Hi there folks, just dropping in here after a recommendation by a friend, I hope i enjoy my time here and who else is from this side of the water?

 

[Divasmum]

Welcome. I'm Hertfordshire based but you will find some Irish forumites here,

 

[Rowreach]

Hallo, whereabouts are you from?

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

Hello and Welcome!!

I'm sure more of the Irish contingent will be a long a bit later!!

 

[CorvusCorax]

Hiya, I'm here too *waves*

 

[paul_gt4]

I'm from Derry, in the North West of Northern Ireland, but earlier in the year I moved just across the border to Donegal.

 

[CorvusCorax]

I lived in Derry for nearly ten years, used to ride at Lenamore

 

[Berkeley]

I'm English but my mother is a Dubliner and so are my 7,000,000 other cousins! hahaha. Welcome to the forum!

 

[paul_gt4]

I'm there at the minute with Geraldine, my girlfriend rode there for over 20years. Geraldine is some character, i went with the Lenamore crew to the Porthall hunt there last weekend, it was some craic.

 

[CorvusCorax]

Do you have the big dark bay?
I think I used to ride in Christoff's lesson with you before I left - that's Da Vinci in my avatar <

I was at Port Hall for the closing meet last year, must try and get out this season!

 

[paul_gt4]

I've recently only began lessons there, Christoff is leaving now in 2weeks time to head back to France, had a few lessons with him recently.
I'm riding Terry Crossans (he has a horse at Lenamore atm and 4 at home) horses for him at the moment and will be looking after the girlfriends horses for the inter university challenge which begins next week.

 

[CorvusCorax]

Ah, no worries, will have to get back up there soon, I love GG, that old saying is true, if she doesn't shout, she doesn't care

 

[paul_gt4]

Where you living at now?

 

[CastleMouse]

Welcome

 

[CorvusCorax]

I'm between Ballymena and Ballymoney.

 

[paul_gt4]

Not so bad not too far away. I'm sure i'll see you about, as i'm fairly new to horses (less than a year), you might know my girlfriend as she was at Lenamore for the best part of 20years, she took lessons up there years ago and now tutors Kenneth a bit for his school exams. Her name is Sarah Lindsay

 

[CorvusCorax]

Yes, I think I know her! Probably see you there then

Hey and welcome,

Derry is my second home as hubby & inlaws are from there, inlaws still there of course. Dad's side of the family from Dublin so a lot of Irish going on here.

I used to go to Geraldines, many years ago before I had my own horses.

Nice to have you here, the Irish lot are a good ole bunch

 

[paul_gt4]
