Oi!!

[Starzaan]

Stop moving me! I'm all sick!

And I did mention my NEW HORSE arriving... which counts as EQUESTRIAN!

Pfffft.

More pills.


Gr.

 

[Echo Bravo]

What again!!!. So what is your new horse like and why the hell do they keep moving you

 

[Starzaan]

Apparently my love for the FARRIER is not a general EQUESTRIAN post. TFC was very nice in his PM, but I shall not I shall not be moved again! I shall come at you like a nun!

New horse is a darling... 17.2hh, black TB gelding with a funny piebald tail, 100% bombproof, and PERFECT for teaching on... he just has to put up with a few months of the drugged idiot in the wheelbarrow first...

 

[jodie3]

So how come they allow 4 pages of 'how tall/how much do you weigh?' and its not even about being too heavy/tall for your horse?

If I'm going to venture into Soapbox better dig out the passport and the hiking boots and a map then......... I may be some time...................


Please tell us more about your NEW HORSE. I think we need a picture, especially of the piebald tail your NEW HORSE has.

 

[Echo Bravo]

What an ex-racer, what do you intended to do with him, when you are fit, off the whelks and lemons(muscles and cockles are good) and FF trimming him. Hunting eventing or showing.

 

[Echo Bravo]

B***ger, my passport is out of date and forgot where my hiking boots are. But the NEW HORSE sounds really nice

 

[Starzaan]

Hohohoho!
He is indeed an ex racer, although he last ran about six years ago and has been a master's horse since then!
He's going to be used in the riding school as a confidence giver, mainly for disabled riders, and also for darling Ed should he decide he wants to ride off into the sunset and abandon me in the wheelbarrow!

 

[Echo Bravo]

Can I have him, the horse not Ed, I may need a ladder but sounds ideal for me. Did he win when he was raced and how about the other horses you have.

 

[Starzaan]

I don't think he did win when he raced... he's a tad galumphy, but terribly sweet!

You can only have him if you persuade FF to fall madly in love with me...

Trust me, you wouldn't want the others... they're all a bit mad/stupidly expensive to run!

 

[Echo Bravo]

S*dit, sounds ideal for me, but no can do girl. I'm Mid Beds. But hopefully you will be on the mend soon. And he was used for hunting, why is he no longer used for that?

 

[jodie3]

Hohohoho!
He is indeed an ex racer, although he last ran about six years ago and has been a master's horse since then!

I'm just chuckling to myself imagining the look on the faces of our RDA group as we lead in the new 17.2 'pony' ..............

Think we would need a bigger mounting block.

 

[Starzaan]

His owner moved abroad, and he wants a quieter life, so is coming to me to mooch around and be adored by little girls!

And Jodie3... I teach at an RDA centre where the horse they use for RDA vaulting is 18hh... the looks on parents faces when they first arrive at a vaulting session are priceless!

 

[dibbin]

Very excited about your NEW HORSE. Nothing like a gentle giant, is there? The riding school at my yard has a big lanky 17.2 ganglebag, and he's an absolute superstar. He can look after a novice like a proper big gent, but an experienced rider can have great fun with him.

Fancy swapping for my 15.1 eejit?

 

[Echo Bravo]

Oi!! Dibbens I have first call, but if the new horse cann't take to RDA I have first dibs. But how are you really getting on and coping with the yard and horses and how many do you have.

 

[Starzaan]

I do adore big horses... my current lot are all over 17hh until you get to the strangest purchase I have ever made in the form of the 15.2hh mare who likes to flip over backwards...

Ganglebag is my new favourite word....

ETA - I am managing somehow with the yard! Luckily I got ill before I filled all the boxes, so have been able to chuck my rabble out and let them get on with it! I've got five of my own at the moment, and two liveries who are (luckily) turned away for the winter. The big wheelbarrow is coming in handy!

 

[Echo Bravo]

ERRR! Is that the name of the horse

 

[Starzaan]

Haha! No! Sadly he is not bringing up the standard of names on my yard, he's called "Tuffers". Shocking.

 

[dibbin]

That's it! His proper name can be .... drum roll please ...

MORAGULOUS GANGLEBAG!!!

 

[Starzaan]

Careful.... I'll use it!!

My poor youngster was officially changed from "Sunrise Over Sea" to "Wafting Morag" a few weeks ago... he's fine with it, the woman with CHAPS was not so...

 

[dibbin]

You should use it, you did say you wanted to get 'moragulous' into one of their names

My friend's gypsy mare is CHAPS registered ... as "Page 3 Girl", which suits her, as she is a bit of a tart.

 

[Starzaan]

Moragulous Ganglebag it is....

 

[dibbin]

Yay

 

[Echo Bravo]

Girls careful, she maybe heading back to soapbox. I'm asking serious questions and you two are doing a silly wellie dance. HUMPH!!

 

[dibbin]

No we're not, EB, we are discussing names for Starzaan's NEW HORSE, who is very very equine indeed. And is a Moragulous Ganglebag.

Starzaan is far too ill to welly dance. But she could tell us ALL about her other horses

(That better? )

 

[Starzaan]

Haha! What would you like to know my squishy little pickle? I am indeed too ill to do the welly dance, even the tiniest little waft makes me fall down at the moment.. I'm crap!

 

[MrsMozart]

Loving the name

As the proud owner of The Dizzy Blonde...

Ah yes. Knew there was something I should mention.

HORSES.

HORSE. HORSE. NEIGH. HORSE. WHINNEY. HORSE. GALLOPING. HORSES. HORSE.

There, that's me done.

Glad you're sounding okay my little whelk encrusted lemon scented morag wafting wheelbarrow riding friend.

 

[dibbin]

Well done, MrsM, keep us on topic! We shall not, we shall not be moved ...

Starzaan lovely, tell us about all your horses (we're nosy that way); names, ages, colours, breeds, personalities ... shoe size?

Fear not, we will all band together and form a Starzaan Welly Dance Tribute Group.

 

[jodie3]

His owner moved abroad, and he wants a quieter life, so is coming to me to mooch around and be adored by little girls!

And Jodie3... I teach at an RDA centre where the horse they use for RDA vaulting is 18hh... the looks on parents faces when they first arrive at a vaulting session are priceless!

Wow!! That would be something to see.

I am very new to RDA and i would love to know where RDA becomes para dressage?

Think I might have to start a new thread.

 

[Millyard Rejects]

starzaan- while you are in the mood for naming neddies- a very noble equine cause!
may i request ideas for a grey filly connamara that may be landing on my doorstep this weekend?? many thanks in advance

 

[Mogg]
