Never been so disguisted in my life

I love the mare and foal in the first pic. Is it my ancient eyes or has foalie got one white and one coloured ear? Gorgeous anyway.

Only thing I disagree on is the moustache!! (Sorry!) I once bought a cob with one like it and the first thing I did was clip it off, it was always grubby with bits of food in and he used to wipe it all over you.............yuk!

My dad dislikes it to, he has tried loads of times to hac it off :) its not practical but its part of his character. Joey is the foal, he does have a multi coloured ears. Very nice chap he is turnin' into will be sad to see him go
 
That 'tache is amazing!! It's like a sea anemone

with respect JHoward ... if people's education was judged on their forum posts I wouldn't have had you down as the most diligent student! ;)

Rileyboy,firstly a big welcome to this forum,and secondly,your horses are lovely,and in wonderful condition.It is a pleasure to welcome you here and i hope you can provide a different perspective to the usual awareness of your background.This should help break down barriers.
 
Love the patch on the last 2 photo's eye, TB's are usually my thing but thats a nice looking ponio!

Try and ignore the guys comments, people are just horrible to each other generally in life no matter what background your from so try not to take it personally.

I know its slightly different but at work if I ever get a horrible customer and they are ranting and ranting I wait for them to finish, pause for a second and then tell them in a sickly sweet voice 'Oh I'm sorry, I didn't quite catch all of that!' and usually at that point they put the phone down as they can't be bothered to say it all again!

Maybe you could try a similar tactic if the guy starts again, let him ramble on and then when he's finished say 'Oh I'm sorry could you repeat that I wasn't really listening/didn't catch all of that' and keep saying it until he gives up!

Ha!

You get judged in life whoever you are. Don't sweat it Rileyboy.

My local non-travelling travellers :) pop in for a cuppa now and again and are actually the first people to tell me if any, ahem, not so nice people, are passing through the area.

O and as for people being stupid re rugging, someone told me they were going to report me for having electric fencing near horses as it was cruel :) lol

Some better ones of Joey losin his foal fuzz !
 
Welcome Riley. Not a fan of the hairy ones usually but that red and White chap is very handsome as is your mare. Cute foal too.. That moustache looks like it needs to be waxed into a handlebar shape. Never seen a tash that impressive before althoug I noticed some black cobs in a field near me have some good ones too..but not that good. :)
What can I say..prejudice and bigotry are a comfort blanket for lots of folks to cling to. It means they don't have to use what little brain power they have.

This is its length so far ! dnt think i shall grow it much longer. Oh the guy had no horse experience just decided he wld give my dad who has been round horses since 3 and is now 56 a few tips ;)

Honestly i normal keep myself to myself but all the nice comments lead me to wnt to show off my amazing horses (bias)
 
Wow what stunning horses! Absolutely gorgeous. Take no notice of the ignorant twit. (although would have to whip those whiskers off ;) )

One of mine has no rug on, shes 3/4 Tb and 1/4 exmoor pony and by 'eck that 1/4 exmoor gives her a coat :o Checked her this evening and shes toasty warm
 
As horses, nice. Obviously well-loved and cared for.

But breeding...

Sorry, my opinions remain the same. I don't care WHO keeps horses as long as they are properly cared for, are not overweight and not bred from except in extraordinary circumstances.

Take a look in the markets :( And I say this in The Breeding Forum at regular intervals, so not picking on anyone.

Speak as you find. People do jump to conclusions and in all walks of life there is prejudice and stereotyping. I hope you manage to overcome or forgive and may those who act against you get the same back by way of a lesson in humanity.
 
They are gorgeous, all of them. I used to show a coloured cob, was a proper chunk and a nightmare to sit if he decided to beggar about - but I adored him !!

Love both the foals (though have to confess to prefering the one with the odd coloured ears!) and your chestnut and white is just to die for....,

welcome :)

Understandable completely, i do question maself if i shld continue, Joey is our only Foal this yr and next few yrs we wont be breeding but buying in.
 
I wouldn't worry too much op my friend once had the Rspca called on her once as some people who were walking past their field had rang said they had blinded their horses, they were of course wearing fly masks! Just shows some people's lack of knowledge! Cobs and natives don't need rugs generally. They are lovely, love the red and white. My friends cob has a tash too, not as long as your black tho!

Same here. I'm the first to admit that I have expressed certain views due to some bad experiences with travellers round our way, but thankfully, the ones very local to us are nice folk, and we all look out for each other. I like to take each person as I find them, whatever their background, and you seem like a nice fella.
Your horses are beautiful too, and in super nick. No wonder you are proud and want to show them off.
Joey is absolutely stunning. Good looking and unusual with it. How big do you think he'll get?
As for the stallion's 'tache. Absolutely amazing...both ridiculous and fantastic at the same time! :D

I am always chattin with the locals, most people accept us till they find out we are travllers some pull a funny face then and hide their valuables ;)

Joey is estimated to gt to about 14.3ish but min i wld say is 14hh should be a proper chuncky stamp of a cob though !
 
Now those are what I call cobs. Beautiful beasts OP, you must be very proud of them.:) Ignore those ignorant enough not to know a well reared, bred and kept traditional cob when they see one.

I hope you will continue to post on here and post more pictures of your horses. It will be a better place around here if we had a few more like you and a few less like the earlier couple of posters who chose to show themselves up by making pathetic and judgemental posts. I will give them the benefit of the doubt that they weren't being bigoted and racist but possibly they thought they were being amusing? :rolleyes:;)

There will always be buyers for decent bred horses & you pay for decent breeding.

Fair enough theres loads of horses in the markets for peanuts, however if your looking for hunt horse you wouldnt be at a market anyway, theres plenty of greddy people in all walks of life, breeding crap with crap, hence the markets and sales over-run with unwanted horses
 
I always keep contact and make sure i know were my lot r going :) Sold a sweet filly 4 yrs ago and still recieve updates monthly with pictures.

Thank you, i do take prides dont hav kids so these fill that role, lot less hassle to ;)
 
Hello Rileyboy! Welcome to HH- lovely lovely cobs, do you drive? I've been (secretly!) hankering after a stepping cob- I've seen a few lovely ones crossed with section D's as well for light trade classes... ;)

My baby hunter is part bred trotter- it's given him lovely paces, and great stamina.

I agree that there's a market for a quality horse, as long as you breed it right and bring it on well, you give it the best you can chance of a great home.

Also... I'm another lover of those odd ears!! :D

We do drive, we drive Mav regulary he loves it, sees the cart and comes gallopin up the field screaming. I wld love a trotter thinkin of getting some next year hopefully !

He is a lovely animal
 
I hate people who tar them all with the same brush >:( my mums side of the family is traveler and my grandad(full traveler) is the most knowledgable person of animals I know! He used to own horses, he respected them, took care for them, and they. Respected him, he always asks me to make sure if hunni is ok and safe, he gets annoyed if I say she can be a little cow,as all horses are angels to him ;) I really wish people would not judge a book by its cover!
Anyway I love that moustache :O!
