Sweet FA....Tuesday!!

[tikino]

hi guys how are you doing today had quite abusy day today and at uni then done the horses. i took some video of toby being lunged tonight do you guys mind giving me your opinions onhis soundness

 

[Flibble]

Picture this:

1 indoor arena with walls so you can see chinks of light and people moving but not what is making all the noise.

1 Polish farmworker Pavel – can drive tractors JCB but “Sorry Myyy EEnglish Not Gud!”

1 Maltese Carpenter/Joiner odd job man VERY VERY LOUD INDEED NOI VOLUME CONTROL

1 Ageing parent of YO in his 70’s.

So these three gents were just outside the longside of the indoor school with a Tractor a JCB and a Mobile home. They were installing said Mobile Home very badly they had the centre wheels bedded in soft mud (I know where can you find mud these days) Lois (Maltese) was bellowing Pavel was shouting in a combination of Polish,English and some words I believe he had made up and they were crashing and banging and shouting non-stop.

Drifter was an Angel we worked in the school for half an hour with no probs. When we had finished I untacked him and took him out on a headcollar to look at the Labyrinth of big bale haylage they had moved to install the mobile home and left in an intricate pattern.

We weaved in and out of these stacked quite high and then we met the JCB thingy (it wasn’t a JCB it was yellow and beeped when it reversed) and watched it beep.

We stood and watched as it precariously lifted the mobile home badly to put a block of wood under the wheels and we casually cho,ped grass and clover as we watched as this area has the best of any grass left as it is the 'Picnic Area’ for the boys and girls who live in the mobile homes.

Do you think my anti-spooking training is working or maybe he is ill!!

Feel like having Darcy for a week??

Had began to offer pop-corn at the Side Reins post, But think Shils stopped that one dead in its tracks

Flibble - I'm employing you to do the anti-spooking on daughter's horse!!!

That was fab!!!

tikino - sure, let's have a look at Toby, any excuse to see the horses!!

*whispers* ellie wasn't in the background was she?!!!

 

[tikino]

ok so here goes toby on the lunge

 

[tikino]

will get some pictures of her 2mrw as she is getting drawn 2mrw for her passport and breed papers

 

[Pony_Puzz]

Doubt that anti spook work would go down well with my mare.. she'd just look and poo herself senseless. As well as wondering what the hell I was doing to her! Right I'm off to yonk f_s's pc to print out this work, I promise not to break it

 

[f_s_]

P-P wait!!!!! I'm watching Toby!!

You'll have to wait a minute!!!

 

[ldlp111]

hi guys

just made our first attempt at cider

some of those comments how rude are some people!!!

poor wimble was it? lovely looking horse and what a fantastic day for her, shame people have to judge and criticise...jealous me thinks

 

[ForeverBroke_]

I've been wandering around my garden for the past ten minutes desperatley trying to find my beloved phone!!

I can hear it ringing but I cant see the screen flashing or anything and then I start to get the heebie jeebies and have to run back in!! The dew will kill it in the morning

My gardens an old section of an orchard and about an acre and I cant wander around there like flippin' Florence all night!!

 

[f_s_]

You need one of those hearing dogs!!! The ones that bring you the phone when it rings!!!

I'd love one of those, it would be great!!!

The JRT's just don't get it!!

 

[ForeverBroke_]

My dog came out with me to keep the creepy foxes at bay, but he served no help whatsoever!

 

[f_s_]

How can foxes be creepy D_L? They run away from you!!!!!

It's the gorilla in the tree you need to be worried about!!!

maybe you need the gorilla to help you, or F_S could send you george

 

[ForeverBroke_]

Oh I know

I do actually like Foxes, but them barking gives me the heebie jeebies especially after the whole suitcase thing! Keep managing to scare myself saying "You can never be sure..."

Masicist! Well, sort of...

 

[f_s_]

I'm thinking of getting two feral cats to live in my barn!! (sorry changing the subject here!!

)

Just wondered if anyone knew what to do when they first arrive, do I have to keep them in somewhere and feed them for a few days until they get used to their new surroundings??

 

[f_s_]

Tikino - he doesn't look too bad, a bit stiff perhaps. Don't know what work you're doing with him at the minute, but that would probably improve with muscle build up.

In the first vid it does seem as though he's dragging his off hind a tiny little bit, but nothing really bad

Idlp - Yeah!!! Cider to add t the list of drinks for the sweet FA crew!!!!

 

[tikino]

thanks f-s he is def worse on his near hind. he has been hacking to build up his fitness bvut just doesn't look or feel sound. i may be getting a bit paranoid as well

 

[tikino]

 

[f_s_]

I think he looks better as he's worked. In the last video, he's working quite well.

Do you think it's arthritis? Or something else, a bit further up?
Just a suggestion, but it's not in his stifle is it?

I wouldn't worry too much, I'm sure you'll get to the bottom of it and Toby will be fine

 

[sea_view]

Hey all, just in - what a night - Ali is not too well

Ended out late for PC and all ran late all night - seems a bit better tonight just not himself - I hate it when he is not well, now that he is getting on I worry so much.

How are things today?

 

[f_s_]

Hi S_V

What's the matter with Ali??

Hope he is ok

 

[ForeverBroke_]

Wuh-oh, Wimbles post is starting up again...

 

[ldlp111]

im back

just found pics of last ht i done http://images.jamespyne.co.uk/?Action=_VC&id=25924850&ppwd=pc1746mb
cant believe it was this year done it! cant find my brushing boots

 

[sea_view]

He seems to hae a sore tummy. He did lots of watery poops, not the runs but watery poops with water after, just not happy, pulled his bed down, took his temp but it was fine and have been keeping an eye on him and he seems to have settled so not sure if it was just a bout of watery grass he had eatem or if its just cause it was a yucky day and he wanted in?

 

[ForeverBroke_]

Sort of tempted to put that they ought to change the title of the post to Southwell Slanging Match, but feel it would be a bit childish

 

[f_s_]

Glad that he's picked up a bit, hope that he is alright soon.

Saw that that post was starting up again, but just can't be bothered to reply to that any more. Feel they should let it rest as I feel very sorry for Wimbles, after all, it's her they are discussing, and it's just not right!!

 

[sea_view]

The same one - surely not - steer clear!

 

[ForeverBroke_]

The very same one

 

[Pony_Puzz]

I noticed it kicked up again, have to stop the naughty fingers from going at it.. I do agree with some parts of the new posts though..

Diggin' a hole to china the saying goes and thats what is happening

Anyway I hope he gets better S_V! I'll go fully read your posts I sort of zoomed here to say that post started but got beaten..
