Past threads/members- Good/Bad/Funny

There was one person posted an MRI scan after coming off on a frosty morning - exercising racehorses I think. And from the scan they had broken nearly every bone - collarbone, ribs, etc. etc. No idea if it was genuine or not but I remember.

Also remember someone called Scampi who was in a tiss as she was at uni and had been called in for plagarism and I always wondered what had happened.

There were a couple of very knowledgeable people who used to comment on eventing and I miss their reports. And the men who have disappeared. And who can forget Hot to Trot.
 
I'd like to know what happened to Weezy. I can remember she did a private lesson in Your Horse once. She used to hold the forum get togethers which always used to produce hilarious threads afterwards especially the one where Dorey's Mum's boyfriend might or might not have threatened someone with a butter knife.

In fact I wonder what Dorey's Mum's up to now. And JM07 and Patches who bought a pony off JM07.
 
Anyone got any links to these threads would like to read some of the more controversial again?

I also wonder what happened to the man who wanted to just rock up at a racing yard and ride their horses

Remember riley boy and that live love laugh one. Back when I used to lurk there was Jazzaria?

While controversial I found some of these threads really interesting reads as they were so controversial

I’m friends with Patches on FB - she is very well ?

I’m friends on FB with a lot of people who used to be on HHO and don’t bother with it any more, but I can never remember what their user names used to be ?

It still happens that I want to spell France as Franch, after all the posts by those crazy horse rescuers who wanted to save every horse going to slaughter in Franch, regardless if they had a suitable owner for the horse in UK, or not.

Am I allowed to mention the Penis beaker thread here in the Tack Room?
If anyone wants to relive this classic thread from 2013 https://forums.horseandhound.co.uk/threads/mumsnet-classics.636554/#post-12089140

The penis beaker was brilliant I'm not a member but that led me to the mums net classics page which offers hours of amusing reads!

I think my favourite HHO horsey is Ted....he's just the type I like and seems to have character in spades ???
I love the Bog and Bear thread too and Auslander's Alf ??

Ted is flattered to be remembered twice. He says hello to everyone and hopes you are all well. He is hoping a food parcel could be posted as he is starving. His new slim line look is helping his soundness of feet, however his head is not agreeing with calorie control. He is currently home working on his airs above the ground ready for his return to the dressage arena later in the year. I have reminded him that this move, on the way to the judges car, may cause concern.

I miss Tarrsteps. Always such great advice. I also miss a poster who lived in Holland (I think) who had dressage horses, along with her daughter. One of the daughter's horses was called Breitlingh and looked stunning, although she was a handful, and the poster bought a lovely young palomino mare after losing a horse. I really enjoyed reading her updates.

Hot to Trot moved to the US, as I recall. I miss her comp reports. They were hilarious.

Does anyone remember the crazy thread started by an (alleged) nanny who wanted to buy a horse for the kid she was nannying, and neither she nor the family knew a damned thing about horses? Was that a troll? Was there ever an update?

Hot to trot - she moved to Japan and had more children, i miss hers!

The problem is that during for example Franchgate, those involved in the Franch rescue complained so much when the threads weren't positive to their so called rescuing, that Admin simply deleted a whole lot of threads, so there isn't much left to reread.

Though in some cases I'm not sure if I can't find a thread because it's deleted, or because I'm using the wrong keywords, like for example the thread How cute is your OH?

Anyhow, here is some perhaps controversial threads:

Lastly a short one, only 2 pages https://forums.horseandhound.co.uk/threads/romanian-dogs.642733/

That brought back memories, seeing replies by Spudlet, Brighteyes, Natch, LizzieJ, and so many more posters that I miss. Gives me even more reason to be happy over those who is still here, love you HHO:ers.

I used to love reading about Fig the ex racer turned dressage horse, I know her sister still comes on here she has the most gorgeous pony stallion who is one of my favourites.

I also remember another girl that had some beautiful horses I one was a spotty horse she bred, and she often bought project horses to bring on, I always loved her pictures and videos she was such a lovely rider, I think her user name was Vicki something I can't remember.

hehe, yeah it was vicki I thought of when FL posted the pic of the boots :p
 
There was a post maybe a year or two back, not that long ago really, about a lady (Red something? can't remember her username) who had her horse at a small yard and the two other liveries wanted to brick up her stable so her horse couldn't nip the other horses over the wall - it was a strange set up, with her having to walk through another stable to turn out/bring in. Then she moved into the rented cottage at the yard and the relationship with the other liveries really turned to custard. There was another horse stabled outside, and they were going to PTS as a knee-jerk reaction for some reason. Anyone remember it? I've wondered how it all worked out in the end...

I remember this one. Her yard owner was an old man who didn't get involved and the other horses were geldings and hers a mare possibly. They used middle stable for storage and they wanted to move one of the horses into the storage stable I think. Not sure what happened with that in the end.
