We've been brainwashed by their advertising evil Grin. I remember getting their catalogue through the post and spending hours looking through picking out everything I wanted. I was only about 14 though Blush

I did the exact same thing, along with horse-shopping through the classifieds in Horse and Hound Grin

Fanks, knew you lot would know! There is a big horsey stuff shop near me, I might pop in tomorrow. And I will also buy some arnica for my bruises.

evilgiraffe · 15/04/2013 21:49

I want this one.
Or this one.

Happy shopping, Twinks!

CaptainMoll · 15/04/2013 21:53

'Ssup ladies.
Thanks for the sleepy koala. I needed that.

The horsey chat is making me feel all nostalgic.. I use be like one those Thelwell cartoons when I was a kid. I also really thought I could keep a pony in the garden shed.

I wish someone would tell me I had "super conformation, good paces and a scopey jump".
That said, this is definitely an accurate description of me.
"Travels well in a lorry. Won and been placed in hand.
Correct and straight moving mare who is ready for someone to progress her career in any discipline."

TWinklyLittleStar · 15/04/2013 22:06

Those horses are beautiful. I think if I was buying I would be looking more at the ploddy cob end of the market.

Actually I'm very taken with him, and Envy and Shock at the uninterested son.

evilgiraffe · 15/04/2013 22:06

Ohh, they're nice too. Four is a bit young for me, though, I like them old enough that they know what they're doing without too much input from me.

evilgiraffe · 15/04/2013 22:10

Moll, I suspect my ad would read: "Solidly built, no vices but occasionally mare-ish. Ideal happy hacker."

TWinklyLittleStar · 15/04/2013 22:11

An advert selling me would not have 'travels well' in it.

CaptainMoll · 15/04/2013 22:14

Twink absolutely Shock at the son. I would have given anything for my own horse at that age. Also, why would you buy your child a horse unless they were really definitely interested in riding one?!?. I am totally judging these people.

Draff I love that you are a happy hacker Grin

HesterShaw · 15/04/2013 23:05

I would specify "Horse which is scared of nothing and tolerates a clueless imbecile on its back, which doesn't mind the occasional missed meal, mucking out or hack due to forgetfulness and laziness"

I should not be in charge of a baby horse.

TWinklyLittleStar · 15/04/2013 23:09

Children Horses can always be left in the care of boarding schools livery yards, so they'll get fed and exercised by a proper responsible grown up :)

Horse shopping you say? Well I have contacted the owner about this girl:

www.bokt.nl/markt/ad/81439/lieve-recreatie-merrie-nieuwe-vraagprijs She's looks like she could be "fun" as she has "ishoos" - has done a small amount of competition but I reckon would be fun on a x-country course - only problem is she's about a hand and a half bigger than I wanted to go this time - n.b., that is a BIG MAN on her.

I've also been looking at this boy but he's twice my budget and a stallion which is just no end of hassle, but he sure is purdy:

My ad: "hasn't fulfilled potential, could go far with right owner".

HesterShaw · 16/04/2013 11:24

Noooooooooooo! Don't let this turn into a hoss thread!

HesterShaw · 16/04/2013 11:25

Obviously everyone has to do exactly as I say Hmm

HesterShaw · 16/04/2013 15:56

Oh dear Lord, what a bloody princess! Unbelievable!

MY MIL decided to wear a lilac trouser suit to my wedding. The bridesmaid was a darker shade of lilac, the sweet peas were lilac. Should I never have spoken to her again? My SIL, moreover, wore white trousers you could see her pants through.

HesterShaw · 16/04/2013 16:28

I'm pretty sure if I rimmed a person suffering from explosive diarrhoea I'd still have a cleaner mouth than that of the OP

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAAAA!!!!!!

I can't find it, I think it's been deleted, boo. I used to love a bit of YAYW.

I was snowboarding today. Then I had a nice chat about yoni & arse candles with lesbian friend with ivf twins. Turns out she has PCOS so marrying an in-house egg donor was a pretty crafty move.
