The highlight of my day is putting up the new washing line and trying out my new clothes pegs how bad is that!!

Have a nice day all xx

Afternoon!!

Just in for my lunch

- went out to feed at 8.30 and have just sat down!!

Have helped my friend get on her stupid (not so young) youngster, then helped my neices with their ponies and practise their walk and trot test etc for the yard show next week, then walked the dogs with another friend and finally put the old boy back into his paddock.

So lunch, waiting to see if I win a jacket I'm bidding on on ebay (finishes in about 20mins) and then out to ride my two - finally!!! Just sitting under a big dark cloud right now......

Will definately be opening the wine later

Hey all - just in from Paddy's first SJ comp and we were 3rd in the 2ft 3 class!!! He was a wee star and I should defo have done the bigger class! Here is a little piccie - took us ages to get him to stand still for a half a second! lol!!

Why I am looking so serious I'm not entirely sure!

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

Yey!! Well done Paddy!!

You both looked very smart!!

I just won the Mears Show Jacket I was bidding on!!

[f_s_]

Well done S_V!! Paddy the star again!!!

Right, I've just come back in from showing the pony to this girls. Really nice kid and she rode her very well(not the easiest to ride!!

Anyway, she said she really liked her and didn't want to get off!!! Not the normal conversation I have with people riding this pony!!!

So, we'll see!!

Just relaxing for a min with a nice cup of

, as all others are done!!!

 

[ldlp111]

Eventually, you get enthusiastic though!!!

 

[MrsMozart]

, so dizz went in and christened them

. slobbed aobut the yard, hubby and girls came and we trolled off to eland lodge for a coffee and a really nice cakie

now sat on sofa watching a perry mason and contemplating a bath, though should be doing some website 'stuff'

it's a hard life

 

[ldlp111]

i mean ive done a few things, rode this morning and just ended up up getting more and more frustrated that poor neddy didnt know what the hell i was asking her to do with my crap signals

then went and bought more paint for jumps, had lunch, cleaned static van ready for next lodgers.

done abit of painting, fed neds and not done much since

 

[Honeypots]

Afternoon ladies...(you are all ladies aren't you?!!!)

Had a lovely ride with daughter this morning even though cobbie decided a newly mown piece of grass was a cobbie eating monster and totally froze to the point that I had to get off and lead him!!

He didn't notice the tractor and trailer that passed us a bit later on

We were also passed by a bad mannered lady rider on a bay who trotted on as soon as she'd passed us without asking or warning us. Cobbie didn't even notice but daughters horse couldn't understand why we weren't following and started jogging on the spot, threw in a couple of bucks and generally pratted about till she were out of sight...grrrrr

Apart from that...all is good

 

[sea_view]

Hey all back again - fingers crossed F_S that this could be a sale!!!

ldlp - sounds like u've had a busy day - don't woryy, sometimes schooling just has a poop day - I have many of them!

MrsM - u sound decidedly chilled!
Just looked back at that piccie and Paddy's fetlock boots have ridden right up - me thinks I'll have to have a wee look at them!

 

[f_s_]

Is the sun over the yard arm yet??

Anyone for a G&T?

Might as well start early!!!!

 

[MrsMozart]

s-v trying to chill nicely

yesterday was so cr*p, but hey, so it goes

.

jumping sounds fun - any piccies?

hp - i hope you made suitably loud and cutting remarks!

.

i - i tired just reading what you been up to, therefore will have to slob on sofa for a bit longer

.

f-s - is child buying pony?

slinks - need a piccy!

sm - you gone quiet, what you up to?

p - are you dressed yet!

and hows the clothes peg bag doing?

hm - are you dressed and ready to go!

df - piccies?

 

[sea_view]

I'm about to have a wee rose so I will join u whilst ur having a wee G & T!

 

[Honeypots]

MM...Unfortunately I was too busy making sure Benji didn't deposit daughter on the road but I saw where she was headed and I'll have my eye out for her in future.
Sad isn't it when the worst obstacle on the road is a fellow rider?!!

 

[MrsMozart]

ah, pity, but next time!

 

[sea_view]

Lol Mrs M that is a round up. No piccies as I forgot the camera - doh!!! But I must say he really was great and popped the jumps like they weren't really there - everyne said he was way needing more of a challenge - so next time that's what we'll go for.

 

[sea_view]

Right gang - hading t get ready for house warming - catch y'all laters

 

[f_s_]

See you later S_V

Mrs M - have a small one!!!

Girl really liked the pony, but...there's always a but

I was suggesting that she loaned her, keeping her on our yard for a maximum of six months! mainly because she doesn't have much experience and could do with some support. After this, I would give her first refusal on the pony ( I really do want to sell her) but, at the price agreed at the beginning of the loan

. That took so long I do think it has a beard on it!!!!

Anyway, they have gone away to think about it!

So maybe not, I'll have to wait and see. Thing is, she asked if she could ride her again, and although she is lovely, I don't want to give free rides and lessons on my horses

Please tell me I'm not being unreasonable, and sorry for hi jacking the post!!!

*bounces back in!!*

I'm so pleased!!!

I just rode my girlie in the school - first time since she had her 'wobble' a fortnight a go and she was such a good girl!! She was really forward (always is!!) and was bending nicely and we even managed to get all the way through the walk and trot test doing passable serpentines!!! Yey for my Inca!!!!

MrsM - here is link to the jacket - what do we think?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=170342978382
