[Honeypots]

*snigger...sorry..couldn't resist

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

Hehe!

Nixon was shivering like a big wuss this morning!!

Told him to stop be a big wuss pants and to run around

.......Can't have a rug on as he trashed it so is being repaired!!

 

[Vickey]

poor samstar... Honeypots is so cruel to you..lets wrap her in stickleback (thats what we used to call goose grass)

It actually dry here and has been so since midday, looks like it could pour down at any mo mind you, but got loads of washing out swooshing in the wind. It is chilly compared to how it has been tho, might have to put a cardi on in the mo, or get the hoover out...

Cuppa tea for me please skinky

 

[samstar]

I know poor me, she always picks on me about my height.

Thought best things came in small packages

 

[Vickey]

well in girls yes, certainly not in men tho!

 

[samstar]

your right there

ooo we are winning 2-0

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

Now now calm down you two

Cuppas for you both - can I interest you in a cream eclair to go with that?

Mmmm......lovely!!

 

[Vickey]

Not for me thanks, gotta go running in a bit, got a bikini to try and fit into in just over 3 weeks! Believe me i will already look like the beached whale next to my sis! she is touching 6ft to my 5'4 and legs to her armpits! So unfir, why wasnt i stretched when i was young!?

 

[ldlp111]

ok so how many of you guys do just dressage comps? as ive entered two tests for next sun (14th) and never done two at one time before how am i gona remember them both ahhhh!!

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

O - thankies ldlp!!

Mmmm - yummy!!

Might have to add them to the shopping list for when I'm next brave enough to venture into a supermarket!!

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

ldlp - I'm just starting to do stressage with my boy

(my mare goes lame at the mention of work

- thats why she is on box rest

- I told her she had to do the walk and trot test at the yard annual show and bugger me 2 days later has gone all footy

.....) but I was talking to my RI about the best way to learn them (like you if I am going to go somewhere I may as well do 2 to make it worth the effort) and she suggested drawing them out on a piece of paper. On a piece of A4 mark out where the letters are and then draw the test as you 'walk through' it in your mind. Make up symbols for walk, trot etc and it should help it stick. Then just before each test read through it a couple of times. There will also be someone there to read for you - I would use them as if I make a mistake my mind will go blank......

 

[ldlp111]

yeah i do the drawing it out thing anyways, never normally have a prob but with two might be stretching my 2 braincells bit too far lol

bf will hopefully be coming but he is dyslexic (sp) so not great at reading but i have asked him and said i will write test out with less to read etc.

seem to of got the bug from last dressage comp i actually had fun, im shocked

about that, unfortunatley again wont have much chance to do schooling dont wana do too much riding til got correct fitting saddle.

which hopefully will be this week

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

Get saddle sorted and then you will be away!!

There will be some one at the competition who will read for you if you need it. Don't think my OH would be up to reading it for me and we would probably just end up squabbling about it as I would blame him if I went wrong!!

Better to get the organisers person to do it as they will know what they are doing and you avoid a domestic!!

 

[ldlp111]

yeah i guess its at local show so will they have anyone available??

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

They do at all of ours - just ask as soon as you get there and they will sort some one out for you.

Right I'm going to be brave now and whizz around feeding the brats before taking up residence on the sofa for the evening!!

See you in a bit!!

 

[f_s_]

Evening everyone!!

The foal cam's coming back! the foal cam's coming back!!!! Yeee!!!

Hi MM99 I've been wondering what you've been doing with all those ill gotten gains!!!!!

I've been soaked twice now today!

Plus the bl**dy loon of a horse has charged all over the place!!!

Anyway, I got some photos of my little one strutting his funky stuff!!!

 

[ldlp111]

[samstar]
