Sorry if going off on a different tangent, but there seemed to be an awful LOT of "weighty" threads, i.e. "Am I too big for my horse" sort-of-thing.

There is one which stands out in my memory as being particularly combative; everyone and his dog seemed to be outraged over it, I can't quite remember the gory details of it but it seemed to go on and on for ever. Perhaps someone will remember the details.

Was that not the one with the large American or Canadian lady, was it Joan or something she had a black horse and there was a lot of snow on the ground for months on end, and everyone really gave her some stick about riding the horse ?
 
Wow this has made me realise how long I lurked before I joined ? actually remember being quite scared too!

Where did Applecart go? I just remember lots of ‘ethanol fusion’ at the time............

BOGOF threads, Hovis, most threads where cptrayes got stuck in ? (glad she’s still here) and any threads/posters that update regularly have been compulsory reading ??

Loving Auslanders shitland shenanigans at the moment, Bears journey and missing ‘a day in the life of a work rider’ from Elf on a Shelf.......
 
A quick update on A Day In The Life Of A Work Rider - painting sucks! Its dull, repetitive and boring! 45 stables down, 10 to go! That is literally all I have been doing for the last 3 weeks! White, black and cream paint! Though it did get interesting at the start of week 2! Two tubs of cream paint looked like spew in a bucket! 3/4 of one tub turned out a stoney/beigey colour (jodhpur colour!) When dry on the wall. The other 1/4 of the tub and full tub was literally puke green - comic book colour puke green!

Who was the poster that was really knowledgable about barefoot, I recall she always gave really good advise.

And, does anyone remember the lady that lived in Europe, I can’t recall where but she had no money, lived with her cat ( I think) and was desperate to get back to the UK. Was she training to be a vet? But couldn’t afford to do it in the UK?

Who was the girl with the horse with kissing spine? I think he might have been called king or prince or something regal?

I cant remember her username but she does have a FB page about her horses. Her horse is King and she also had a little chestnut called Major who gave her a bit of a hard time! She has another horse now too.

What happened with her? Did she become a vet?

I don't know, a few of us had her on fb, but I think everyone got blocked, she did leave vet school as ran out of £ and was back in the UK and wasn't terribly well at the time.
 
Oh, one other slightly random poster that I miss is justabob. She could be quite sharp but I quite liked her. Just did a search on her username and looks like they last posted in 2016.

I am trying to remember her name.....yes it was horrible and it really upset me at the time, I seem to remember a few members tried very hard to convince her otherwise but she did go ahead and then started posting again under another user name. Myself and a couple of other members suspected there was an element of Munchhausen's going on. If I could remember my original user name i could probably track it down - but I cant!
 
I miss all the old eventing crew that used to post too:
Baydale
Mearsdale millie (dont think I'm spelling that right)
LJ something (went to Burgley)
Table Dancer
Hot to Trot

I loved all their reports, they were really good writers as well as eventers and trainers
