Might be wrong but wasnt she was the last mare before zarkava to win the ark.

Which hedgeholme horse are you using out of curisoty. (my spelling is not my strong point)

Not sure if its already been mention but Misu Bond has been retired to stud.

I have to say that even knowing her I think its a bit over the top. I cant remeber if Pippa Funnell got an award when she won the eventing Grand Slam which involves winning all three of the Four star events in the world and is much tougher than winning euroepan and world gold medals. I think...

I saw that. She had a great attitude when NE asks if she as going to go away thinking of the 250 she turned round and said she was thinking of what she was going to spend the money on. Much more deserving than the one that blamed her boyfriend.

What happened to the lad riding him.

Im jealous of the lot of you I cant remeber the last time I had a proper holiday. As im only part time I take loads of time off but spend it at the sales trying to earn enough money to make up for the fact I earn peanuts at work and enable me to keep an eventer going all season. I am headed for...

Ok you caught me out it was 7000. Not 7000 grand. She would have made a lot more when we bought her but the lot before was the first mare offered in foal to giants causeway and made mega money and everyone dissappeared so we got a bargain.

At the end of the day buying cheap mares is a gamble. We bought a mare for 7000 grand a few years ago who had only bred fillies she has since produced three colts and one filly since being with us. Her best progeny we sold for 4000 and he went on to be third in the britannia and was sold to hong...

We had a massive storm one day when the vet was in scanning mares. Since the eleccy was out we were disscussing horses being struck by lightening. That evening dad got a phone call off one of ours owners who had got his mare back a couple of weeks earlier to say that shed been struck by...

Ive never used anything protective does that mean im going to come down with some incurable illness. I did know it was important to get it out by the roots which isnt the easyest thing in the world to do. The joys of being a farmers daughter.

I bitched out a condom because im sexy and i do what i want!?! :confused:

Massive doesnt do it justice. We pull our ragwort at home and this year we hardly had any which on 200acres isnt bad going. It took two afternoons of me and mum scrabling up and down banks to get it all pulled (hopefully all we havent seen any more yet.)

Ragwort is dangerous to horses but only when its dead. I think its illeagal not to do anything if your a landowner and you have it on your land but Im not 100% sure on that. I would have no idea who you could report it to though. Luckily horses dont seem to eat it unless theres nothing else to eat.

Shadow Leader how do you know so much about ballet. Lets be honest any sport whatever it is causes strain on different parts of the body thats why only a few excell and like SL says most pro sportsmen and women are cripples and have a short career.

I know a fair few riders and not nesscarily those involved in racing who have had to have knees operated on for damage to cartalige. I found running jarred my joints to much so gave up on that and I try to swim as much as I have time for its also more fun. Its much more handy when its hot as I...

Love the picture of the deer. Which are supposed to be the dodgy ones. They all look great to me.

To be totally honest the law isnt going to change now and like you say people are still hunting legally. I do agree the CA can be a bit over the top but they are only standing up for what they believe in. I have grown up in a hunting family where it has been in the family for generations. It is...

How can you disagree with people standing up for what they believe in. What about the thousands of people who voted for someone other than sara cox because the horse she was riding was a hunter. Does this not take away from what sara managed to achieve on the show. I have hunted since I was a...

Gutted that anna has gone so now Im backing Nikki. She went way up in my books when she fell on that fence and yet was more concerned about the horse. She has also improved the most of anyone and is actually riding her rounds. It was nice to see her ride sensibly last night and go for a clear...
