Hello Berry - is that magnificent steed yours? I do love
skewbalds... used to ride one years ago and she had bags of
personality. Yours looks a real gentle soul :-)
he is a piebald, and unfortunatley, not mine, though i like to
pretend :p thanks, he's got a lot of personality too, very fond of
escaping and somehow managing to set his brother loose at the same
time..
Bah, sorry - tonsillitis means melty brain. Dolly was half shire,
hald thoroughbred, and had a terrible habit of pretending she
couldn't see you and leaning on you... she was lovely, though. I
also used to loan a lovely little welsh cob called Misty - I had
him for 4 years, and I still miss him. Shame riding is so expensive
and time consuming! I'd be back in the saddle in a heartbeat if I
could find the cash and the time...
nyaweh, sounds pretty! Poke's only a cob, though he is only five!
definate favourite at the yard, he moves fantastically, good at
everything, blesss him. oh bless! how comes you don't have him
anymore? yeah, i'm just finishing up my years course at a riding
centre, hard work, riding every day - which is awesome, but very,
very exhausting.
I had to give him up when I went to university. He was quite an old
man by then, and unfortunately, had to be put down a few years ago
(then again, he was well over 30 by then!). In a way, I wish I had
stuck to my dream of working with horses... oh well! Maybe when I'm
a rich author (*snorts*) I'll be able to afford to get myself a bit
of land and fill it with horses ^^D. Until then, I'm hoping that
one of my daughters takes after me and decides to adore horses...
the perfect excuse to get back into the saddle ;-) Your course
sounds so rewarding - just a teeny bit jealous here! There's just
nothing like working with horses, is there? I kind of do it
vicariously by sticking horsey subplots into my writing, but
there's nothing like the real thing.
oh bless him, well over 30 is good! we've got two cobs who are both
about as old as God, think it's probably just a matter of time for
them. trust me, working with horses - really not that dreamy. the
horses are perfect, of course, and i love them to peices, its the
people that come with them that really tire me out! plus i was only
being paid fifty pence for 12 hours work every day, and the
trainings just going down and down; don't get to ride half as much
anymore! which sucks. dont snort at being a famous author! i
thought that was why we were here :p
