New horse

My lovely husband bought me a new horse at Christmas. A beautiful warmblood x 16.2hh bay mare with BSJA points. She's hunted with the North Cotswold and is perfect, but very forward. I haven't hunted for five seasons and having had a baby, have somewhat lost my nerve. I am desperate to go out next season, and need to have some refresher lessons over summer. Does anyone know of a really good freelance teacher in the dorset area (that's where we'll be this summer). I need to get my nerve back. ANy suggestions appreciated.

I'm with Pixel. Quinoa in the cupboard, probably out of date. Grin

I just asked for a horse for Mothers Day. What are the chances, do you reckon??? Given that we live in a city and all....

quinoa cooked in veg stock with butternut squash and fresh beetroot is my one and only slow cooker recipe, just stir in cubes of feta to serve

actually we used to have quinoa cooked in orange juice for breakfast when my older two were little and I hadn't discovered the subversive thrills of cocopops etc

what on earth is "pervy" about waiting to see if the poor dog was being abused? Thw woman who said that, must have serious issues...

I have no idea to be honest. This woman was really abusive though, calling the OP a 'f*ing stupid bitch' and all sorts. some of the insults she used were shocking!

And you never know android, you might get a My Little Pony :o

I love it in here.

And as for horse-ownership being elitist ??? Move to the West of Ireland.
It's another world...owning at least one muddy pony is mandatory round here. Everyone has a field and everyone has a donkey or a pony.
My first lad was a bargain and my second lad was a rescue (by a friend who then gave him to my daughter) cos he had a dicky ear and nobody would ever buy him so he was destined to live rough on the moors for the rest of his life.

No glamour involved here at all, and because it's so commonplace, farriery and feed is relatively affordable.

If I still lived in the UK I couldn't afford to have my boys. Not a hope.
