How about we collate them and put them on Kindle when we have some more, so that people can download them all for say £1 and the 70p profit goes to the IHDG charity? We can advertise the 'book' on H&H, Facebook and other forums. What do you think?

"Shall I compare thee to a welsh mountain pony? Thou art more lovely and more temperate: Rough winds do shake the darling wisp of your mane, And summer's lease hath all too short a date".
I will speak spurs to her, but use none .....

These are fantastic!! And brilliant idea Catrin! I am on the case. How about we try to get fifty quotes? Just think, it might storm the world like What Every Man Thinks About Apart From Sex well okay, perhaps not quite as good as a book with 200 blank pages, which you can translate into different languages!

Great idea Catrin, I also think the expressive faces thread could be a downloadable book some of those photos & captions are side splitting

The oats is come full circle. If horse be the food of love, ride on. The stable is empty and all the ponies are here

All the world’s a paddock, And all the mares and stallions merely players; They have their exits and their entrances, And one horse in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages. At first the foal, skipping and prancing at his mothers side; And then the boisterous youngster , with his freedom curtailed And shining coat, bucking and dancing Unwillingly to school. And then the novice, bumbling like a fool, with woeful balance glorious to his mistress’ eye. Then a supreme master Full of grace, and the beauty of elegance, Proud in honor, sudden and quick in movement, Seeking the bubble reputation Even in the Arena's gate. And then the Schoolmaster, In fair round belly with good and generous disposition, With eyes gentle and kind in formal cut, Full of wise saws and modern instances; And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts Into the lean and retiring years, With grey on nose and slab like side; His youthful rugs, well saved, a world too wide For his shrunk shank; and his big manly chest, Turning again toward yearling stance And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all, That ends this strange eventful history, Is second youth and mere oblivion, Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.

All the world’s a paddock, And all the mares and stallions merely players;… And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all, That ends this strange eventful history, Is second youth and mere oblivion, Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything. Well I've started on the collation. This is definitely number 50. If we only get 25, I'll just put the original Shakespeare text on one page and the IHDG on the next. Garry's is number 1.
