I'm pretty good at turning a horse out well, or more specifically plaiting. I'm no great shakes on a horse (too nervous, with a total lack of coordination!) but I can plait just about anything neatly and make it look smart enough to go out in public :D

I WANT SNOW AS WELL!!!
The only thing I seem good at is working with horses who have problems ( the so call problem horse which is neally always human made ;) ) I can sit rearers, buckers good rodeos shows and have the confidence and patients to see through their problems and love doing it and hate a normal horse but ask me to do a dressage test or look pretty not a bloody chance. If I had the money I would open my own yard for all the so called problems to live with me :)

Thats my girl - :-D think I am marginally ocd, it nearly killed me to not be able to sweep whole yard this morning due to salt being down...but then I reasoned that falling on ice was probably not worth indulging my craziness for!

I am very good at being a crotchety, bad tempered moo bag. I think that is pretty much it really :(

:D:D

ETS: I am also very good at having a frighteningly low opinion of my own abilities too apparently. This is what I am told anyway.

Selling horses!

Also turning them out, hate the pressure of competing but love watching them go for someone else.

Non-horsey things, I am very good at keeping my temper/not losing my cool when things go t**s up.

Running plait- I think it's used on Spanish horses, only I do it tight to the crest so it stays out the way more. Always looks smart though, and takes about 5 mins to do it at most!

I can muck out really quickly (using my hands for all the poo - wearing rubber gloves). I'm good at finding itchy spots on horses and making them pull funny faces. Mostly I'm good at sitting bucks and really bad spooks.
