To all the old timers on here...

How about a report about my 4yo son and round pony at pc mini show ;)

The thing that amazes me most is that this thread hasn't been moved to Club House yet.... c'mon people WHERE are the horse references :D :D

I've been here since 2004 and to be honest I only come on here when I am bored -as with any forum I suppose, it feels like I have seen it all before?
 
Yes exactly and you guys are all here! It is what everyone makes it. Time marches on whether you like it or not. You get more wrinkles, you get more kids, more grandkids appear suddenly out of nowhere and horses change, people get bored and **** off without a word. There's regrets, there's things left unsaid etc. However, it's nice to see familiar names I've grown fond of over the years in this incarnation or another...

Was it you that had the naughty little grey horse?
 
That's OK Fiona but I do hope we will firstly hear about the essential checks. Back, teeth, chiro, saddle and of course the crystal waver. Did you check with the forum whether to travel it in a cotton sheet or a waffle or a thermatex, and most importantly the colour!!!

Did it get micronised linseed and happy clappy nuts? Just how long is is safe to travel to the said event? Am sure someone will provide the info. And if the pony stops or has one down don't forget to get lessons from "the instructor". Go back to basics and walk only for at least 6months....or...get a sharer!!!!!!!
 
This! I always think that HHO (or any forum) is just like a pub, people come and go, depending on what else is going on in their lives.

And as for it not being rocket science; surely it must be obvious to any-one that what used to be New Lounge has been split into at least 4 different boards, so of course Tack Room doesn't move on as fast as NL used to do. Whether that is a good or bad thing may be open to debate..........

Aaaahhhh New Lounge!!! How could we!?!! I forgot too... shame on me. How could I.

I LOVE the pub analogy, always thought it, never said it. Always admired you btw... your mantra has become my family's, well whoever is on horseback or grassback, ah whichever. Love it!
 
Naughty ditchjumper ;)

Of course I did all those things. .. I even bought the pony some grass reins for the occasion, but don't tell enfys or she might smack me ;)

Have you ever had such cold hands, that you thought it would be a good idea to just tuck them into your morag restrainer for a bit of a warmy warm, only to end up with a horrendous morag ice burn type affair?

No?




Just me then.
 
Been on here 10 years now, and I must say I agree with most said above especially regarding the competition room reports. I really miss reading them; they gave me such inspiration!

What?? Morag Cuffting??? It's like a survival skill.

I tried shoving them down the skinny jeans but the disapproving looks at tb testing time said "men only".

"Do horses have hair, or fur? "

Or -

"it gets down to minus 30C here, shall I clip my horse? She lives out by the way"

Actually, I did just clip her this morning, by the time it gets to -30C the hair will have grown back and I won't be riding her anyway ;)

Snorts :) Wonderful :)

I am screwing up the courage to put a video of me on my pony on here, just to see how many things I am doing wrong, and what I should be doing to make my sins right. I can't do it.

Oh Starzaan I miss your stories of wafting morags and your love (??) life.

Enfys, you got it hun. That is just soooo the type of posting HHO is all about!

I mean, what would we do without the sage posts about rug thickness, rug type, rug surcingle depth, shoulder width, depth, length and dart type. You DO know that a certain company has just released a "DYNAMIC" rug??? Right? It seem our rug woes are like totally overr.

I mean, this rug can like predict the weathe and be like, cold on a hot day, and like, warm on a cold day.

I mean, how DID we live before????????!!!!!!!!!

Maaaaan, we were so dumb last century. Thank the Lord for Weatherbeeta.

Unfortunately my horses are allergic to nylon.
