lovely Highland, I am more used to a bit of a parachute descent.

Alice practising being fugly, she is so un-photogenic, I haven't got a really nice picture of her yet.

I love foals !

She has family in high places, her half brother Tower Bridge has just taken a hunter championship, he is owned by the Queen. Alice needs a make over, maybe if I groomed her she would be less fugly.
