bigbird Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 I bet you can relate to this! Why do I like horses?I reckon I must be mad.My mother wasn’t horseyAnd neither was my dad.But the madness hit me earlyAnd it hit me like a curse.And I’ve never gotten betterIn fact I’ve gotten worse.My stables are immaculate.My house is like a hovel.Last year for my birthdayI got a brand new shovel.I hardly read a paperBut I know who’s sold their horseAnd I wouldn’t watch the newsIf Mr. Ed was on, of course.One eye’s always on the heavensBut my washing waves in vainAs I rush to get the horses inIn case it’s gonna rain.And though they’re wearing 15 rugs,The best that you can get,I bring them in to keep them dryWhile I get soaking wet.I spend up every cent I’ve gotOn horsey stuff for sure.I buy fancy rugs and fancy rugs,And then I by some more.I should have had that hair cutOr bought that nice blue shirtAt least it wouldn’t be nowRipped to shreds and in the dirt.I can’t make a bloody sponge cakeI don’t even tryBut I can back a car and trailerIn the twinkling of an eye.It’s pants and R.M. bootsThat I live in night and dayAnd that smell of sweaty horsesJust doesn’t wash away.Once in every. now and thenI can dress up for a ball.Make up and a hairdoWith high heel shoes and all.I ache from long forgotten falls.My knees have got no skin.My toes have gone a funny shape.From being squashed again.But late at night, when all is stillAnd I’ve gone to give them hay,I touch their velvet softnessAnd my worries float away.They give a gentle nickerAnd they nuzzle through my hairAnd I know it’s where my heart isMore than anywhere.

She now would very much like to return to it all but we just need some job security for her first. I know it will make her very happy to get back into it also.

neil3728 Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Yep same boat here. But while she is at the horses I can sneak off shooting, so all works out in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ack-ack Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 Me and the ex used to race a pointer. Used to scare the bejesus out of me watching her going round as he always managed to pitch her off at some point. Much more enjoyable watching her getting her finery on to qualify him hunting. Blazer, jods, hair net, chuffing hell!!!!! That nag was worth every penny!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigrob Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Years ago I was working on an old cottage near Cheltenham when a lady on horseback rode by and her horse had a serious sweat on. I said - my god your horse looks hot - and she said - I would imagine if you had been between my legs for 3 hours you would have a sweat on to!!!

rimfire4969 Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 (edited) We have in the last month sold our two ponies as my eldest daughter is doing gcse's this year. So she decided to sell hers (called hers but my money)as she will not have as much time as he deserves. I was very proud of her choice to sell him. He was a big part in out lives for 4 years, and we were all in tears when he went to his very nice new home. The other one to my mate soi we can still she him whenever we want. Two things I have noticed in this last month, one we have more time, two I have fatter wallet. Edited July 25, 2013 by rimfire4969 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
