[MerryMAL]

Actual: Some stuff from Joules and money for the sales

Fantasy: A concrete yard with an indoor arena, a lorry with living and a lorry license for mum. An ageless, faultless, ailmentless horse... oh to dream *sighs* A bottomless pit of money...

 

[Sol]

- Actual: Various bits of show gear, new bridle, more bandages/numnahs etc. (already got a new pair of leather tendon boots that I know of!)

- Fantasy: New saddle (I can wish - but I'm saving!) and my own amazing yard with indoor/outdoor, showjumps, XC course, wash bay & solarium, walker, all weather turnout & grazing, a nice working horse van, a snazzy andalusian for dressage and a super 15hh jumping horse to take show jumping & evening!

I don't want much.... honest

 

[brushingboots]

actual: to finally get my hair dyed properly! [completley non horse related but i stupidly dyed my own hair and now i look a bit silly!] and a nice jack wills voucher for some more tracky bottoms

Fantasy; a stable so i could keep wotti forever and a really nice horse for mum!!

 

[kerilli]

actual - 2 pairs of winterweight breeches (which mum has already given me)
really nice trendy jumper (which i picked but mum's hoarded away till Christmas)
no choccies i hope!

fantasy - full set of Jump4Joy showjumps to go out in my paddock, so i can have a full course up for practice and still use it for grazing without horses eating my lovely jumps!
new horse from Vere Phillips for next season.
a bionic knee to replace my slightly wrecked one!

 

[kit279]

Actual - Butet dressage saddle, courtesy of superb OH, parents and a very strong Euro!

Fantasy - Santa, if you are listening, kindly put a rocket or similar up my local planning department so I can get on with buying a yard. Before Christmas would be even better.

 

[vam]

Actual - money prob and maybe some clothes. I go to Olympia every year as so my prezzy comes from there. got my eye on a Equiport show jacket while i have some money for one. If not anything that makes me look slim, maybe that should be on my fantasy list

Fantasy - horse to jump 1.20m plus with perfect temp and attitute for me so i can actually ride it. Horse box for said horse, nothing to fancy but with living and under weight with horse on it. Oh and a year of free training would be very useful

 

[scrumpygus]

Actual - my new puppy i already have at home - i know how lucky am i shouldnt want anything else but if i really had to ask;
Fantasy - the ability to ride like Carl Hester.

 

[tabithakat64]

Actual- nothing actually.
Fantasy _ Fudge to be sound again, Lady to be 15.2hh and a lottery win

 

[chester1234]

K - Jump4Joys still get eaten, trust me!

Actual : I'd quite like a nice set of proper white bandages for lessons, or some nice tendon / fetlock boots for SJ.

Fantasy : American Barn, Lenamore, Outdoor and Indoor schools, P&R turnout, good hacking without quarry lorries hooning around, and a lovely Ketterer

And for the little pony to grow 2hh so I can keep him!!

 

[chris_j]

actual: one of these stockpins - can't decide though, help! http://shop.barnmice.com/acatalog/Stock_Pins___Cufflinks.html

fantasy: an indoor school & a HGV lorry so I can take all 3 horses to a show at once. Better add a groom to the list as well!

 

[thrillsnspills]

Actual: A new show-jacket that actually fits me! I look like I'm riding around in a bin-bag with buttons on it at the moment. :O

Fantasy: A cheque big enough to buy me the horse I'm currently loaning!

 

[simplyhunting]

Actual : new pair of long boots to compete in rug for the horse

and a couple of pairs of mark todd breeches
Fantasy: A yard, complete with full sj set, indoor arena avec mirrors

and a a decent horsewalker. Would love an amerigo dressage saddle too ...

 

[MillbrookSong]

Actual - A nice exercise sheet, some cheap lights for the field so i can ride when i get home from work and a battery for my car!!

Fantasy - All 4 horses to be sound at once but then if that happened have enough money that i wouldnt have to work full time and then i would like a school as well and finish the stables at home

 

[diggerbez]

real- i'm getting a puppy too! another whippet- he arrives on friday

from my mum and dad i'm getting clothes- non horsey ones- i spend all my money on horses so apprantly i look like a tramp

fantasy- an eventing schoolmaster, an brand new build oakley horse box and enough money so i can quit work

 

[seabiscuit]

Actual; Miranda Theobald Bespoke XC colours , but wont actually get them in time for christmas as they dont work in December ( BooHoo !

) I'm going for a complete change of colours as I reckon my last colours bought me too much bad luck- so we are now all in Cerise and Baby Pink!

Fantasy; A brand new Theault horsebox and for the county council to allow us to have concrete /drainage outside the stables at home- then I could keep the horses at home in the winter& save a fortune on livery fees

Actual: new laptop from my fab OH (using it now - he offered it to me the other night as I was feeling very down), money from parents, inlaws etc which has partly been spent to get an equilibrium massage pad.
Fantasy:a fancy surface for the manege, complete new set of tack for OH's horsie, Flo to decide to be sound again

, or if she doesn't then a new safe horsie to ride next year.

[0ldmare]

Actual: probably nothing horsey

but lovely jubbly non the
less

Fantasy: for some good fairy to find me my perfect horse
without me having to through all that traumatic horse hunting
malarky

or, as we are in fantasy world, for my old mare to
be 10 years younger and not lame

 

[Kentisheventer]

Actual- Amerigo dressage and jump tack (all except saddles)

Fantasy-..... a few horses to fill our empty stables wouldnt go a miss
