SWEET FA....Thursday

[Slinkyunicorn]

Tell us more!!

14.2hh, good full up type, Chestnut Connemara, bit older than we'd ideally like, he's 12 but really, really lovely, and has a great nature!!

He has mainly been used for dressage ( so daughter in love!!!) but can jump, doesn't rush, and loves CC, again is very good. Hacks out beautifully on his own, and isn't fussed about anything!!!

He's a bit of a delight really!!

Only two problems...I need to negotiate a little bit on the price, if she still loves him after another trial on Monday, and......he's got the most awful stable name!!!!

IMO anyway!!

well come on then tell us, we want to know everything

okay........... you beat me

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

Oooo - he sounds fab!!

Fingers crossed for Monday then and we will expect piccies etc etc

 

[f_s_]

I will try and get some pictures on Monday. I think he is a pony that is known very well locally, so all history can be traced.

I'll let you know how it goes!!

So, what's everyone else been up to then?!!!

Hi guys

F_S Great news about the pony - sounds like a fab type!

I've had a bit of a

day. Had some bad news which has confused pretty much everything

! But, Ill muddle through as ever !!

Oh, and F_S What's the name?!

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

Well I am so pleased with Max!! His introduction to being a farm dog is going really well - I have been doing a little bit more with him everyday - today we have progressed from taking the feeds out to the horses to him hanging around in the field while I poo picked

!! Isn't interested in chasing the horses or anything!! Mind you he did get beaten up by one of the yard cats this morning!!

Next I need to decide what cakes I am going to buy tomorrow....I am thinking the little individual cup cakes from Waitrose.....

 

[f_s_]

Are you alright D_L?

His stable name is............Pumpkin *dies of shame in a corner*

 

[samstar]

ooooooooooooooo you have a waitrose, I'd love to have them near us, they are so much for giving more to the farmers and and growers, and I do find them reasonably priced

DL we are here for you, you do know that don't you

 

[ForeverBroke_]

Oh I'm okay now

. Just got a bit of a shock but going off to speak to someone tomorrow to give me a bit of advice etc as I'm totally lost

Went for a 2 hour ride and blew the cobwebs away so feel a lot better! Found my Myler also gave me some brakes for when Darcy gets a little excited too so I'm thrilled with my new buy .


And Pumpkin!!

Bless ! I can imagine it suits him

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

Awww - Pumpkins not that bad

- he orange after all.....

Soooo I'm thinking Waitrose cupcakes then

- anyone want any particular colour or flavour

?? My treat as its my *whispers - my birthday....*

 

[ForeverBroke_]

Have I missed a post - is it your birthday today?! :

Right, *Clears throat.*

Happy Birthday tooo yooooou..
Happy Birthday Tooo Yoou!!! ...

 

[ForeverBroke_]

Whoops, jumped the gun . Tomorrow , right?

Got a bit excited at the mention of cake

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

Tomorrow - so there will be cake!!!

 

[sea_view]

Hey all, just in from pony viewing - will fill u in in a mo - need to compose myself as I have just heard the Lockerbie bomber has been freed. I lost my friend and her whole family in the bombing, I am so angry. Back in a mo

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

S_V - I can understand how you feel someone I went to school with was on the plane.

 

[f_s_]

S_V, I'm with you on this one, should never have been freed.(((hugs))) to you, a terribly tragic event.

I remember it vividly, as we had to drive through Lockerbie on the way home.

 

[sea_view]

Thanks guys, just brings it all back - she had moved a couple of years earlier and they were all so happy there.

Anyway, need to change the subject.
Pony tonight far more what we are looking for, very nice, friendly, forward but not nuts. BUT pulls into jump last two strides (previous rider liked this) not overly stressed bout that but it chucked its head up regularly which I didn't like - any thoughts?

 

[f_s_]

It's so hard to find one isn't it??

Sounds quite a nice pony, but again, case of letting pony get excited into a jump. How old is it? Do you think you could stop the habit?

See my other post, we actually saw one we liked tonight!!!

Slinky - It's your birthday tomorrow...yippee!!! Party time!!!

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

Hmmm - don't you still have one to see at the weekend? the bay? I would look at some more personally unless they were really taken with it.

 

[sea_view]

Thats how I felt - it is 12. I feel there are plenty more out there if they are willing to look might just take longer. Got the bay and another wee grey on Sat.

F_S I read that this one seemed nice - whats the plan of action?

 

[f_s_]

Going back to try him again on Monday. Then we'll see if he's exactly what she wants. Tonight was a load of questions, good look over, quick ride, bit of a hack, and seeing how he react to stable, traffic, other horses etc!!

Daughter is quite taken, but sensible enough to know that she needs to try him again, and for a lot longer!!

If she really is sure, then we'll have to discuss dirty money I suppose!!!

*cough* - and name change!!!

Agree that you need to keep looking btw, they need to wait to get the right one!

 

[MrsMozart]

Sorry peeps, never seem to have time to do anything any more on here...

Hope dogs and horses and potential new horses and escape artists and policemen are all doing what they should be and all suitably happy and chilled.

I didn't see Dizz this morning

Had to be in Birmingham early and didn't leave there 'till gone nine last night. Living on Red Bull (well, two so far and very, very strong coffee

).

Right. Off to play with some timelines - I promised them by cop today (didn't say whoes version of 'cop'

).

Sweet dreams y'all.

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

Hi and night MrsM!!

We'll be here to catch up with when you have caught up with yourself!!

 

[f_s_]

Hi Mrs M - you're a very busy lady lately!!!

Please take some time to chill, hope Dizzy, LL, and LC are all well!!!

 

[f_s_]

Has anyone heard from Samstar? Did she say what the police have said??

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

She is getting high on wax

!! She said something about cooking dinner and waxing her doors

......I was very confused as thought she was talking about some new bikini wax......

Don't think she said anything about the police though....

 

[sea_view]

LOl! Right I'm looking at ponies again, I'll post ones on like for opinions if thats ok team?

 

[ForeverBroke_]

Right all , I be off.

Having too much time to think about things and getting all muddled

Sleep sounds good , and so be it

Have a good rest of your evening , speak to you soon!!

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

Night DL!!

S_V - crack on!! I like looking at ponies!!
