Tell me not to!

[Michen]

What's wrong with a bit of greed? I'd have had a Connie in a heartbeat but they're so expensive at the moment.

It would be such a waste of money, I want to buy a proper young one and pop it in a field on youngstock livery so I can watch it grow up from afar but still spend circa £300 a month for the pleasure of patting it on the neck, not like I have my hands full enough with the other two Krays, so around £9k before I even have it backed.

Complete.waste.of.money.

Really want one.

Looking forward to pics of your Newbie!

Here he is! Apologies again for hi jacking the thread, ycbm.

 

[TPO]

He's lovely Catembi. I really, really like him.

 

[splashgirl45]

he looks smart, sorry ycbm i am encouraging catembi to hijack your thread, but do love seeing peoples horses as miss having one myself...

 

[ycbm]

Here he is! Apologies again for hi jacking the thread, ycbm.

Room for everyone!

I hope you have lots of fun with yours.

You could ask your vet about putting acyclovir on that suspicious mark. As far as I know, it has no reputation for aggravating sarcoids but there is some evidence it can resolve them when they are only skin deep.

 

[Lurfy]

Oh Catembi I love him, he looks really nice.

 

[LadyGascoyne]

Very exciting ycbm! And yours looks lovely catembi.

I have found two I liked, organised viewings, got hopelessly overexcited and stalking every relative that have ever had (the horses, not the sellers - I’m not that weird!) and on both occasions the seller has changed their minds just before the viewing.

The second one canceled today. I was due to see her tomorrow.

 

[ycbm]

I'm trying not to get to excited for the same reason, LG. He's not mine until he's inside my van. We had a fun run around multiple cash points with multiple cards this evening and funds are now in place
.

 

[DabDab]

Congrats catembi! He has a lovely kind eye. You really deserve a horse you can enjoy after everything x

That's frustrating LG, hope something falls in your lap soon.

I used sudocrem with turmeric mixed in for a couple of weeks on a flat verrucous sarcoid on Beau’s axilla. I got the vet to check, she had been worried about it. She told me it had completely gone. I was kind of sceptical, having had Liverpool cream to remove a prominent one years ago. Can’t harm, can it?

 

[Surbie]

Here he is! Apologies again for hi jacking the thread, ycbm.

He looks fabulous!! I love a ginger.Fingers crossed it's not a sarcoid.

Looking forward to pics YCBM - hurrah for horse #3!

There is a possibility they can be irritated into growing. If I'm not mistaken that's also very close to an eye, so you wouldn't want him rubbing turmeric into it by accident ?

I got rid of one that was very similar on a previous horse's face, but before it gave in it looked like this



It took 5 attempts to kill it and was very worrying for a while, but I finally got this end result of just a small patch of missing hair, and it stayed that way for the next 2 years until I sold him and lost touch.




I wouldn't put anything in it that might aggravate it unless you're prepared to see it through until its gone, with whatever scar that leaves. Might be best to watch and see, unless the vet agrees with acyclovir.

The horse is also young and pretty lean and it might just disappear of its own accord as it's strength and immune system kick in. ? But I would bung him on Sarcex for 6 months, that won't hurt and isn't hugely expensive.

Congratulations! Fingers crossed it never develops!

 

[Mule]

Here he is! Apologies again for hi jacking the thread, ycbm.

He's lovely ?

 

[Mule]

Technically not bought yet, funds are due after he loads at Preston on Sunday after travelling down from Carlisle.

I don't want to jinx it by sharing too much, I haven't even seen him, he may be a complete donkey in the flesh ?!
.

I can't believe I missed this thread. You're getting a new horse! I can't wait for photos

 

[ycbm]

Tomorrow. Patience. ?

 

[dogatemysalad]

What time ycbm ? Waiting impatiently for photos and description ....it was inevitable that once you thought about a third horse, it was going to happen. Your summer is going to be such fun.
Massive congratulations to Catembi too.

 

[ycbm]

We should be home at 4pm tomorrow.

I know I'm nuts but I just want some options. To have three, to have a spare if one of the others needs time off, to sell Deza if she's too much work to keep slim, to sell her if I can't get used to her level of sensitivity.

And also because I've had a payout from a little pension fund I didn't know existed and I just want something new, exciting and even potentially disruptive in life.

 

[ycbm]

A teaser .... I've cropped this off a bigger picture, hence the quality. No, he isn't a mule whatever those ears suggest ?. I've never known a horse with a tiny mouth and big ears have a nasty bone in their body, so fingers crossed I haven't jinxed everything now. He's not special, but there is something about him that really caught my attention. (Don't bother looking, you won't find his advert from this picture, it was taken just for me.)

 

[luckyoldme]

What the flip?
I left you on your own for a week and you are off gallivanting with an empty horse box?
Bad lass!

 

[Roxylola]

I read an anecdote once (maybe here)
Someone working in for an event, struck up conversation with another rider after formalities (asking the horses name - clumpers) they commented on his lovely big ears. The other rider said something like my mother bred him and she likes big ears...
They were interrupted by a security guard, it was Princess Anne and Columbus! So the ears have the royal seal of approval

 

[ycbm]

Even in my avatar of that quality and size you can see how big Tetley's ears were!

[CanteringCarrot]

Oh I love his head! It would also be ok if he is a mule. I quite like mules

I've been wanting another to start/bring on and/or to get something less sensitive/hot/mental/insane. When my gelding is good, he's fantastic, when he's mental, I spend a good amount of time convincing him he's not on fire. There is no fire.

But with livery prices and all, it's just not possible. Never mind another potential international move in the next year or so.

So, I live vicariously

 

[LadyGascoyne]

I love his head! Cant wait to see the rest. I don’t suppose you’d give us a hint on the breeding?

This is my theory too, on getting another. Back up plans and options. If Milagra does have to go suddenly - and that could be either because her health deteriorates or owner decides she wants her back - I want to ensure Mim has a friend that she knows and trusts.

I am also beginning to get to the point where I want to get back to having some lessons, and riding a bit more. Not sure I’ll compete for another few years but, all things being well, I’ll be in a slightly different job in a few weeks, which will allow me to have a little more balance in my life.

 

[J&S]

That looks like a good old fashioned head YCBM!

 

[Cinnamontoast]

Properly pretty head. Love the colouring.

 

[Kipper's Dick]

I love his head, too.
More photos soon, please!

 

[KEK]

Joining with everyone else in waiting impatiently! Looks gorgeous so far..

 

[IrishMilo]

He’s gorgeous! Bit Roman-nosey which I love on a horse. Can’t wait for more updates.

 

[poiuytrewq]

Are you mad!
very much looking forward to catching up with this thread after work later!
