Thank fuck I did ! Jeez he was so useless after a lovely reigniting romance in lockdown. Ex BF did nothing and I mean nothing after he moved in I said on more than one occasion do I look like a 1950s housewife ? Anyway he’s gone and the horse has come welcome Bear 🐻

What a trade up! Bear is incredibly handsome.

OnceUponAMidnightBeery · 22/07/2021 22:53

Gorgeous Bear, and bloody well good for you!! Feck to the ex, we need Bear details! Might be worth moving this to The Tackroom forum (I think that’s the name?) just to get the full Bear appreciation experience

Parsley1234 · 22/07/2021 22:53

@Thekormachameleon he is ISH x cob 15.3 ♥️

Aw. Top choice. And it sounds like you need someone special to sniff (not a sentence I’d normally write).

My ‘wise old’ mother used to say about useless people that you should ‘sell em and buy a donkey’. Looks like it really is a thing. Well done.

TeeBee · 22/07/2021 22:55

I bet the horse does more than he did.

Parsley1234 · 22/07/2021 22:56

I put it on here because the ex was the catalyst and then it might give some people some hope that there was life after an eejit that promised the world and delivered nothing.

Oh wow great choice! Gorgeous horse!!!

OnceUponAMidnightBeery · 22/07/2021 22:59

Sorry cross posted, Flowers for you, it’s bloody tough when those close to you are suffering.

Extremely glad you have Bear, just being around them can get you through some tough times!

Parsley1234 · 22/07/2021 22:59

@TeeBee jeez how did you know ? He certainly does my ex could do fuck all - had 10 jobs in 8 months could not/would not cook make tea could not think of one thing to do for fun jeez how different it was when we were dating ! Just shows how some people put on a good show

Parsley1234 · 22/07/2021 23:01

@OnceUponAMidnightBeery yes he was a gift to myself I lost 3 businesses in Covid and I am now a civil servant with a beautiful new equine friend ♥️

TeeBee · 22/07/2021 23:02

Sounds like a great exchange OP. I hope you tell him he was replaced by a stallion 😂

Darkchocolateandcoffee · 22/07/2021 23:02

LawnFever · 22/07/2021 23:04

Yes you have! Given hope that is.

You’ve definitely traded up.... sounds like ex talks more shit than Bear produces 😂 Would love more pics btw...

Japanesejazz · 22/07/2021 23:10

I once got slated on here for saying “if you want a stable relationship then get a horse”
I knew I was right though
Well done OP, mine bring me pleasure every day, even when I’m dragging hay out in thick snow in the pitch black and mud like Flanders

hilariousnamehere · 22/07/2021 23:10

One of my favourite ever threads! Sorry about your sad news but Bear is gorgeous!
