may be a silly question! but cos i have broncking dressage horses.... have you taught your stallion mav to step/walk/trot like that.....or was it 'bred' into him with some sort of walking/trotting horse combined with cob? only ive never known of a cob who does that!

You could well be, however aint nothing to do with us whatever you are.

As soon as you mention your a traveller, people look at you as you got 2 head's or your deformed.....In this day and age its a joke.

But sadly, some of them still lived to the stereotype. I teach lots, I live near them and they unfortunately frequently behave in a way that leads people to hate their way of life. I seriously think the traveller programmes on TV have only served to highlight what people already believed. :(

Why the hell should it matter? As long as the posts' meanings are clear, who cares what the spelling's like?

Many people have writing problems or English isn't their first language.

Think I would like your dad, he sounds like a hoot! Welcome and thanks for posting, really enjoyed looking at the pictures of your very handsome horses. Just ignore stupid comments about spelling etc, some people must have too much time on their hands. I don't have time to re-read my posts to check for spelling or grammar mistakes and I don't care anyway! This Forum would be a nicer place if it was a bit more about horses and a bit less about bitching but there are a lot of decent people on here so please don't let it put you off :)

Yes but thats tarin everyone to the same brush, I dont know what your background is I.e you could be off a council estate do that make you a chav?? I know of people on council estate that are hardworking and decent people also know a few of the other that never intend on doing a days work in there life.

Would you like to be judged everyday in what you do?? Im sure you will be sick of it after a week of it.

Puuhlease! I find that a ridiculous argument. :rolleyes:

Isn't it now an HHO ritual to poke the newbie? I got some charming comments when I first joined: took me a while and not for nothing is HHO known as the dark side on other forums!

Weirdly, I find that recently, people are saying that spelling and grammar should not be corrected yet HHO is renowned for doing so. :confused: Is it no longer important? I disagree.

Please dont use my posts to justify poor behaviour or to make you feel comfortable being in a nasty clique, be in or out who cares, just ignore it if you disagree.

But then we'd all just tolerate trolls or windup merchants or people talking crap or selling mobiles. :confused:

Of course it matters! Were I writing on a foreign forum, I'd really hope I'd be corrected for wrong usage. Some poor spelling is just lazy (where are the 'uphauled' clique when you need them?). I would honestly think that decent spelling of common words would be helpful in the world of work. 'Discusting' annoys me every time. I don't think it's a bad thing or snobby to have standards and from your vocabulary e.t.c., I see that you are careful with how you spell!

That's such a good point. For all we know, none of us are who we say we are. We all know that, but we accept it and this is quite a community. So I wonder why some new-comers get interrogated and inundated with silly "in" jokes about trolls?

For all anyone here knows, I could be a twenty-three stone wagon driver called Bill who fantasizes about being a lady called Fiona. ;)

Good luck Bill but hmmm.... at 23 stone is your horse a weight carrier:)
 
Dads unregistered but ace of spades nice chunky type, and mum is there Phoenix, he was ment to go to dads owner but circmstance changed
 
Welcome to the forum, lovely horses and I managed to get through this whole thread in one sitting!!! I am a big fan of horses not being mollycoddled with rugs. Sadly rugs are now a fashion accessory for most with no real thought for what would truly be best for the horse. Mother nature made a pretty good job in my opinion!! The thing that really get my goat is when horses native to the British Isles are clipped to get some weight off!!!!! Very cruel.
 
My lot r natural in this wether, they r warm,groomed,fed n happy ! Ther is a cob down the road in a hevy turn out, clipped dunt see the point , but thank you

I think most people here enjoy the trolls. ;) And spam just gets removed. But if someone comes on and says who they are, why not just accept it's true until it's clear one way or another? Otherwise you run the risk of upsetting and driving away a genuine new member. :confused:

I'm lucky that reasonably correct use of English has always come fairly easily to me. But I don't discriminate against those to whom it doesn't.

Actually, I think it is snobby. :p
 
The foal with the different coloured ears, oh my gosh those ears are so yummy!

This post makes me wonder who's Puzzy's daddy was. She came from travellers :)

Welcome to the forum, Rileyboy. x

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.

That you have questioned it yourself and bred just the one is enough :) I hope if you set an example you will become a model to follow.

The guy who has hundreds of coloureds running wild through Wales has done untold damage to the community he represents and those through which his stock run riot. It's a massive shame on many levels, from a welfare point of view to colouring people's view of your family.

Speak as you find.
 
Joey is 6ish months now, tbh am waitin and leavin him till he is abwt 1ish befor I think of sellin im get him handled and Mature abut
 
Beautiful horses, love the little foal- so cute. Looks as if your horses are extremely well cared for so I would ignore the irritants who say otherwise. It baffles me how some people can be so small minded. Some of my close friends are very friendly with the local travellers and they say nothing but lovely things about them as people and horse owners. Please do keep us updated, would love to hear more updates/pictures ...oh and welcome to HHO :)

Not disputing his identity, but the writing/phrasing is great then poor, then great. It's just odd or he's not proud to have got through to GCSEs, which, IME, is hugely unusual for a male traveller.

Hardly snobby, it's just sensible and makes you more employable. Who would want to employ the sign writer who did this?

Rileyboy can I ask how YOU feel when you see yearlings and two-year-olds being trotted at full speed behind a trap, by the people you are accused of being 'connected' with? Is it the same as the outrage and despair felt by most horse-lovers?

Genuine Q.
 
Rileyboy- don't bother rising to it, just ignore them! :D

Now then- you said you were going down to Appleby- are you 'oop north too?? There's a fair few nice trotters over my way- I'm in Durham and one of my pals races trotters of you want a few looking over- always happy to pony shop (specially for other people!!) :D
 
It makes me sick to my stomach, at tht age they shld be gallabantin round a field without a care :) I have had my jaw broken for tellin someone off for doin exactly tht to a young 2yr old

In the wild youngsters would have to keep up with the herd or get eaten. As long as they are not being dragged along by a car or van but at horse speed what harm can it do. .?
