SWEET FA....... Friday

[Pixxie]

re washing machines....(im behind i know) i love mine...my mum wont when it dies due to me washing numnahs and bandages in it

 

[Cheiro1]

ok, well this is one of us when I first got her, and even jumping this terrified me

then this was us in our lesson the other day.

I have had her nearly 6 months now, and thanks to my wonderful instructor things are starting to click now. I know my position is appauling in the second photo but I was just pleased to get over.
she is a 15hh registered welshie btw.
CC welcome. sorry if they are huge!

 

[MrsMozart]

Very nice indeedy Cheiro

 

[ForeverBroke_]

Ooooh she is yummy!!

Rather jealous of your school too!

 

[f_s_]

Nice horse C

She's a gorgeous colour too

You look like a great partnership

 

[Cheiro1]

awh, thanks guys, your all so lovely, im always terrified people will just tell me I shouldn't be on a horse!

DL, yes the school is pretty lush!

 

[ForeverBroke_]

Where abouts are you?

If you don't mind me asking.

 

[Cheiro1]

we are in wiltshire, on the wilts/glouscestershire border area

 

[Pony_Puzz]

Don't worry C my jumping is even worse!! I had to have a neck strap yesterday as I don't give enough with my hands, but we were doing a bounce, bounce, bounce, 1 stride, 1 stride (I didn't like jumping much but getting into it again now)

I'm better/enjoy it more on my own pony and if you want to know my faults when riding.. well where to start! Worst is I poke my toes out badly and tends to mean I grip with my knees

I also have a weaker left hand (I broke my ring finger so tends to be a disadvantage when half halting)
I'll get f_s to video me sometime if she can work out the camera! Haha!

 

[ForeverBroke_]

Damn, can't steal her overnight then

I just wondered as thought I recognised the school a bit with the half boards and then fencing but must've been somewhere else

 

[Cheiro1]

P_P dont worry, I quite often jump with a neck strap, as it makes me feel a little more at easy, and my toes ALWAYS stick out! lol
DL, please dont steal her, I'd not be able to keep myself sane without her to cheer me up/make me laugh/calm me down or just to be there to listen to me babble or cry on her!

lol

 

[RubysGold]

Lol, I'm noticing tonight, that we all seem to think we have bad riding positions. Glad its not just me

I like the look of your horse Cheiro

 

[f_s_]

I think we've all used our horses as a great big Kleenex at some stage!!!!

I know I have!!!

The hair gets up your nose though, and you have to clean the snot off afterwards!!!!

 

[ForeverBroke_]

It's sort of funny really!

I was in a foul mood tonight but one look at Darcy cramming every last part of his nose into the bars of his lickit had me giggling quietly to myself for about half an hour

That and him squealing hysterically at me appearing at his door with his bucket..

Isn't it amazing how horses can do that.

I couldn't be without Roo now, when I'm upset and uncontrollable, all I have to do is cry into Roos mane, have a cuddle and I'll feel better

 

[Cheiro1]

PMSL f_s_ I cant say I had noticed that to be honest!!

 

[Pixxie]

i want to go and use my horsey as teddies right now but i cant

 

[ForeverBroke_]

Sitting on hands to the sane comment in PG

Would one "Hear Hear!!" be so bad?

 

[Cheiro1]

they have the most amazing calming effects dont they?? and they always seem to know when you most need cheering up!

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

Nice horse and well done with the jumping C!

Your school looks mahoosive!!

*makes a note* don't get snot on the BGL or the coblet............

 

[f_s_]

Mine always raise a smile, even if they are laughing at me!!

I'll let you into a secret, today I decided I needed to check Secret's rug, make sure she was warm, not leaking etc, so I climbed through the fence.

She was eating, paying no attention to me, so I did the checks, then decided I'd climb through the fence again, except.... I got my foot stuck, fell backwards, and ended up in a huge pile of sh*t!!!

She actually stopped eating, to look at me, as if to say, "what the bl**dy hell are you doing down there?"

I had to come home and work the washing machine

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

Which PG post now??

runs off to look.............

 

[RubysGold]

HAHA f_s that did make me LOL!
I love they look they give when you do things like that

 

[Pony_Puzz]

I almost snotted on a college horse the other week! Stopped dead on me, I've so far managed to fling myself back on at the last minute of the dirty stops!
My mare loves attention, would love the hugs etc but she acts like she doesn't.. and if you dare try kiss her nose or pull her mane she gets in a right little huff! But I laugh at her

 

[ForeverBroke_]

Soph's

And LOL FS

I bet she was disgusted.

 

[f_s_]

DL - well done on that poster!!!

A "hear hear" would be fine, but I daren't

 

[ForeverBroke_]

PP you can come and jump Darcy then, yes?

Someone must be brave enough!

 

[Cheiro1]

is Darcy not a budding showjumper then DL?

 

[ForeverBroke_]

For an ex-eventer, 100% no

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

Was so tempted to post a hear hear........

f_s - did she give you that 'look'?

you know the one that says 'For Gods sake what are you doing down there?

you are soooooooooooooooooooo embarassing..........'

DL - just keep persevering and have some more lessons - you will get the confidence one day without realising it!

Do you jump on other horses or is it just Darcy?
