Thanks for the warning Andy, you're right it's always good to be aware of the possibility of random screws...

More sex- if being a red head.....is that true for both men and girls?? never tried one myself....

I went out with a red head years ago Split up in the end which was very sad at the time BUT I ran into him in a pub a while ago and he was almost completely BALD!!!! He'd grown up!!!! He looked like . . . well. He looked like somebody's uncle, not the rather tasty, long-haired, pretty boy I remembered!!! Lucky escape really.

BTW I think it was natural red heads who got more sex.

well I get my fair share, not complaining...(about the amount of sex) I think women dont generally have a problem in that area.....
chestnut and palomino, well with horses i think you can get either a pally or a chestnut, but if you put a cremello to a chestnut you get a pally....hmmm Is a cremello horse the equivalent of a albino human???
Finn- hehehe yeah that was a narrow escape, thank god though that somebody that you have dumped/being dumped by havent grown into something super sexy and you end up berating yourself for loosing out hehehe

Ah, lovelylace. Most blokes don't seem to improve with age! It's a bit depressing, actually. There used to be literally thousands of beautiful boys around, but 20 years on and where are they? You look around at all these 30/40 somethings on the train with their blue shirts and grey suits and thinning pates, all of them with a phone to their ear going 'Well, I was just talking to Chloe and it occured to me that the annual report....' What happened?

Obviously not enough schooling being done ( adopts casual stance that shows off muscular legs & thighs clad in jods & chaps) or mucking out. Must be a low level regime of stable management

LOL, boys!
Mine's verging on laminitis but naps horribly at the merest thought of schooling. Not too keen on hacks either, even in company....

Sounds as though you need to make the schooling more interesting -with something rewarding at the end if performance warrants it. For flatwork I understand that there are some variations on polework that are sure to; maintain interest engage the hindquarters improve impulsion

Not quite sure - apparently it is up to the jockey to make key decisions - would this come under join up, and if so would you be able to use a wip-wop rope ?

i think it is important to keep thework varied,, I do keep mine fit, but then again i am quite a demanding rider pole work is essential, but I also find that working in a group does wonders for them, the inital loss in concentration is soon replaced by a healthy keeness to please and a bit of competition soon gets their juices flowing.... it is also important to work them correctly at all times otherwise wrong muscle development will occur and also you can start finding issues with their behaviour...

Being a demanding rider do you ever find a reluctance to leave the stable? With group working how do you overcome the temptation to "race away" from the others? What experiences have you had regarding behavioural issues and what was the cure? Do you ever try different jockeys to see if you can spot anything from the ground - so to speak. Some groups also advocate the flming of schooling sessions to cure bad riding, is this part of your approach?
