[Tierra]

They're on my christmas list!

 

[4whitesocks]

Hmmm for MY birthday last Sunday Sid got....schooling whip, brushing boots (fronts & hinds) and a heritage comfort bridle.....

before that the last thing I bought was......em.....an acre of good Kildare land to keep the little sod on!!

 

[Tempi]

i like those heritage comfort bridles

 

[kerrylou123]

the last thing i bought my mare was a new light bulb, and starter motor for her stable if that counts! And the last thing i bought my gelding was a heavy weight turnout rug from your horse live on sunday!

Cherry chaff had no effect whatsoever on Corroy. (She did like it though!)

Bummer!!!!!!! I am running out of food to try and fizz her up with - she's on oats, oil, speedibeet and carrots - and last night actually grunted as she heaved herself over a foot high cross pole

 

[Madam_max]

. You do make me laugh. Have you tried Tiger Oats? Corroy is quite lazy, but she is easy to wind up and there's a very fine line, as a few people have found out.

I wish I was nearer, I love to meet her.

Does she not even wake up if you do loads of direct transitions with her?

 

[SSM]

The only transition she likes is into halt

Instructor has to use code words for downward transitions as she just goes straight into them - never seems to work on the upwards!!

You would love her - she is very loveable - but it's in the breed as you know!!!!!!!!

 

[Madam_max]

Well lucky Corroy has a lot of TB in her then. She's not that bad. What is she like on sponsored rides or hunting?

 

[MrsMagoo]

Urm a fleece excersise sheet for £10 of Ebay, bargain

although im writing my x-mas list from Derby House at the mo so hopefully she will get lots of nice things over x-mas hehe

 

[SSM]

She has only done one summer hunt ride with me and yes she did go up a gear - found her buck, tug, charge and mini rear gears - it was brilliant

Once clipped I am going to overcome her loading issue and then yes will be out hunting - or maybe grunting in her case - she is just happy to stand and watch the world revolve around her!!!!!!! Donkey by name and donkey by nature (her favorite food is thistles and I am not kidding!!!!!)

 

[Halfpass]

A head collar, but i'm on the look out for some 6'3"/ 6'6" rugs for her

 

[JoBo]

A new girth (a brown one to go with Black's brown saddle), shavings and feed, last night actually.

 

[Rambo]

A visit from the vet

 

[icestationzebra]

Goodie - cos I want to come with you

Have a plan with regard to loading.... we'll just rev up a big white van behind her and watch her load herself!

Sorry, won't interupt you again!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[4whitesocks]

Me too - only it's not the prettiest thing for his little pony head! He went really well in it first time out (on Tuesday) haven't ridden since so the weekend will be a better test....

 

[Happytohack]

A new bridle - after searching all over the place for a XF, bridle with padded cavesson noseband without a flash, I finally found one in local tack shop and it cost under £25!

 

[PapaFrita]

Been going a bit mad on ebay; but most recently bought PF a lovely, very tasteful (honest!) diamante bridle which coincidentally comes from Cotswoldsport

Am seriously, seriously tempted to get a spare!

 

[PapaFrita]

Oooh, I also bought a saddle, but that was the day before I flew out and it's still in the shop for when I come back.

 

[Gingernags]

New girth - one of the ones thats good on sweaty nags, white saddle cloth for dressage... Now just need to try them out!!

 

[Gingernags]

Have you tried barley instead of oats?

I know what you mean, one of the kids was PC eventing Asti and we tried to get her really popping out of her skin for the jumping and cross country - she jumps well enough and isn't slow but she was just so laid back - we tried her on loads of things including instant energy type competition mix and nada - no change, not a bit!!!

Saying that, I remember years ago we all bought "quiet mix" for our nice ploddy hacks and they all went mental on it!

 

[SSM]

Okay, how do I feed barley? (I will try anything) - only remember it soaked and boiled and smelling really nice - does'nt barley make legs fill - dragging my memory back to bygone years

 

[filly190]

Another new rug, my yealing shredded her first turn out rug in a matter of days. New one seems to be ok, touch wood

 

[KatB]

Hyper horse food= Propell plus!! Has yet to fail on anything I know......

 

[ladylisa]

I got lady a new headcollar and me some new stirrups and seeing as she's just cost me a fortune today with the farrier, dentist and back man she will only be having polos for a while now!

 

[Gingernags]

Aaaaah. Snag, I can't remember... I'm sure you can just buy it as flaked barley (looks like cornflakes) and feed as you would oats... not sure about the filling legs though... its a long, long time since I've fed it, its was Asti's mum that had some to fatten her up - she was already a nutter so it couldn't possibly have made her worse!

 

[Blackhawk]

A leadrope, seaweed, garlic, pasture mix and a new saddle. All bought at the same time
