So, where SHOULD you buy horses from?

So those of you who have good amazing safe sane horses, where did you find them?!

I'm also questioning whether to buy at all, or just continue to share and loan.

Pixel, Vicar thank God for HobNobs is all I can say..... Fancy us all getting independent and informed!Shock Shock Can't have that! Grin.
Lets share some Brew Brew and sit in silence and think about what that could have led to....

We shall rise reformed and take lead file to tell the world about our enlightenment whilst listening to the music in our ears..... Wink

Pixel · 23/02/2013 18:49

Think you've lost me a bit there, but all I can think about when you mention Hobnobs is a big Jammy Dodger for some reason!

chocolatecakeystuff · 23/02/2013 20:31

Hehehe I sooo love the cryptic non threadpulling code :-)

My evenings entertainment (too poor for a social life these days haha)

Keep it coming guys eagerly awaiting more of those secretive noblets to come out the closet Grin

Mirage · 23/02/2013 21:00

I'm thinking of opening a bakery,what do you lot think of the name,'MySoftCobs?' Or a website listing approved tradesmen 'MySafeJobs'? Or a shoe shop,'MySafeClogs?'

You might be able to tell that I've had a lot of time on my hands today.Grin

ThatVikRinA22 · 23/02/2013 22:02

Grin that is all. Wink

dikkertjedap · 23/02/2013 22:07

I still don't understand who those cutlets are? Do they get any money out of it, ie promotion fee or discounts on goods or services?

minx67 · 24/02/2013 00:30

You're just a very small group of sad obsessed ladies, it's almost laughable, the only way you would know about 'music to my ears' 'hot showers' and comments about hoodies is if you have been watching the videos....of which 14,000 odd people enjoy greatly, what I can't understand is if you think it's all so terrible, why do you keep watching them ???? I suggest you try and find something else to do with your time other than your usual childish name calling, mind you, I suppose once you've watched your daily fix of Jeremy Kyle and catch ups of the only way is essex there's not much else you can do. I'm only guessing this is what you lot watch, because in reading your silly posts, it speaks volumes about your mentality and your IQ levels.
Lastsaloon, independent? informed? that's the last thing you would be described as. Maybe get yourselves little jobs, even some charity work, anything that would mean you're contributing something decent to society rather than your jealous rants at a very large community of people who are very happy and supportive of each other. Oh, and Dikk?? no, you probably never will understand
It must be a very very long time since you lot have bullied people in the playground, perhaps its time to grow up now.

Pixel · 24/02/2013 00:49

No the nutcutlets don't get a staff discount, not even off their uniforms. They are as moths to a flame .

(is this still cryptic enough?).

disliketrolls · 24/02/2013 01:25

A lone coblet ,yes I will go with that because I do not need help standing up to childish bullies ,and you are very childish ,think you are being clever with your not so funny "CRYPTIC" innuendos,seriously grow up !!! and yes the thread got pulled because of the copy and paste stuff ,I have an email from Mumsnet to prove it admittidly there were other reasons as well , I will leave you all to carry on you obviously need to amuse each other ,what sad lives you must live

dikkertjedap · 24/02/2013 01:34

Horse lovers are often enthusiastic, driven, mainly talk horse etc. but cutlets on the other hand seem kind of evangelical and totally focused on their SPECIAL ONE.

minx67 · 24/02/2013 01:39

Dislike, they've been banned from everywhere else, they've got to offload their obsession somewhere !! pmsl

lastsaloonNelson · 24/02/2013 09:30

Soooo,we're not allowed to form an opinion about a certain little safe sect,but it's perfectly ok for them to pass judgement on anyone who happens to see it as a silly little clutch of women who are desperate to belong to a pretend 'pony-club' (is that a safe enough way to express myself....) pot anyone? Kettle.
minx67 you seem to know me very well (intrigued). Yeah I spend my days watching Jeremy Kyle,TOWIE and other informative documentaries Grin on a loop. I'm so bored after running my business,caring for my DC,DH,DPets and DHorse that I fill my time with teasing HobNobs as I find it gives me a laugh and they are so easy to hook.
Keep them coming,I find it helps me wind down at the end of yet another exciting day. Looking forward to your,no doubt witty, reply.
O and btw I wasn't aware I was banned from anywhere but please fill me in,I wouldn't want to go somewhere I wouldn't be welcome.

lastsaloonNelson · 24/02/2013 09:41

O and minx if you find you are often plagued by the affliction where you lose control over your bodily functions when you burst out in spontaneous laughter (does it happen when you cough too?) I would get myself to a GP as there is not much they can't fix these days.
Whilst you wait for this to happen may I recommend a product called Tena that will help you in these sometimes embarrassing moments.

It's a very common affliction in your age group,nothing to be ashamed of.

Just easy on the Brew for now. Wink

See we are on the whole quite a caring lot you know.

HTH

WillowKnicks · 24/02/2013 10:32

What very strange posts from minx.

We're obsessed?? So it's OK for you to read & comment on this thread...but if we put anything on 'her who shall remain nameless' page, it's instantly pulled?? Right...OK??!!Confused.

You said if we don't like the videos, don't watch them...well if you don't like what we write, then don't read it, right back at ya Grin

Anyway, enough of this twaddle, I'm tearing myself away from Jezza Kyle to groom (yep so much time on hands that I ALWAYS groom before riding, unlike someWink) my horse & dd's pony for a lovely, sunday afternoon hack.

Enjoy your video Grin

lastsaloonNelson · 24/02/2013 11:27

Have a great time today willow and yes I do think it's very important to groom before a ride,not only to prevent any tack rubbing but also to check for any nicks,cuts,lumps or bumps you might otherwise not have noticed.

You'd think that would be quite a crucial part of caring for a horse's well being especially as any drastic change in temperament/behaviour can hinge on having a cheek piece a notch too high/low,but hey what do I know.

Off to play with the grown-ups now (can only tolerate whiny/needy kids for SO long...) Wink

Pixel · 24/02/2013 12:14

I'm still struggling to work out what is so wrong with C&Ping names that are already on the internet in plain sight. It's not a leaked secret document.

dikkertjedap · 24/02/2013 12:16

I take the feel very insecure. Plus most sects are kind of defensive and secretive.

lastsaloonNelson · 24/02/2013 12:57

Pixel it might have something to do with being a member of a club and you'd rather not have people knowing about that? Let's face it it's never nice to discover you have been taken for a ride with your eyes open is it?

How can you not see it when you are so openly being fleeced? First you become a member,then they form an 'in-crowd' that can only see the 'special vids' after having paid £4.99 a month (nice little earner). You invite people to come and join you and ride the horses for you and then you print off vouchers that people can buy for £50 a piece to do the same!! Genius business plan if you ask me.

I'm normally all for letting people get on with it,their time,their money.
I only got involved when all these threads kept getting pulled because the HobNobs went wining to HQ every time the Queen Mum got mentioned in a slightly less than favourable light.

Freedom of speech remember,it's a right that has to be treasured,monitored and defended at all cost.

None of us has been slanderes/rude or anything like that,still we get silenced for merely voicing our opinions/experiences.I don't take to that kindly I'm afraid.

dikkertjedap · 24/02/2013 13:15

You see, that is why I expected that the cutlets might be in it for something in exchange, i.e. free horse riding, free lessons, whatever it may be.

lastsaloonNelson · 24/02/2013 13:55

No Dikkertjedap it's all about the need to belong .......... and the exploitation of that ;) A psychologist would have a field day with that lot,trust me ...... ishooos galore.
Btw,hope you don't mind me asking,do you have 'forrin' roots by any chance?
Do you sit on the stairs at 6.30am? As a direct result of reading your name, I now have a children's song in my head,that I can't get rid off!! Grin

dikkertjedap · 24/02/2013 14:13

Yep, I do think that it is a really nice song.

BehindLockNumberNine · 24/02/2013 16:44

I sing that song every time I read Dikkertjedap's name. How many of us are Dutch here then??

Oh, and another question (one that hopefully won't get the thread pulled) How many of the nutcutlets have every actually ridden a horse, nevermined owned one?

BehindLockNumberNine · 24/02/2013 16:44

ever, not every. Damn I wish there was an edit button!

WillowKnicks · 24/02/2013 17:23

That's exactly my feelings. I'm not usually one for p** sing on someone's parade & I'm sure a lot of people get pleasure from the videos, which is great but the censorship of any slightly negative comment, whilst slagging off on the videos customers with a genuine grievance has really put my hackles up TBH!!

lastsaloonNelson · 24/02/2013 18:08

BehindLockNumberNine guilty..... Grin Do you share my love of Thanks ?
Willow Spot on,I was surprised by the strength of my feelings about all this.

We will unfortunately have to wait 'till after midnight for a reply as I noticed the HobNobs only come out at night...... Shock
