I'm the neighbour, just PM PF the likeness is remarkable and the prices reasonable!

The 2nd from left is an event mare, by Fleetwater Opposition out of a TB mare by Sykes, she a bit of an ugly duckling but has blossomed recently.

Clearly not an ugly duckling!
That Opposition has some nice looking youngstock!

Possibly, in time and with luck, but realistically you should consider finding her grass livery and paying it yourself. Do NOT sell her on; you will have no control over what happens to her once she gets sold.

dont worry, she is not going to be sold. i will never let anyone take advantage of her good nature. thanks for the answer :)

Personally I'm all in favour of chucking rotten tomatoes at them.

If you make posts that are completely idiotic, and someone dares to tell you that you are being completely idiotic, please do not run screaming to "authorities" making wild unfounded accusations of bullying. Learn from it. If you cannot communicate on a mature level with more mature people, please retire to a place (Ether, or RL, I care not) where you can communicate on a level with likeminded children your own age.

Oh how I agree with groom42, I do get thoroughly sick of hearing people saying they are being bullied, because adults tell them the truth about their childish ideas. I also get rather fed up of teenage children 'speaking' to adults in rude and insulting terms, because the adult has had the temerity to suggest that teenagers do not have all the knowledge in the world!

Can somebody please tell **************** their communication skills are second to none (i.e. if somebody with none and they entered a contest, they would come second) and that it really, really isn't good to keep their paying customers waiting, driving an hour each way to an appointment, only to tell them they can't be seen today.

grump.

Very well said.

Yep, agree with this as well. Being rude to your elders does not make you an adult and is not 'cute' or 'feisty'. It does not make adults want to help nor does it make them sympathetic to your problems. Being able to answer calmly and objectively to something you don't particularly want to hear, on the other hand, IS a sign of maturity.

You mean that they don't get their feet picked out everyday either? :eek:

Nah, get away with you! Next you'll be telling me that sheep don't get a wash and blow dry every day either. Plain rubbish. Of course they do otherwise how would they stay white and fluffy? After all that's what they have shepherds for.

How do they think horses in the New Forest, on the Welsh hills, Highlands, Shetlands or on the moors cope???

Duh... the pixies and fairies. Since they have been made redundant from fairytales inc (entertaining small children - most have asbos aged 3). They have set up thier own company plaiting wild horses manes and keeping sheep clean. It's working very well and they deserve an innovation award.

Dear PF,
Do you think a law could be passed preventing horses being treated as large versions of My Little Pony toys? :mad:
The owners may not have any dignity but I'm sure the horses do.
Thanks

If they don't have their feet picked out and oiled every day they will rot like soggy potatoes and drop off. Oh, hang on... no... that was the other thread... :p

Well exactly, what is it shepherds would do otherwise? In fact, Old English Sheepdogs have been trained to brush and blow dry, which is how they get their own locks so silky and flowing... Oh, b*ll*cks, that's the other thread as well *sigh*
