Sweet FA...SUNDAY!

Looks good to me Pixie!!

On a Secret Santa note it reminds me of my old job too much and used to have an overwhelmingly strong desire to stab people at work when I was trying to work out how much I could afford to spend at Xmas.

Anyhow I am very happy to nose around everyone elses secret santa.
 
looks good pixxie!!

It's fr-fr-freezing out there, and I haven't ridden yet - been at work all morning - other girl was really late which was annoying but nevermind. An I think I've done my back in properly... it hurts to lift - owwww. Going to take some painkillers, go and ride and finish the horses - not looking forward to it!!

Is it going to be cold tonight does anyone know? Ted was shivering when he came in earlier... argh!

Will tell you a story later about one I got done off Charlie later but for now I've got to go shopping, be back later, hopefully with lots of goodies to share
grin.gif


See you all later!
 
Lovely artwork Pixxie! I wish I could draw...

Well we are all moved! Took madam out of her stable and straight into the box to do the 5 minute drive to the new yard. Got there and she went out with the 6 month old and the yearling and it was as if she's always been there. They all sniffed noses, no squealing, and then she started to eat. The yearling kept following her sniffing at her and when she'd had enough she just lifted one leg (didn't kick out). Don't think it could have gone better!

Was sad leaving the old yard, gonna miss a lot of people, but now looking forward! Let's hope it all goes well.
 
oo im so pleased and this sounds like it could be interesting

i await your return

ETS: so glad all went well for you today Fi, know how stressful moving yards can be really had my fingers crossed for you
laugh.gif
 
Here's some pics of Genie in her field at the new yard!

And her CAVERNOUS stable, it used to be a coach house. Not as posh as she's used to, but will keep her dry and warm!

Evening all
smile.gif


Had a um , interesting day
blush.gif
Got my marathon of poo picking done without needing to be re-clicked into place across my spine
crazy.gif
grin.gif


Took Darcy for what was meant to be a calm ride as he's pulled something and thought a gentle walk might help to keep him moving etc. He thought it would be HILARIOUS to leap into canter at various times
smirk.gif
Still - he is now a water baby! Weeks off can do good it'd seem!
grin.gif


Then was standing on the yard, and 2 of our horses came clattering past the yard. Alone. No one had gone to get them..so they'd just jumped the gate
blush.gif
One of the little mares is a complete sh1t . Bargy and very good at just bolting in hand so she luckily got cornered on the muckheap and only tried to leg it off again once while I grabbed the slightly shocked coblet
grin.gif


Turns out someone hadn't shut the gate ..so once they'd decided they'd had enough of being "last," they brought themselves in...

I've got some great presant ideas if I get a particular person, muwha!
grin.gif
cool.gif


Fi- Glad the move went well!
PP - Happy birthday!!
grin.gif

Ldlp111 - Good luck for tomorrow, you'll be fine
Pixxie - that drawings fab !
 
Basically we PM our name and address to slinks who will sort it all out. Then we send a £10 gift (Then p&p) on top address as "From Sweet FA" I think it was - then we all photograph our gifts on the Christmas thread
grin.gif


I think

Finally unpacked all the shopping, now for the goodies

No worries
grin.gif


It was put very poorly..but I hope you get the idea!

We'll also post the answers to a load of questions such as horses size/ people size as pointers, without then having to ask and give the game away
smile.gif


Although if I get the person/s I hope I do, I won't be needing any of them

Although to be fair - the whole field he's in was in uproar today so it had clearly popped him, and he had no idea what to do with himself
grin.gif


Spent hours grooming him :| Our field has been ruined because of the introduction of one horse!! Alright, he's 17.2hh, unworked TB but its the mare that's causing the problems!!

Right, now for my story about Charlie's portrait
tongue.gif
I was having it done by a friend of a friend for my Birthday. The guy came out to take piccys of Charlie, I wanted just a head shot (with neck)so I undone the front of his rug and folded it back to keep him warm (it was cold/he was clipped) so that the pictures could be taken.

Anyway fast forward a few weeks and the picture arrive, the horse looks NOTHING like Charlie, it is so ugly, his head is the wrong shape etc. Not only that but the guy had painted the whole of Charlie and the background. In the picture his rug is folded back and wonky and the rest of the background is awful, he literally painted what was there (bearing in mind we built our own house and at the time our garden looked like a building site :crazy).

Not sure how much was paid for it (as it was a present) and I hate to sound ungrateful but I would pay to have it taken away, it hangs in the little sitting room and to me is just a bad painting of a random horse, it has no resemblance to Charlie at all
