SWEET FA.....Tuesday

[ForeverBroke_]

He's training me well! It's really uncomfortable at first because my old habit of gripping with my knee because of the lack of knee rolls doesn't really work on the Keiffer

But, I'm putting it down to the fact that it has to feel a bit wrong to feel right! I had so many bad habits in the Wintec it was untrue so s'all good. The seats a bit slippery though!

good evening all i shall be disapearing in a moment to kick out the youth club from the community center, have also got to pop to shop as i,m nearly out of ingredients for a roll up fag. Then i shall pop back here, whoever it was with choccy pud don,t worry about my spoon i,ll bring my own ladle sized one.

 

[ForeverBroke_]

Oooh ladle!! Now there's an idea

 

[The_snoopster]

Yes a ladle helps with portion control i find i get a bigger portion hehehehe

 

[f_s_]

Snoopy - I know the feeling, stopped at the shop on the way home, praying car would start again!!!

DL - You need some sticky bum breeches!!!

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

Chocolate pudding - yummy!!

I've got my own spoon!!

DL you need to come to Spain with me - that should sort your position out!!

HC - we need a full report on your boots!!

 

[MrsMozart]

No time to read as should be working

Had a day of sorting stuff at the yard. When will it all be done?! The YO, who is very nice, wanted the feed bins moved, so trying to life those was fun. Had some help up the steps, but then getting them across and up the steps at the other side was ouchy and kn*ckering. Dizz and LL have changed stables, and LL will be moving again at the weekend into the barn with the rest of the Gang. Nice YO has let us use LL's 'old' stable as a storge room

. Great fun sweeping out and then moving the rubber mats out lol. I hate rubber mats!

On the plus side, I did actually manage to lunge the Dizzy one!

In a proper school

.

 

[Ellies_mum2]

Well folks a slight change to my plans for this evening. I'm still playing darts but not walking there after all. Mate has decided the battery on her car could do with a bit of a charge so we are driving

Did I hear someone mention chocolate pudding? I have a spoon if I've time to grab a quick mouthful?

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

Well done MrsM!

How did Dizzy like being back in work?

 

[ForeverBroke_]

Ohh not long before you can settle MrsM!

How did Dizz find lunging?

Woops, Slinky beat me

 

[CalllyH]

Evening all - how are we? I have no exciting news - just about to settle down to do essay for the night! Have had 2 horse free days and starting to miss the girls!

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

Caz - what are you studying?

lol, I think she was in shock

. Motorbiked round me, but as it was a chill out session and I didn't have very long, it was fine

. Was just so amazing to have a bit of time with her. The move took the entire weekend, of which I was ill all of Saturday - I have to take my hat off to Friend for driving the lorry! Usually I do the driving and she falls asleep and we're both happy lol, but she stepped up and did it, through some tight gaps as well. Flipping good job

.

Dizz is also less stressed in her new 'new' stable

. Still weaves when she sees me, but I think that's because 'I' equal food/field/out and about: I'm working on de-sensitizing her so she can see me without thinking I'm going To Do Something With/For Her

.

I have to say that all the horses seem to have settled well, and the YO and her daughter could not have been more welcoming and accommodating

.

Chocolate pudding EM2? I'm up for some of that

Eidted 'cos I'm an illiterate plank

[ForeverBroke_]

Sounds like an ideal place MrsM as far as school goes and with it being winter

Plus the barn set up.

We can look forward to more photos then? How are your daughters finding it?

 

[f_s_]

Well done Mrs M, onwards and upwards now!!!

 

[f_s_]

*Alert* !!! Your country needs Lerts!!!

OH has made double chocolate chip muffins, anyone like one???

I think he should have a touch of man flu more often!!!

 

[beckieswann]

no more selling heating oil for me in 2 weeks - whoop! Just diesel.... fun fun fun!

Anyway, Ted was absolutely awesome! I wrapped a pole in tin foil and turned the floodlights on full power! When Ted first came into the school he was snorting and arching his neck... however after doing some ground exercises with him he soon settled and I could unclip him and he would follow me around everywhere...

... we slowly edged closer and closer to the pole but each time he would be on the opposite side of me. eventually we were circling around the pole, edging closer and closer until he was comfortable! I then walked upto it and asked him to stand infront of the pole and touch it with his nose - he did! When I asked him to walk over it for the first time, he jumped about 3 foot in the air! But we continued until he was confident, and then I lunged him over it and he thought it was a great game

so so proud of my pony!!

So are you doing that part time whilst working?

 

[f_s_]

Well done T !!!

It's so nice when they trust you enough with a scary object that they feel brave enough to walk up to it!!

 

[ForeverBroke_]

Has he coughed/ sneezed/ spluttered over any of them ?

Ah well I'll have one, should just boost my immune system

Pleaaaaaaaaaase

 

[MrsMozart]

DL - daughters are enjoying ta, even the non-horsey one

. Will do some piccies soon so you can see the neds progession

. All neds looked in shock to see a school today lol. Friend's daughter rode her pony really well

. I can see confidence levels rising

.

f_s - indeed! In so many ways I hope

. There are a lot of possibilities and lots of potential... basically if we don't get somewhere now, then we're never going to and we'll move to a field

.

Yay! Choc chip muffins and choc pudding

.

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

*puts up hand and waves*

Me please f_s!!

Kettles on so I'll make cuppas to go with them!!

T- yey for Ted!!

 

[RubysGold]

Sounds like you had a successful attempt at getting Ted accustomed to shiny things

Ted sounds like a very good boy

 

[ForeverBroke_]

definitely, i am so so proud of him! I hope it makes him a lot more confident jumping!

 

[f_s_]

I made sure he didn't sneeze or cough on them DL, after all, I don't want his germs!!!

Right, catch everyone, chocolate muffins all round!!!

 

[beckieswann]

Thanks Slinky! And thanks Pixxie...

we'll see if it's made a difference when I ride him tomorrow over poles with the floodlights on - usually we have to spend half an hour walking over them to get him accustomed!

 

[MrsMozart]

Ta

 

[ForeverBroke_]

I had a small argument with Darcy over some poles yesterday. Never did get him over them!

But then again I wasn't really telling him to that much, I gave up easily
