Just wondering what you are thinking about doing in the coming year with your pones, whether it be more of the same happy hacks and comps' or new horizons. We're carrying on the SJing leagues up to 60s by winter, doing some combined training (Faelen not me!), hacking as many miles as we can including the beaches, boxing more and looking out for Le Trec or long distance events when the season starts IF Faelen can come as my partner as she's ready for obstacles and control of paces alone now. Have a stunning loan pony in mind if we outgrow by the year's end and a super loan for Bambi if we can stand to let her go. Pic... Us yesterday... Faelen judged my dressage from her pony... she's vile! Attachments:

Getting the ponies out and about more and competing hopefully doing a few county workers with the connie
Want to sell the young highland as she needs a home where she can do a job now She is absolutely bomb proof and will make a super family pony but she is still very young

1. Get Marjorie to advanced endurance status.
2. As part of the above, go and compete at the Golden Horseshoe
3. Show her at the Devon County
4. Start planning for summer 2014 when I am aiming to do a month-long unsupported ride around the south west.
Really, 2013 is going to be The Year of My Horse, as the last couple of years have been about sorting myself and my career out.

Hack Arizona out on the roads. Couldn't do it at the old yard as the roads were way too busy but at my new yard there are loads of quietish country lanes and people to hack out with. We've had a couple of solo mini hacks and he's been fine so 2013 we're going to get out there.

ooh great question Kanga.
Just reflecting on 2012 as well, I wanted to go hunting for the first time and to lose 2 stone and I have just scraped past both milestones! So hope for similar fortune in 2013, with plans to -
1. Find Harry a really wonderful new home
2. Get Lily out hunting and on pleasure rides
3. Keep working with Xas and keep him soft and easy to handle so he can stay entire for another year.
4. Not buy any more rugs... or boots .... or jods... I DONT NEED EM!

more hacking in general as I feel we didn't get about much this summer. Perhaps a couple of winter trec days. And prelim dressage by summer, but we have to improve the canter impulsion before we can do that so work to do.

I can't make too many plans as Antares is so young we will just be taking things at his pace. I have sat on him a few times but haven't ridden away yet so that is job no. 1
I doubt we will aim to do any comps next year but we might go to a few shows to wander about. I hope to get hacking out confidently on our own and do some basic schooling

Plans?  Are they legal for horses? We all know what happens when we make too many plans..... |

Lovely to have things to look forward to.
I hope to come out of winter with a lovely svelte cob (well that will never happen!). I'd love to carry on with his dressage education and do a couple more prelim tests, but my main ambition is to take him out and try some cross-country, which as far as I know he's never done before but I think will love it. But overall hoping for a happy healthy horse with lots of quality time together doing our fave thing - hacking!

Well... I don't like to plan ahead with Lena, as she ruins all my plans, so I take each day as it comes with HER. (Shush... Whisper.... I would like to get her back into ridden work Feb time) Plan to loan out Star if I can find the right home, otherwise she's staying with me. Planning to help find good home for friends pony, so that'll be one horse down, maybe two. Daughter is getting a new horse next summer, provided she passes her GCSE's and gets good grades. So those of you you have anything suitable for Summer 2013, about 15.2-16hh, that can jump 3ft9 XC fences and SJ and dressage, basic all rounder PC eventer type. Would love a barefoot eventer if I could find one, but most of them will probably be already shod, and won't change that straight away as daughter can't lose time off riding in order to go barefoot when we have a busy summer with events and pony club and stuff. Plan is to only have 3 horses Winter 2013, not 4 like I have this yr. I do find 4 is a nicer number than 3 to be honest, but now I have horses in neighboring field, it's not so bad worrying about one left behind in field. So I have plans to try and loan one out (could never sell her as she's been with me 13yrs), and get another one....so anyone looking for 14.2hh been there done that got the t-shirt, ex pony club pony, good in traffic and virtually bombproof 20yr old (will be 21 on 10th May 2013) next summer, let me know...only local loans please. She is barefoot, seen pigs, cows and sheep and unfazed by it all. She would prefer a lightweight mature lady to plod around with and look in peoples back gardens with  as she rides round the village. She has a slight touch of arthritis on near hind but has been best kept ticking over. Her ideal home is someone who just wants to enjoy themselves and get out and admire the scenery together (and munch on the occasional grass if she can have a break lol) |

Well its taken me four years at last i have had my back operated on 22nd of November and i was kicked out of hospital on the 28th of November.. 6 days ....
They decided they would remove a disk and replace it with a wire cage and going in both back and front they attached bone graft each side.
It was called Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion and posterior instrumentation
Ouch feel like i have 24 double decker buses parked all over my body ...
Well fingers crossed that in the future I will be able to at least sit on a horse ... hopefully walk trot and canter x would love to be able to dressage again..
Has anyone else had this operation and are you riding again
I meet a lady in hospital who had the same operation as me but 4 days later x She told me her daughter had this operation when she was 15 and she is riding again and jumping etc xx mmmm i could dream xxx
