Is to own a Palamino!! I am lucky enough to have 2 lovely horses, a TBx and a Clydesdale, but I really really want one, dont ask me why?!
So, is 3 horses too much like hard work?
Would I be satisfied with a token one i.e very small one and so do shetlands come in palamino colouring?
and lastly whats on your list????

Gosh darn it...now I feel all selfish NP...can you not just be self involved for a single post :p
 
Hmm not quite the right smiley on the end of my post me thinks :)

No, personally I have a great admiration for you and your work. Your list demonstrates the qualities I admire.
 
Buy some cheapy foals from somewhere, and let them loose in our field (with likely a bunch of geriatrics by that point) and bring them on for any potential children :eek:

Yep, I'd rescue them :)

(alternatively I'd rehome from a sanctuary, but sometimes that is more rigorous than trying to adopt kids :eek: )
 
oh heaven.......if you were in teh midlands, I'd be on your door now!x......any chance of a pic to drool over??x

^ ^ ^ - Have emailed you oooodles of pics!

You will be sorry you asked!!
 
Jump a 2'6 course again. Now I know that to many of you on here that seems tiddly, and considering I used to compete at 3'6 and jump courses that were considerably bigger at home, it probably should to me. But I haven't jumped for two years, at least not properly, and just jumping a 2' fence the other day terrified me! I'm saving up for some lessons to help me :)
I also would love to own an Arab, but this is very unlikely :(
 
Top of my list, and it may not be long as I am pretty ill at the moment, will be to show those who think they are being oh so clever that actually they are not and they will regret messing with my ponies!!
 
To be confident is my main one, which I *will* achieve... I keep telling myself that but not sure it is working. Also to be able to hack out, go hunting for the first time, go around a proper xc course for the first time... and enjoy life with my horses etc!
 
I like NP's list and wish I was that altruistic/switched on... will have to second all that she listed :)

Given my self-centered self, I want to ride the Dizz as she deserves to be ridden; to compete at something she is comfortable and keen to do (I had hoped it would be BS, but have given up on that dream).

Oh, and to sell our home and find another where we can have our horses at home and settle down and relax into :D
