    Gary Moore RIP

    Huge talent and I really enjoyed his music and saw them a few times. I don't want to bring down the tone of tributes to him here, he was a nice man and I am a fan. But sadly he is most definitely a rock n roll lifestyle casualty. It is no secret that he was well acquainted with the white...

    Life sucks ...

    Thank you. I know you are right about the application, and this is the main problem, like suntan lotion. It never gets put on often, or soon enough. She is far away from me so I cannot do it and have to rely on my nagging to get it put on her. But we are giving it another go this year .... as...

    Voy Por Ustedes back in training

    THANK you Rory, Steve .... and Ardross! (:D) And not forgetting Luke of course! Hmm. Well I figured Alan would speak up eventually and I think what he said is pretty fair.

    Typical, I but the bloody paper .... and there is never anything in it. Then when I don't buy it there is actually someting I'd like to read. If anyone has a copy of the text I'd love to read it. I am not a member on the RP and it will not let you read this one unless you are. :(

    Life sucks ...

    Not a river as such, but there is a really wet spot at the bottom of the field, must be an underground stream. We did use Spot On for awhile and it helped, but did not stop completely. I think the pony is so sensitised now that one bite sends her mad. Think I might try it again this year, get it...

    Horses we would like to see retired...

    He is a funny horse. I used to get so peeved about McCoy in those days, poor old Deano. But AP has mellowed. Can't say the horse has, still has definite ideas about everything. Greatwood is near us and I see him often. He does like a visitor now, has finally figured out that no one is going to...

    Life sucks ...

    Thanks Moe, I agree with you, nothing like the smells of a paddock! 'Eau de expensive whatever' does not lift the spirits or evoke such memories. :) We think the pony will be okay, the children ride her and take her to shows so as soon as the weather improves a little bit her life will be...

    Horses we would like to see retired...

    I cannot think of any at this point, but had this query been posted a little while back I would have said My Will. Was very pleased to not only see him retired but see him go to a great home with the lass who looked after him. Gorgeous and kind horse, must be a dream to ride. :)

    Horses I Would Love to Own

    Having had a shite season where every horse I owned, had owned or even had fond thoughts of was sold to foreign places, injured or killed I really did not wish to become attached to anymore horses. But there is always another one ....... Midnight Chase, really love him. I've followed him...

    Life sucks ...

    Sounds awful Helen, although at least the dog is able to have a few days at home. Just hope the pain is manageable. Armee - how sad, and so young too. Each person is of course different and I have no deatils about your condition, but medicine changes all the time and there may be advances on...

    Life sucks ...

    So sorry Helen. I did a little work with a vet when I lived in Devon and the saddest cases I helped on were older animals who were the much loved companions of older people, especially those on their own.

    Road to the Stayers Hurdle

    It was a joy to watch him today and I like him a lot, but Big Bucks is a hard bastard, not sure what will happen when/if he and Grands Crus get in a battle. But looking forward to it for sure! :)

    Cheltenham Saturday 29/1

    Did not have a penny on him, but loved seeing the old boy jumping so well and perking his ears. Think it was a very brave ride by AP and they were foolish to let them get away like that.

    He has not been there that long. Ogden informed King that he would not be sending back a few other horses, but VPU was scheduled to return there. Sir Robert is a demanding owner, remember he moved Marlborough to France (then ran him on the boggy ground he hated and sent him back to Nicky)...

    Get well soon Diamond Geezer

    Sorry to hear he's not well - sending Get Well Wishes from here too. Hope he is back soon and sharing piccies.

    Life sucks ...

    How awful for you, and not the season to be without a car either. Seems a long and difficult situation to get out of, and over, but really hoping the new improves for you!

    The hacking incident yesterday

    Thank you! :D Why people have time or the energy to be destructive is beyond me ..... :blink:

    Life sucks ...

    Always sad to me when people become scared of nature, whatever happens to us in childhood can play a big part. I was alarmed by all the dead birds in the US too, very weird. They do keep crop spraying though, and also spray starling flocks to keep away from cities. They make a massive mess...

    Well, this has cheered me up no end after so much depressing chat. Off to dig out the old videos .... :)
