[Little Squirrel]

I was meant to go and watch the pointing at Cottenham today but ended up fixing fence that someone else's naughty little ponies had destroyed!

Hope horse is ok and just ran badly rather than anything more sinister.

He's fine thanks. Just had a major strop that he didn't get the race his way!!!

 

[Jingleballs]

Went for a nice relaxing hack!

 

[Pearlsasinger]

Short hack on local roads (for safety's sake) in the pouring rain with sis (YuletideG). Both horses very good, both went first & last, although sister's horse did make it VERY clear that we could turn off and go home about halfway round.
It took us both back many years to winter hacks at RS, when the arena was too wet for a lesson. I'm sure the RI must have wished we'd stay at home occasionally!

 

[mulledwhine]

Took daughter for her lesson, and then moaned about how this time last week, the air was filled with magic and expectations, and how much I hate new years eve bah humbug lol

 

[wtdnh131]

I had a great day at warwick racing, got an autograph of brendan powell jnr and harry skelton, they where both lovely! also watching willie twiston davies fall off at the first then go limping into the weighing room, bad day for him!!

 

[Black_Horse_White]

Had a blazing row with OH because I've been out all day having my horse clipped, Men!! That's why I prefer my horse ;-)

 

[Piaffe63]

I had a lovely last day of 2011- have been for a really nice ride this morning and to my local tack shop this afternoon! Happy New Year Everyone!!!

Hacked out with my mum

[rascal]

Put a saddle on my 3yr old, diddnt bat an eyelid.
Mucked out the field shelter and picked up some muck, nothing very interesting.

 

[jesterfaerie]

Had a major clear out, sorted through all of the horses things and have a nice long list of things I am wanting to get rid of. Picked up a chest freezer to store my rugs in and re-organised my tack/feed room. Walked the dog with my OH and that has been about it.

 

[Headpiece]

just finished a 24 hour shift at work,



to pay for the horses

 

[Sugar1987]

Got to turn out my girl out for the first time since she had surgery, so nice to see her have a roll however had to have my old loan horse put to sleep at 4:00pm so a high and a low to end the year with.

 

[MochaDun]

Hacked out on my pony this morning, home for bath, pills and 30 mins snooze as not feeling well, friend popped in for catch up over tea and muffins, back to pony, sofa, few HNY phone calls to friends and family, bath, now in dressing gown awaiting my supper to cook.

 

[Chestnut mare]

Went to do the horses first thing, had a nice ride with my friend. Went to the horse shop got a couple of new haynets and bucket covers. Came home has lunch. Had a 2 and a half hour bath. Now relaxing for the evening in front of the tv under my duvet with a tub of ice cream .

 

[Ibblebibble]

got up late which was a treat, went to farm to check and feed horses, had coffee with farmer. waited about while friend removed the mud-gathering side steps from my 4x4 and then came home minus half tonne of mud.
Got stuck in spring cleaning the utility/dog room and washing all their stinky beds watched Evel Knievel on the tv lol then went back down farm to help hubby load some firewood and then unloaded it when he brought it home. Just had a huge chinese takeaway for tea and now too fat and full to do anything except chill with the kids in front the tv

[JFTDWS]

had a really fun horseball training session this morning

realised on reflection how badly I fail at most aspects of it, but it was good fun none the less

 

[tractorgirl]

Went hunting on my oh-so-reliable ginger nag - great day

 

[Welshie Squisher]

I bought 2 Chihuahua puppies

 

[JenTaz]

excersised the horse for the first time in 10 weeks due to him being injured, glad to know that he will start 2012 out in work as he started 2011 out of work due to minor injury and the weather

 

[spotty_pony]

Had a lovely lie-in and then went and took my boy out for a two hour hack.

 

[QUICKFIRE]

Moved yards!! 2 horses, feed bins rugs tack ect, and a 3.5t horse box full of jumps!! :-( to say i'm kernackerd is an understatement!! but will all be worth it to have the horses safe and sound! and not having to worry that some total nutter is not walking past walloping them over their heads!! they are both now tucked up in there new dry stables, and the tack is in a dry!! tack room without it getting soaked every time it rains.. now contemplating whether to get dressed to go out to see the new year in with some good friends.. Happy New Year all...

 

[dafthoss]

Hacked the ignorant git of a pony that I have the joy of calling my own. We had a discussion about ignoring my leg so spent the rest of the way home doing some sort of lateral work. Then gave him a good groom and turned him back out again.
Now on my way to a party with some family and friends to bring in the new year. Hope you all have a good one .

 

[Silver]

We have three horses mine, hubbies and 16 year old sons. Spent morning at the yard exercising, mucking out, poo picking and tack cleaning. Home for housework lunch. Then back up yard catch in and more exercising. Just how it should be. Love my time off work

 

[MrsHutt]

Rode H for an hour this morning, then came home and did a bit of washing!! This afternoon cuddled up with new kitten who had an upset tummy! Not going out this evening as OH has dreadful cold, so everyone has to stay at home

 

[MiJodsR2BlinkinTite]

Met a friend and went for a hack! Road-work only as everywhere here off-road is like a swamp, but lovely nonetheless.

 

[mocha911]

Skiing in Austria, drinking and fireworks...
Perfect end to 2011

 

[Shantara]

Rode Nedly got to brush his hind legs and walked around the show field in-hand...for those who don't know, that's a BIG thing!

Went for a walk with the woof, bought a numnah and likit holder (£4 for the lot :O)

Played Sorry (I won!)
