This Forum is responsible for destroying my desire I had to own a horse

[horseluver4eva]

obviously doesn't read the threads where we say what a lovely hack we,
the kisses and love that our horses give us,
the endless laughs and giggles that they give us,
the friends that we make along the way,
the smell of a newly cleaned saddle,
the buzz of putting on a new rug,
the exhilaration of that first gallop over a much loved bridleway,
the sense of achievement when the judge hands you your rosette,
standing looking at your very own horse peacefully grazing in the field,

personally speaking give me my horse over any person any day of the week.

Couldnt agree more!

I can't believe how rude some of you are being considering this thread was clearly a JOKE!! Where did you all leave your sense of humour?!

Slumdog (can't quote as am on phone) but you left the part out where you need to chop a bit off one of the runners of the rocking horse,so that it doesn't rock properly,meaning you can't ride it anyway but still have to just roll in the mud and burn more £20 notes.....

...............whilst being told that it's all your fault for not having matchy matchy runners in the first place.

It is! would therapy work or am I a hopeless case

Yes, I'm so sorry but the only cure is to buy yourself a horse Therapy is pointless, it won't cure you. Blame your mother, it is her fault. She gave you a shot of testosterone in your first three months and combined with some other genetic inheritance, these "male pattern fingers" are a dead cert for horse addiction

Sighs..no use fighting it then.

No use at all. Start looking for a horse and meanwhile get some practice in. Go to a cashpoint and withdraw 500 quid in tenners. Then find a toilet, and flush the notes away one at a time. If you can do that without fainting, then you are 100% ready for your first horse

Love it sounds about right.

Cptrayes.... I am not sure that £500 is going to give a realistic experience ... Unless you mean the OP repeats this weekly.

Disgraceful comment.Clearly you are the sort that gives equestrianism a bad name. EVERYBODY KNOWS you also have to hit yourself repeatedly on the head with the runner

I have the solution to all horse owning problems, a horse that is never sick, sorry, lame, is ridden in a bitless bridle and good on the roads. Watch this video to see the perfect horse given as a christmas present.

[melbiswas]

Not good advice TF; the horse on that video is a grumpy b***er with it's ears flat back, but then the rider is way over the 20% weight ratio........

Good suggestion

Consider yourself having had a lucky escape. No need to thank us.

this!!!

 

[melbiswas]

Seriously now, if you do take the plunge you could end up on this forum a lot more than now.

Is there a Black Lab forum for your husband?

**** I'll be too busy shovelling dung and poulticing abscesses and treating mud fever.. Oh and raiding the ATM machine.

Ah yes .. The Black lab condition

 

[Ancient Hacker]

As others have said, the only cure is to buy a horse.
For mitigation of loss it is suggested you avoid buying a thoroughbred

 

[SatansLittleHelper]

Run OP, save yourself....while you still can Its too late for the rest of us................................

Or you could just man up and join the rest of us weirdo Masochists lol

Bad move linking to that.
Because this video is in the suggestions at the side.

And if this video doesn't make you want to get a horse/pony then you must be made of stone. It should have a health warning on it.

Embarrassed to say it reduces me to tears everytime.

 

[slumdog]

Yep..I cried! Lol!

Ooooh.. I'd have been the happiest little girl in the whole universe if I'd had a pony for Christmas at that age ... Or any age actually

Well thank you all for your interesting and constructive replies. The thread was of course Tongue in cheek. However there is an old saying about many a true word being said in jest.
The forum is of course not putting me off getting my own horse but it is certainly educating me on the myriad of problems small and large which horse owners have to deal with. So seeing as I am destined, due to the relative length of my 1st and 3rd fingers; thank you CPTrayes I will eventually stop fighting it and get my own horse. Eventually.

I've seen a few advertised on Dragon Driving which are apparently never sick sore or sorry and can be ridden by anyone from toddler to granny problem is that these sort all come wrapped up in a hairy coloured packaging but I guess they can be shaved so they look more like a real horse.
