[f_s_]

Nooooo!!!! don't have the fried onions!!!!

Morning everyone!!

Well it's

here too, but, the weather forecast is not good for the next few days!!!!

Off to sort out the horses in a min, and get a few necessary jobs done!!!

Then I suppose I'll have to go to the feed merchants, and

the house!!!!

The worst job!!!

See you all later, computer says "yes" this morning!!!! Does it die later when it's had too much drink??!!!!!

 

[ldlp111]

morning guys

weather started off with spots of rain, so decided to go garden centre to see what plants youcan grow this year.

rode when i got back, hmm mayb a mistake coz met this horse out riding which wound her right up, was halfway round and from there onwards it was either gig jog or trot or a very fast with the head motion of a nodding dog on speed!!!

also this guy was chasing me down road turns out he wants horse manure, told him he could have it for free altho donations were welcome.

then gave hectors head a wash in diluted hibiscrub as hes been rubbing it like mad at mo.
then put him in his new prison, altho during process of deciding where to put it forgot to make sure he had shade!!! altho dont know how long he'll be in there as my haysoaking barrel seems to of developed a leak??

and now on hho instead of doing accounts tut tut!

oh and deciding where to hang rosettes getting too many for original position.

have a good day guys

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

Eeeeekkkkkk

!!!! Saddler has just been - the BGL's gp saddle fits but guess what his stressage doesn't - so beans on toast for the rest of the month for me......

Off to work out how to put saddle on ebay......

 

[samstar]

been every where and done everything

Decided to have cheese roasties and sausages, now deciding whether to house clean or sit on here

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

Sit on here!!

I want to moan about my expensive day - and I didn't even leave home!!

Chocolate buttons or crunchie bar with your cuppa??

 

[samstar]

come on then moan to me while I eat my crunchie or was it buttons I asked for

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

You can have Buttons - they are giant ones

!! I 've had the crunchie!!

Well saddler came out today - all I wanted was my saddles checked for the BGL and reflocking if needed - my neice was getting a new saddle for her pony as his old one was pants - so its finally my turn and the old GP I have for him (which I thought would be the one that would need work) is absolutely fine and needs no work - bought that off a friend so am secretly pleased

- although I don't suppose she would be to chuffed to find out that her 'english leather' saddle is actually made in Argentina

!! Next came his stressage saddle - doesn't bloody fit at all as it is too wide and can't be reflocked either as it need to much flocking for it too fit. So I then end up trying and buying a new saddle

!! Arrrrrrgggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh!

!! But it would also explain some of the issues we have had around canter as he has such big shoulders it was stopping him from moving freely - the new saddles were a huge improvement as he really strode around the school with nice big strides!! So now not only am I skint but I also feel guilty for not getting the saddle checked sooner......

 

[samstar]

Know how you feel there, I desperatley need to buy a new saddle for star but she is such an odd shape I'm finding it hard, so we are stuck with the one I use for now even though it does bob up slightly at the back, but she has free movement in it and it is not rubbing her anywhere.
Good side is yours is feeling alot more comfortable in it, so thats something.
Shame though you gotta go from pizza to beans

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

Bah

!! pesky neds!!

There is always something......of course while I'm on beans they will still be eating their usual 5 star, all singing and dancing feeds.......

Still should help my diet......

 

[samstar]

How you doing on that are you getting near your goal weight yet

I'm now under 10 stone which is the first in over 15 years

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

GO AWAY!!!

10 stone

.....the last time I was 10 stone I was 14 and swimming/training for at least 4 hours a day

!! I'll never see 10 stone again

.............I weigh myself on a friday - its going ok but I think its still about a stone and half to go

- when I can do up my long boots over my breeches I will know I am nearly there!! That and my favorite jeans - when I can get them on and do them up!!

 

[samstar]

BUT don't forget I'm a dwarf

I still look huge and none of it has shifted from my buddies

 

[sea_view]

Hey all just a quick whizz in and out to say off to PC club - catch u when I'm back.

Last night by the time I got in from work, ate dinner, babysat little niece, did horses then school stuff you were all way in bed when I signed onto FA so soz I missed y'all!.

Hope all's good!

 

[samstar]

Sure we will be here later for you

 

[miss_c]

Hello all!

Well I went to the Pantheon, the forum and the Colisseum this morning/early afternoon.

We've booked train tickets to go down to Pompeii tomorrow. It's absolutely boiling hot here and I've already showered twice today, and no doubt will do so again before bed. Didn't sleep well last night.

Off soonish for dinner and a visit to the Trevi Fountain & Spanish steps, also have to have my daily dose of icecream.

 

[tikino]

hi guys just a we quicky to say hi. ellie seems to be on the mend and no longer apears to be lame however my little welshie is now in as he is lame with nothing obvisouly wrong. toby doing ok with his feed being uped and pink powder. mum doing better and friend having a crap day as it all hit home as she got letter in from beatson with her chemo dates. all in all everything going ok som now i need to go to work so see you at 10ish if you are still aroung then

 

[f_s_]

OMG!!!! I cleaned out the tack room!!!

Now I'm having a sit down, as I'm sweating about the amount of things I have, I have thrown out, I will never use, but will keep anyway, just in case!!!

So Slinky, I really do sympathise! It a flipping nightmare will saddles. I have two I don't use at all, so I'm going to try ebay too!!!

You can always eat tomato sandwiches if it gets really bad!!! That's what I'll be surviving on for the next year!!!

Samstar - what's all this about a

man!!!

I'm still soooo jealous of the Italy holiday!!!

and Pompeii is fantastic, but large, so take good walking shoes and a hat!!!

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

See you later S_V and tikino!!

S_V - i wondered where you had got to yesterday - figured the kidlets had worn you out!!

tikino - good news and bad news for you then - glad Ellie is better and your mum and friend are home. The chemo is the hard part - tell her to talk to the support groups etc.

We have just had a cracking storm here!! but it has blown over now so I'll be able to have my lesson after all!!

 

[samstar]

Doesn't anyone know Sean Ellis the man who lived with his wolves, he had a documentary about it on sky.
His wolves live opposite valley to our horses so sometimes when its peacefull you can hear them calling along with the monkeys.
Can I ask what saddles you have?


My tack is sat next to me in front room, keep looking at them as they do need a really good clean

 

[tikino]

thanks silky mum is still in hospital but hopefully getting home end of week begining of next

 

[f_s_]

I've a brand new brown Wintec VSD 17" that's been used about 12 times!! and is in excellent condition

I Know it's not worth a fortune but it's just sitting doing nothing!!!) I also have a very old leather GP saddle, was given to me, so would be ideal for someone breaking a horse, as it's not in great condition! I also have a black Throwogood (sp) saddle which was the big mare's, good condition, but again, would suit a high withered horse!

Of the three the wintec is the best, all the ones we use now are leather, so this one was bought just until horse had muscled up enough to have a "proper" saddle fitted!!

tikino - hope your Mum is ok, and the treatment helps

S_V - see you later

 

[f_s_]

Oh and I luuuuvvvv wolves, they fascinate me!!!

 

[Honeypots]
