Show me your horses :)

Meet Kelly!!
My absoutely stunning 14.2hh bay part loan mare. She's 16 years young and acts like a 3 y/o!! :)
She was rescued from the gypsies with her foal at foot and the lady who owns her told me when she went to view her, the first thing Kelly did was snake her neck at her with her ears flat and then tried to boot out in the stable! (Glad she till decided to go ahead!!!) She wasn't broken, backed, hadn't been handled, had been beaten (still has issues with strange things nowadays) and she was aggressive and dangerous - G stuck with her despite being told to PTS. She has come so far to where she is now!
She's the horse of a lifetime, she really is :D I've been with her for 5 years now and even when I took her on, she still napped, was still learning to jump (in the way she hadn't really done fillers or anything unusual) and was generally a bit of a devil. She is still a bit of a devil and due to injury, we have had to limit the jumping (been out of action for the past 6 months, JUST got back on her) but we did very well.
We do the odd show (time to hit the veteran classes!) and usually don't get placed but everytime we go I see an improvement in how she goes and I know I'm taking the best horse home! :p We also hack lots and when she's better will take up schooling again! :) I love her to absolute pieces!!

Thank you :) I am particularly proud of that, it's the biggest we've ever done. I was lucky enough to have a horrible ex who was very good at (free) photography!!! :p And well, we have to embarrass them in some way don't we ;)
 
Cor, Kub, blindingly white! What do you use to get him that clean?

Another one of Beau as I realise I haven't bored everyone with this pic yet! The day I bought him:

Ooooo I like!! Ummm... Good question!! I think it was wash in diamond white, then tresemme, then a blue mix I make (ariel excel gel, fairy liquid, tresemme, vanish liquid and equine blue) and then chalk on the bottom of his feather. Normally brings him up pretty well :) Think the sunshine helped too :D
 
Here's my fab heavyweight maxi cob George - we do workers, dressage, SJ, combined training, hacking and anything fun we fancy!

And here's my two retired ones (in pre retirement lovliness - they don't look like this now!).

Tom coloured heavy weight cob who had a HOYS winning career before I got him but enjoyed all the stuff I now do with George, and Whisper, who had her accident as a just backed rising 4 year old so we never got to play out :(

And this is Blossom, she is a 1yr old american paint X irish cob :) she only has one eye..she was born with both eyes but blind in one (the one that isnt there now) and she burst the blind eye on barbed wire so it had to be removed. It doesnt bother her at all, shes an amazing filly to own :) i've owned her since christmas, she was a present from my dad ^_^

and here is one of them both :)

This is Belle. She is a 16.2hh ISH (technically something like 1/2 KWPN, 3/8 TB and 1/8 ID but she definitely looks Irish). I got her in October really just for happy hacking and fun, though she has turned out to be far more of a handful than I had anticipated! We seem to be getting there though and are having 1 or 2 lessons each week to improve skills for the both of us. Then I hope to carry this over to making her into a fun hacking horse.

My fave picci of us so far :D

I have just a few pictures of my coloured pony Tigerlilly, or as i like to call her Tiggerlilly.
She is a 14.2hh, 5-year-old rising 6, Welsh mare. I love her to pieces and she is truly the best pony i have ever owned, ridden or looked after. I prefer to do showjumping as that is Lilly's greatest strength, as you can see by the pictures she jumps for fun.

Jumping at a local show, earlier this year. Placed 4th.

He was about 18 years old when we had to put him down.
We dont know the breed, but he was happier going western then english. ( So is my wife :) )
