ubereglu Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 I never knew you had a horse Mel! I like the little animation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocchick Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Is he(?) yours or a share, or loan. My dream is to share/own a horse You'll have to describe all in words Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted July 22, 2007 Author Share Posted July 22, 2007 He's ours - all ours He's a 14.2hh New Forset Pony, 9 year old gelding. Dapple Grey in colour. He's an absolute sweetie - bomb proof but ready to go if you want - perfect for first time horse owners like us We've only had him a week and are waiting for some friends to buy one themselves so that we can share the looking after and the ride outs. We went on our first ride out on him today - Paul walked the woggles, whilst I rode and then we swapped over - a bit scary but great fun!

Snowy Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Congratulations Mel! He sounds gorgeous! It is scary that first time you are out on your own on your very own horse isn't it? Hope you have loads of fun with him in the future - here's to many more happy rides! (Only, you know that if both you and &Paul ride, you wiill need 2 horses - especially for the pub crawl rides in Summer! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prongs Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Congrats! I've been horse riding a couple of times and it's just great! Hope you enjoy your horse! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Very cool, I love horses, but haven't done a lot of riding. If we ever meet each other again can I have a ride Mel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couperwife Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 eeek, I havent been horse riding since I was about 11 we live about 20 minutes from the North Yorkshire Moors- there are plenty of places to ride - maybe I should go and try (I can see Couperman going off and hiding his cheque book ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 The North York Moors are lovely aren't they Couperwife? Apart from when there's a nice rainstorm. I'd recommend trying to learn to ride-it's something I'd love to do...but can't afford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was like a cartoon, took all the skin off my legs too. You'll never guess how long I've taken posting this in case i offended anyone ho hum...

You could do with that 2nd pony to keep yours company. What's his name? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
