What's the situation about selling horses just now? I assume that as they are not cloven hoofed animals, there are no restrictions in place with this foot and mouth outbreak?

Tell me about it!!!! Only thing is she'd rather spend it on clothes and make up! Have told her to put 5 quid a week away to help in the winter with hay etc. price of hay will be through the roof this year cos it'll be in short supply cos of the rotten weather...

Omar who I had from 10month old was supposedly a section d, I was hoping he wouldn't go over 15 and possibly stay about 14.2 so I could get on and off lol.He grew to a good 16 so I had to say bye bye, I did enjoy looking after him and he had the best start I could give him. He went to a lovely home who won't part with him.
It's great that your daughter is getting a bit of money towards the upkeep, it's an arm and a leg to keep just pleasure ponies (as I call them ) without the expense of the showing bit.

Show was good. Jess was riding someone else's pony, cos Jerry just had his back done so laying him off the jumping for a few weeks, just getting him fit again and working him gentle, although he's like a different pony at the mo, never seen him so collected!! So she was riding Buzz, Welsh section B, he's up for sale so they want him to get about a bit. Anyway, she came 3rd in Junior Best Rider, 10 in the class, so in good company. Then 3rd in ridden M & M, again in very good company, so all in all a good day. Saw a lovely Welsh section D, 14.3, probably make 15.1, only 4, and for sale soon. Unfortunately he's £3700 so we can't afford him (could just about afford one hoof at the moment) And she never wants to sell Jerry so can't have another one till she can pay for its rent herself! Buzz's owner pays her to ride her ponies though, only 15 quid a week but it all helps. She'd have done it fro free, but now she's getting paid for something she enjoys..

Hello everyone. Lovely sunny day here. Had a great weekend (apart from work on Saturday till 3.30). Went out for a curry on Saturday night, up at the crack of dawn yesterday for a horse show with Jessie, gorgeous sunny day all day, got back home at 7 and had some friends round for a barbeque to make up for the one we had in the rain last week.

And now its a lovely sunny day and I'm stuck in work till 4.30. Oh well....

Morning All
Lovely Sunny Day over here
Glad yesterday is over.
Son fell on trampoline, and couldnt't move his leg, so ended up at casualty.
No broken bones, but he cant walk on it, just twisted/sprained his knee.
He is still in pain and was crying in his sleep last night, but he wont even try to move it (although he can), and just cries everytime he wants to do something.
Sure he wil be ok by end of today though, he will want to do something and will move then.

Anyway how has everyones elses weekend been?

Good Morning,
Looks like we are getting a flag cracker of a day today, well I hope so anyway. The sun is out as I speak and the sky is cloudless, loverly............
No, you didn't miss much yesterday lugger was quiet, think people make the most of the good weather and who can blaim them?
Was dead chuffed to see that the minkie whale went back out to sea, do you know if his mum waited for him?
Jeeeez they reckon the foot and mouth case could have come from a nearby lab, the lab apparantly uses the certain strain for vaccines. Well lets just hope they have nipped it in the bud and get it sorted very quickly. It was so horrible last time and people are only just getting back on their feet after that.
Anyone got anything exciting happening today?

[LuggerBugs]

OOH. It was all quiet today. At least I didn't miss much.
