Thats about 9 years ago - to fit my bum on these days youd want a widescreen monitor - let alone then - and when you put Dom in there as well.....

Bumped into my neighbour in Sainsbury's today who commented that her cousin had recently asked her if she would mind riding her new horse for her as she was nervous of him. My neighbour hasn't ridden for a few years now and said she wouldn't ride him, not least as "she had heard the tales of what he can be like....", so, looks like I have the ride as she is desperate to get someone up on him.

....and so it transpires that the dream team pictured over 14 years ago on page one is to be re-united ~ the uncontrollable new horse is my old pikey pony! Happy days!!! :D
 
That's an amazing story SL - and fancy him still being in the area! How old is he now?

Absolutely lovely pics. I used to ride a piebald called Magpie for aobut 5 years as a kid - down in Salcombe at a riding school just up the road from my grandparents. I adored the little beast tho he did tend to run away with me all over the clifftops and up and down tiny rocky footpaths! They gave him to me when the school closed down - I was 12 - but my parents wouldn't let me keep him :ph34r: for which I never forgave them........ My godfather in Berwick 3 yrs later offered me a an unsuccessful racehorse of his - they were even less keen on me having that :angy: :angy: :angy:
 
What is it about pies and cheekiness? We had a pie pony at the riding school where I learned to ride, called Tango. He was really sharp, very clean lines, and immensely naughty! He seemed to know when he had an experienced rider on board, and do his darndest to try and make idiots of them. And he frequently succeeded! Put up small kids, especially those having to be lead-reined, and he'd become as docile as a Labrador.
 
I was quite surprised when I heard - not least as a large part of his supposed "reputation" came about when I came off him over 14 years ago and broke my femur! The woman into whose driveway he galloped (she put him in her paddock until someone could come and get him) declared him to be an "utter lunatic" and rang the owner of the farm I stabled him at to insist she collected him straight away as he was so crazy! Working it out, I reckon he must be 19 now, bless his cottons. Can't wait to get back up on him!
