Hello everyone Decided to make this my first 'proper' thread here even though I've been a lurker for a bit. Please don't bite! Thought I'd share with you "my" coloureds. They're technically my godmother's but she doesn't have the time to ride them all and can never get rid of me during Uni holidays! I am also known as the 'endless headcollar collector'. Even though I've never had my own (have shared/loaned in the past) I seem to have a rather large and ever-expanding collection of headcollars, as you will see from the following photos!
Rosie is a 25yr + piebald cob who is now retired, but before her retirement she enjoyed a couple of years overtaking Arabs at fun rides and generally learning how to hippo-shuffle/scramble (attempted jump) over various obstacles on fun rides. She's a lovely girl and it's a shame she didn't come to us 15 years earlier!
Once it was discovered that Rosie's body just wasn't up to riding any more, she was put out in a field in the village with all the other older mares. Think she's loving it but when I visit I do get the feeling she misses hooning about and seeing the world a bit.
No CC on the photos of Rosie please, she's getting on a bit but does her best!
Cue the arrival of many unsuitable horses on loan to fill the Rosie-shaped gap...one who started humping Rosie and her friend....one who jumped out of the field onto the yard, and another one who stayed for less than a week.
Then we heard about Annie. She's a 5 year old suspected trotter X TB X something else (suggestions welcome, no one is sure!) and has a heart of gold. She's definitely got fire in her belly but is lovely with it. She hasn't been in an arena in her whole life as of yet but that is soon to change in the next couple of months. I think she enjoys hacking though, she's so nosy.
Sorry for the photo overload; didn't realise how snap-happy I was! Just looking for thoughts on Annie's colouring (maybe a bit of showing) and generally how she's put together. Thanks in advance!
