Ugh morning all....

Slept like poo, too much going through my mind. Speaking to YO today and moving Genie tomorrow. Not the YO's fault at all and still think the yard is a lovely yard itself, but not happy there anymore. Will probably lose some money but I really don't care anymore.

Second clip today.... I love how she feels after clipping! Need to get all the grease out of her coat first though so that will be fun!
 
Morning Fi, will be thinking of you today and I do hope you settle in nicely in new yard, hugs hun xx

Well its saturday, and its very heavy showers here this morning, I had to duck them coming to work

Nothing more to say as I'm working all day

Morning

Today I'm going to torture myself by going to visit the girl who bought my yearling & 4 yr old.
crazy.gif
Am looking forward to seeing them again though, just gonna feel a bit weird!

Then just to cheer myself up, I'm going for lunch and a bit of (xmas
blush.gif
) shopping with a friend
grin.gif


Hope you all have a lovely day.

Morning all...

just sat eating my breakfast then I've got to get changed quickly as I'm playing hockey (woo hoo). Already been up to bring the horse, in happy to see he survived another night of fireworks

Have a good day all!
 
fi - what have i missed? why you moving yards? hope it all goes well, and you both settle quickly. good luck with the clipping. when you're finished, feel free to come and attack my teddybear. i'm putting off his first clip until he's back in work (something i'm also putting off as i am a chicken...)

today i'm spending some time with my husband. this is his one day off in nearly three weeks. so, we are going to drink tea, cuddle, and fart about all day together. the kids are overjoyed and he is currently being climbed on by our 2 yr old.

have a lovely saturday all. xxx
 
Morning!

Just been to chuck new ponio out and muck out.... riding with a friend later...

Weather looks ok fingers crossed!!
grin.gif


Fireworks party tonight yay
grin.gif


Have a lovely day everyone!!
 
Ugh Today is the first day of No turnout. Mucked the Lovely boy out and then took him for a walk in hand. He learns routine very quickly so I am going to teach him just going for a leg stretch in the morning is Ok. Today is Saturday so he gets an hour out in school with two mates. I ponder that he will put on weight as the grazing he was on was pretty rubbish and now he'll be able to stuff haylage to his hearts content!.

I am feeling guilty about his mate who tried to bite my finger off as he is an aggressive so and so and has now effectively been sectioned. No turnout with other horses and no one near his stable. Apparently he nearly took another liveries head off and has been treating her pony as a punchbag.
 
Morning all
smile.gif


Have had a nice long lay in today as my friend chucked D out, now to start on a mountain of work
frown.gif


Fi hope the move goes okay, I think you're doing the right thing x
 
Morning all!!

Fi - glad you have made a descision and the move goes smoothly. As for the clip give her a good hot clothing before you clip - should do the trick!
grin.gif


Well I have walked the mutts and am just having my brekkie and then I'm off to ride the BGL and make a big fuss of them both after my week on the sick bed!! The coblet is looking like a wild thing so needs a bit of attention!!
crazy.gif
grin.gif


Then this afternoon we are taking the neice off to sj class - is her first on new horse so fingers crossed for her!!
cool.gif
smile.gif


See you all later!

Oh , another question please
grin.gif


I have just emailed the stables company about the block that had 2 stables, a tack room and a hay barn for about £3690 plus VAT and the charge to have it put up. This is what they've emailed in response :

Dear Lucy

The ‘sale’ stable block you refer to is now no longer available. BUT as of next week we are introducing a VALUE RANGE of stables which will be cheaper that the Clipper Range. They will still have a 4’ canopy to the front and guttering. They will not have a window but instead they will have a clear roof sheet. For example to have 1 x 12x 12 Loose Box, 1 x 16 x 12 Corner Unit and 1 x 6’ x 12’ Tack Room to deliver and erect would be: £2,785.00 plus VAT! Which is an amazing price.

If you would like to discuss this further please give me a ring. If you are in a position to collect this from us and self assemble the price becomes £2,228.00 plus VAT.

Don’t forget that VAT is going back up as of 1st January so you have the chance to save on the VAT if you take delivery before Christmas, as long as we have slots available. We will be advertising this range as of next Thursday in Horse and Hounds.

If you would like to find out more details on this range do give me a ring if you would like to discuss further..


What do you think?
I do have 3 barns at home that could be made "safer," for hay storage etc as it is
 
Nice sig DL! I still feel [****] its took paracetamol and atibiotics to get me out of bed and now got to go work for 3 hours. Never mind. cosy night infront of x factor I think! x
 
F - hope all goes well hun. Hugs.

Slinks - jumping sounds fun
smile.gif
. Hope all enjoy!

I - good luck re tractor.

DL - depends on the quality I suppose.
smile.gif


C - have pm'd you
smile.gif
.

T - hope it went well!

KC - happy riding/party
smile.gif


Fl - no turnout at all? 24/7 is one of the two things that keep me at current yard.

SS - don't work too hard!

S - hugs hun.

TBC - hope was good game
grin.gif
.

CH - gentle, long armed(!) hugs hun.

MB - have a hot choccy
smile.gif


As for me, 'tis hubby's Birthday and I am poorly (yes, again again againg again, etc. etc. et al!). Friend thinks was a migraine. Could well be right. I took some Anadin Extra and definatley feel better than I did earlier (it was pretty bad - thought I'd caught Slink's bug
blush.gif
). So, lying in bed instead of being out and about with hubby and girls
frown.gif
. Sent them to his Mother's, at least there he'll be waited on hand and foot
grin.gif
. I offered him a divorce as a pressie as I'm pretty certain he must be sick of me by now, but he said he'd get bored, that "Life would be too predictable.". I think I'll take that to be a good thing
cool.gif
.

Friend is feeding the Dizzy one, if she will be caught - she was a bit of a prat the other day; you have to pretend you're going for her field buddy, then she comes to you lol.
 
afternoon all just a flying visit to say high as running round like a headless chicken as usual. was watching my 2 great nieces and 1 great nephew last night and had to stay over at there's. nephew an wife decieded to come home at 12noon. so i then went muched out horses etc and now getting ready for work and dad is feeding horses at 5ish feeds made outside there doors as they are all in getting wormed at moment so grounded for 1 week so can go out again on wednesday thank god anyhow how are we all doing
 
Well I'm back... could have been worse when I spoke to YO. Not long after it all kicked off big time (not involving me), which upset me more. Have had a headache for hours and can't wait to move tomorrow now.

On a good note, have cleared out a lot of stuff so less to do tomorrow, and madam has had her second clip. Took her whole head out for the first time ever, and she was very good apart from her ears, so twitched her for that bit and then she was fine.

Can I have a stiff drink?
 
ugh..im so bored and cold
frown.gif

been out doing some trailer practice
crazy.gif

i guess i should go get stables ready for later when we get back from party thing.
smirk.gif
 
Hi Everyone,

Just back from the yard, been there all day so I smell like a muck heap
blush.gif
I got roped in to doing 2 other stables today so was up there a lot longer then I wanted to be. I'm the only one who makes up feeds (for 7 horses
crazy.gif
), sweeps the yard etc so it takes forever
mad.gif
It really feels like I work 7 days a week at the moment but I guess that's what happens when you keep your horses at where you work
frown.gif


Besides all that I had a lovely ride on Charlie, went exploring in the forest a bit and made some jumps along the way. Somehow I avoided getting wet
grin.gif


Spent a bit of time with Pixie as she has been a bit abandoned lately, she has grown sooooo much
shocked.gif


Will post some piccys later
smile.gif
but for now I'm off to take the dog for a run and will then be having a much needed bath!

Will catch up on what you have all been up to later!
 
also trying to decide whether to go sj comp tomorrow, not been anywhere since i fell off due to bad back, but i think weather is going to be bit horrid
frown.gif
 
Share horses have moved to their new yard and so dissapointed I couldnt be there - damm work! Still feel grotty though. Mrs M think a virus is going round - you coughing and headachy?
 
Afternoon all!!
cool.gif
smile.gif


Well it has been a lovely day here!
cool.gif
I rode the BGL this morning and suffice to say there was no lack of impulsion!!
blush.gif
Anyway we did about 45 mins in the school and he concentrated despite the YO washing out his sheep trailer with power washer, the hunt in the distance and my sister moving the lorry!!
crazy.gif
All in all he was a very good boy - and I was brave and kept my legs on when he was having a moment and managed to ride him through it!! We are now entered for the Prelim 7 class next week - EEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKK!!
shocked.gif
shocked.gif
shocked.gif


Then went to sj with neices and sister. Molly was a star and really chilled for neice - she did 2 classes and got 2 2nds!!
grin.gif
grin.gif
so really pleased as its been a while since neice did a competiton and its her first time on new horse so a good result all round!!
grin.gif


Have got some piccies of the jumping - will try and up load now.
cool.gif
smile.gif
 
I bought some jelly cherry sweets and have nearly scoffed the lot .
I also must remember to drop off a big bottle of pop in the field shed i worked up a real thisrt doing bugsy,s stable today and the water in the hose was rank i don,t think i left it running long enough.
 
Ok here are a few piccies of neice on Molly - this was the first round she did the next class was bigger but only got piccies of the first round!! It was a good day to go as her first class on her as it wasn't to busy so she didn't have time to get nervous!!
