Because they look pretty and go really really really fast........
Sorry guys, they need someone who knows what they're doing.
Simple= because they dont want a bargy, ugly , hairy, ignorant fat cob!!!!I mean ordinary folk, not people that go to the real Badminton and all that, or racing, just people who do a bit of hacking, and the odd local show - why? Serious replies or funny ones - no nastiness, please.
Of jumping? or photoshopping?Speaking of your siggy have you any more pix?
Ok, here it is.... seriously, why do people want to own thoroughbreds...
Cuppatea - you are presumably riding an ex-racehorse - so why ride him as if he were still a racehorse? Not having a go, just asking a perfectly logical question because he still looks at if he was racing to me.
Both!Of jumping? or photoshopping?
I think the racing tack is a give awayI wasn't commenting on cuppatea's riding ability, merely asking why she is riding in such a style of what presumably is an ex-racehorse but I may be wrong and for that I apologise.
May I ask what the TB injury Hotline is?

As for the comment about an ex race horse on the road - the biggest problem I had with my first one is that, having been up at lambourn where the horse is king, his disregard for traffic was outstounding and my biggest problem was keeping him to one side of the road and NOT the centre!!

Quite!I think the racing tack is a give away
I think she works in racing - that's probably why - an probably why she knows how to ride them. She looks like a damn good jockey to me!!
I was only joking - making a jibe at the why do people want to own cobs thread. The ex racer I had was totally broken down with a tendon injury and thoroughly neglected... he had weatherbeat and was emaciated - he'd been "turned away" for the winter with no rug on the welsh hills. Everyone laughed at me for buying him, but come the summer, he was so beautiful, people came and apologised to my face for laughing behing my back. When I got my section D years later, it was because I couldn't face the scary fast galloping and danger of TBs....To give everyone yet another thing to moan about to make themselves feel yet more superior to the people that (on this thread) are treated like tw8ts for wanting to rehome beautiful horses

No offence, but I'd feel far safer on any TB than on a Welsh D. Lovely as they are, I think they're harder work than TBs!
Yes, section Ds are more like naughty ponies than horses, somehow! They have the same sort of beauty as TBs though.
Both!
I agree! More pictures please! Especially of the lovely chestnut in your signature!!
