Sweet FA...SATURDAY!

[Slinkyunicorn]

Yup its VV - I am indeed close by!!

 

[beckieswann]

nice piccies - well done

self indulgent... but we jumped 50cm today

I am so incredibly happy - Ted has turned around. We happily cantered over poles and then built the jumps up slowly... thought it best to leave it on a good note! But I am so so happy considering when he came to me in June he couldn't go over a pole without spooking resulting in spinning round/napping and rearing.

Maybe we will make BE one day. So so happy!!

Looking forward to the photos HC!

How's the trailer practising going idlp? I plan to do mine at some point next year... eeeek!

mmmhmmm feeling the need for a drink! Maybe not a stiff one though...

Evening all , brr tis cold out there!

Didn't ride tonight as Darcy's unsound

No heat or anything so I'm assuming he's pulled something charging around with West

Turns out 17.2hh's make good buddies...

Still undecided about the stables, if I want them I'll have to start planning permission/ concreting / ordering etc now really

Slinks - great photos

Some of those jumps look they'd give Darcy a heart attack as far as fillers go!

 

[MrsMozart]

I need sympathy!

Soooooooooooo bored of being ill

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

DL Molly was an absolute star!!

Apart from checking herself out in the mirrors when she came into the school she wasn't bothered about a thing - just tootled around and did her job. Neice v pleased and trying to decide whether to do Trailblazers jumping next weekend or Oli Townened Eventer Challenge.

I am sticking to dressage

- if I manage to get there and get on board I will consider it an achievement!!

There was a horse there today doing the introductory show dressage - was a Prelim test and the poor girl was having a shocking time - horse going sideways etc, left the ring through the boards at one point and was doing it all in canter - just different speeds!!

 

[MrsMozart]

Yay for the jumping Slinks

.

 

[ForeverBroke_]

Ooh dear!

Will be interesting to see what score she got

I just got a phone call from the yard asking whether they can take my rent out via direct debit

Which is fine , I'm just wondering whether it's a bit of a moan because I've always paid my rent in 2 monthly blocks..meaning that by the end I'm one month behind but I've done that for nearly 2 years now and no ones complained.. hm, oh well. Makes my payment book tidier

Ill give you sympathy - im fed up too. This even like a proper cold just headachey and coughy!

Although I do have for me tea breaded mushrooms, cheese and bacon potatoe skins and GU chocolate cheesecakes!!

 

[MrsMozart]

Hugs CallyH. It is so boring and no fun and gets in the way of life far too much!

Hi all,
I've had a good day, Roo had a full clip done, half way through the first side and the blades stopped working, so we had to do a quick drive to tack shop to buy new ones.
I rode tonight, and Neil came down, he started teaching me, and within seconds Roo was working better, he's a fab teacher!
She wouldn't go into canter so I picked up a twig from the floor, and then she just ran haha. So we went back to walk, got the nice walk back and then stopped.
I'm going to a bonfire tonight

Hope you feel better soon MrsM

Nickie

 

[MrsMozart]

[Slinkyunicorn]

O I'll have some marshmallows thanks DL!!

 

[3Beasties]

Fi - How did it go telling the YO? Did she understand why you were leaving? Hope the move goes will tomorrow, I think you are doing the right thing!

Scotsmare - How were the youngsters? Did you manage to get any pictures?

Clipclop - Hope you had a great day with your Hubby and kids, PJ days are great

Flibble - Is your horse on DIY Livery? Not sure I would be able to find the time to keep mine happy if they were in 24/7

Does your horse cope OK?

Idlp - GO SJ'ing

and take piccys!

DL - Stables sound like a good offer! Are you putting them up at home? Bet you can't wait!

Cally & Mrs M - Hope you both feel better soon

Have some virtual hugs

Slinky - Piccy's are great. Molly looks lovely

How long have they owned her for?

Trus - Glad your lesson went well

Piccy's coming up shortly!

RG - We need piccy's of Roo's clip

Right who wants a drink, got beer, wine or Gin

 

[CalllyH]

Marshmallows please! and just a hot chocolate with baileys tonight I think for me!

 

[RubysGold]

H_C: Will get a photo tomorrow morning before I turn her out

You know what I love about Roo? (Apart from everything), the fact that I can give her a full clip, and she still doesn't get naughty when I ride her

 

[ForeverBroke_]

*Hands around big bag of flumps*

sorry - they can't be beaten !

And HC - Yep, at home

I've had a paddock sitting at home since not last spring, the spring before

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

O thankies for the flumps DL!!

HC - a gin would be lovely thankies!!

We have only had Molly on loan for just over a month! For the first 3 weeks her owner was still doing a couple of team chases so we have only had her doing stuff for my neice for about a fortnight. She is lovely, has been there and got the saddlecloth!! She was in the National Team for the Tetrathlon with Pony Club - she has sj in the past and is a demon X Country.

Evening everyone!!

Just in, will grab something to eat and catch up, then back in a minute

 

[CalllyH]

I love the name Molly too!

 

[RubysGold]

Just been looking through my photos, and found these

Thought I would share.
This dog (Megan) is VERY insecure, she's the worst state we've ever got a rescue in. Took nearly a year owning her to get her to relax like this

She is also fear agressive, and after about 18 months we have finally managed to introduce her to a dog that isn't ours

And a picture of 6 of my 10 collies

Nickie

 

[ForeverBroke_]

COLLIEEEEEEEES!!

They're a great breed aren't they?

I'll upload photos of mine in a little bit

 

[RubysGold]

Glad you like, my house is full of them, I have so many pics of them on this laptop too

 

[sea_view]

Hey gang, how are you all? I've had a poop day - worst lesson ever, not a good riding day at all

 

[ForeverBroke_]

Sorry, over-load / over-sized amount of pictures coming up...again!

photobucket has never had so much use.

Oh, and he's not this fat

Vet said so - he's just very, very hairy

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

Hi S_V!!

What went wrong? were you doing stressage?

 

[ForeverBroke_]

Hiya SV - what happened?

 

[f_s_]

I'm loving the photos tonight!!!

Great pictures Slinky, looks a fab partnership!!

Those collies are brilliant too RG

S_V, are you ok?

CallyH and Mrs M - hope you feel better soon

 

[RubysGold]

He's Gorgeous!

Male collies tend to look fat. They are big and furry, unfortunately I have all bitches except 2, so they are all small. One is a weedy little dog because he wasn't brought up well and the other is a typical big border collie

I'd post pics of all mine, but I have 10 so would take a while lol
