I have had a lot of people say this that and the other lately, so i am extending an offer....It isnt that i dont think people could, it is just i have seen the good, the bad and the downright dangerous (think someone trying to put a PONY sized standing martingale on her to control her :O )

:)

Im all seriousness, i have had sobe fab responses and very kind thoughts from fellow HHO'ers so i extend this offer to have a sit on the neddy :D

and this could be your view point :)
 
I'm more of a lurker but I love your mare. If you can ship her up north a bit I would jump on the offer lol, she looks lovely if a little opinionated.
 
@ merry - thank you, i bounce back rather well :)

@louise - sure why not ;) she has a personality and a half! Whatever you do, do not leave cups of coffee anywhere....

@martlin - fair dos :) she isnt everyones cup of tea (though i might steal your grey)

@ JFTD - cobs cant go fast enough for you to fall off ;) Your argument is invalid :D
 
groundhog day.

Last thread deleted, so rather than mull over why, start off another one to try and become the centre of attention.

No thanks to the offer :).
 
^^ Pahhha at your last post :D

Erm if I thought I could ride half of her I would love to as she is super talented but unfortunatly I think it would end in disaster :cool: and I'm with JFTD its to far to fall :p

(did your other post get pulled or am I going blind? I was just about to catch up with it :()

What's her story?

Ill summerise

Bought at three and helped break her in ( i was working at a professional dressage yard).
4 years old - resident trainer moved yards and me and dee moved with him. competes in a few affiliated events, winning every time out, competes in Young Horse Classes. I get very injured at work and everything grinds to a halt.
5 years old, she goes to live at an event riders yard, turned away for a while to regain her condition (do not ask) then rebroken.
6 years old - sent to a dressage trainers yard. I was on the sidelines as too scared to ride but i wasnt liking what i saw and so had to take over the ride of her. Shes opinionated but not too bad at times.
7 years old - she learns to bolt. And i do not mean run off i mean blind panic bolt through fences etc.
8 years old - she goes down on the road with me after rearing excessively for half an hour and high speed reversing. I stop riding for a while and work her on the ground (she was still in a snaffle or pelham at this point) I rebreak her and reschool her and she stops rearing.
9 years old start competing her, winning elementaries but find with the more work and the stronger she gets the more i need a little help to hold her a bit. She is a love lovely horse on the ground but is so different when you ride her, constantly wired. BUT she is happier in her double then her snaffle. I have tried riding in her snaffle since but she bolts...
 
Thankyou very much for your kind offer to ride your lovely mare I am afraid at this time I must decline because I am very busy instructing lawyers to comb the statute books looking for a law that it has recently been brought to my attention may exist that prevents me riding as my surgeon would prefer I did not ride I sure you will understand why I must reject your kind offer

LOL :D
 
BH, I'd love to take you up on that offer next time I'm in the UK (provided I've got my British Rider's Licence by then ;))

Kindly note that luggage restrictions from here to there are a bit measly, and I would be most gratified if you would assist me with a few necessities, as follows:
- HitAir or equivalent
- body protector
- short lead rein, for you to lead me with
- air ambulance parked in neighbouring field
- brown paper bag for when I hyperventilate prior to mounting

I'll bring my own sedation - extra doses available for any sensitive spectators who may be traumatised when I fall off.

Dee looks very lovely, but I strongly suspect she will take umbrage at the aged show jumper slouching around on her. Still, give it a go eh? :D
;)
 
Ermmm - am I being thick here (please dont answer that!) but why is it (apparently) such a big deal to offer people a chance to sit on your horse? :confused:

Is your horse wild and unbroken?
Are you truly the only person capable of sitting on the nag?

What a very odd thread?:rolleyes:

Go for it :) if you can you are more then welcome :) i cant, last time i did we bolted and she threw herself around a 20x40 arena. They feel small when you remember dee is 17hh

Many of mine are over 17hh, not a problem. Only problem is getting there. Maybe next year I will be in your country and I'll defo take you up on it if you're still game :)

That is ok, in light of recent information that has been brought to my attention it must be noted that as i have used delicia to break the law, she is herself implicated in a crime and as such, is a piece of vital evidence for the crown prosecution.

Furthermore, any accepting of this 'delicia' to ride or worse, hack, must be seen as the handling of goods used in crime and as such, you are required to hand yourselves in at the nearest police station. I shall be heading down there after tea. Delicia has already contacted the local police force and bars are being fitted to her stable as we speak. :D
