[Jeeves]

They were developed for endurance so you can wear trainers and your foot can't slip through :) I like how wide they are as well - nice and supportive under your feet - definately comfy!

[twigs]

daphi is lovley, your quite handsome too:p:rolleyes:

[twigs]

thanks!!!:D

[jordanross]

*blushes* thanks :)

daphi is far prettier though :) shes been such a good girl today i cant even tell you! she was a little mare when i was trying to get the bit in her mouth but she does this from time to time... she likes to try my patience! she must think im gonna give up ! LOL but apart from that she has been a complete star today! shes such a good girl for her dad :)

[xxxkristinaxxx]

I have added you too on facebook. Well done to you! You look like you are doing a great job with daphi :)

[jordanross]

thanks kristina! well i feel like im doing a good job with her! considering i havent any real riding experiance and the riding i did was about 15 years ago im doing ok.

daphi hadnt been ridden for the best part of two years and i was advised she would need re schooling ideally... but its like i said to my mate before...i trust this horse 110% she is keen.... but not silly... we had a fall a few days ago, she lost her footing and stumbled and i went flying off she stood on my hand and kicked me in the chest BUT.... it was unavoidable really, and she didnt run away or freak out she just stood there looking at me on the floor winded! LOL

my big plans now are to get to some sort of school as i dont have the facilitys here at home, and i feel i could become alot more advanced with my riding if i got to a school somewhere where i could give daphi a good work out and improve my riding...

[summercandy]

Daphi looks lovely.She looks really relaxed in the pics of you both out hacking. Daphi looks to be in pretty good condition,not too fat and not too skinny.She does however look a little under muscled but with your ambitions to get lessons and hire a school to work her in I am sure she will start to develop the muscle in the right places pretty soon. It is obvious from your pics that you have a good bond with Daphi.Nice to see a male rider who obviously cares a great deal for his horse:)

[Doeylicious]

Hooray proper piccies of Daphi!

Isn't she pretty! She has like four or five different shades of brown almost, she is lovely! Her bottom end looks a little under-muscled but you said you want to get her in a school and that will soon come, her chest looks quite nice and strong tho.

Be nice to see some vids of her moving if you have a willing friend, I bet she looks lovely on those long legs!

~cough~ put your hat back on :p You know me miss Health and Safety hehe!

[tetleyteabag]

Shes gorgeous:D another friend req on FB coming your way:p

[kitcat2]

She is lovely, you're doing well with her:D:D...though I have to say I frankly think it is stupid to have a hat and take it off while on a horse! Especially while on a road! Trainers and no high-viz are ok, especially as it looked like a nice sunny day but if you have it...use it:o *rant over*

[Hippyhorse]

indeedy, she looks lovely as ever, once you get her in the school I'm sure she'll come on even more, you both will. I love reading about your progress with her, it's so obvious how much you care for her, she is one lucky girk and I've added you on fb too!

[rubysmum]

oh i wondered what you both looked like & now i know - cuteness all round:)

[twigs]

oh i wondered what you both looked like & now i know - cuteness all round:)

here here!! lol:p

[jordanross]

ha ha thanx you guys :o

I agree she looks a little under muscled.... i guess its with her not being worked at all the past few years... Im hoping to change all that and make her into a super horse!

Ive changed alot of her diet around to try and give her alot more goodness where she needs it. hopefully that will help too! im working slow with her as ive not much experiance and dont want to burn her out or damage her.. so im taking the slowly slowly appraoch with her :) I hope it all pays off.. xxx

[Doeylicious]

[jordanross]

we had a really good/long trot today back down the road and its hard to explain but it felt so right... she moved really nicely, and the rytham was perfect ( for me anyway)

[haylekins]

Facebooked you 2

daphi lovely :D

[Murphley Moo]

Hey - gorgeous horse. Just sent you a friend request!

[lottie.dot]

Pictures are super, saw them on facebook... (however you did put ''throughbred'' and I think you meant thoroughbred.. lol)

Is that quite a busy road you have to ride onto straight away??


She is pretty good to go off aroun those roads solo, couldn't get mine to do that, that's for sure. Though come to think about it, I cannot get mine to do much of anything!!!

Anyway, best of luck.x

yes! VERY BUSY indeed especially early morning and rush hour! everyone drives through our village to get to preston or bolton.
i dreaded starting riding her out on that road...but shes a super star with it :)

thanks you guys for all your nice comments it makes all the hard work worth while :)yes

[kclarke]

daphi's beautiful!! making me miss my tb (he went to his new home on sunday:o)

[jordanross]

its V V V sad :( but i think you completley made the right choice! you thought about the horses welfare rather than your own, no matter how hard it was for you...... you put the horse horse first and thats always the best way :)

[kclarke]

thank you :D i might have to come steal daphi if i miss having a thoroughbred too much tho! and thank you for your FB comment, millie really is the sweetest wee thing ever, i have one VERY happy daughter!:D

[jordanross]

I bet your kinda proud too huh? :) sweet little girl you have! im sure they,ll make a great team!

[Kate&TheHerd]

nice pictures, shes looking lovely

[lobeliaoverhill]

She's looking very well these days Jordan! (I remember your first post on the other board ;) )

[kclarke]

I bet your kinda proud too huh? :) sweet little girl you have! im sure they,ll make a great team!

very VERY proud....she's only 4 1/2, but showing sooooooo much talent, that's why i was happy to swap my horse for one for her, she deserves it!! i'm sure we'll see her in horse and hound round the same time as you and daphi!

oooh, what have i missed? whats wrong with horse and hound? :D

There is NOTHING wrong with horse and hound. Jordan used to post on there and ended up using aweful language and being rude and nasty to alot of members on there and for doing so was banned, so now he slags the place off every chance he gets rather than just letting sleeping dogs lie.

[jordanross]

lets just say..... me and h&h dont mix! LOL


subject closed as far as im concerned :)

*yawn*

To be fair to JR he doesn't go on H&H looking for your posts to kick off on, and he's hardly sat here starting threads about how much he hates H&H. So why are you prowling around NR coming on his threads just for the sake of starting arguments? :rolleyes:

Jeeeesus, nobody here really cares what went on.. build a bridge and get over it!

I read the thread on HHO you refer to. Frankly I would have started swearing as well given the provocation he received from some of the members.

[Doeylicious]

Am I the only person on here who doesn't have a H&H alter ego?!

[x-Marmite-x]

She's looking lovely, in very nice condition - keep up the good work, sounds like you're being very sensible about her workload :).

Am I the only person on here who doesn't have a H&H alter ego?!

I don't :p - HHO scares me silly - I've taken a look on there about three times and (especially considering that NR classes me as a fluffy bunny :D) I wouldn't last five minutes on there :p!

well said AEB, I agree to. We all make mistakes, were not all perfect. ( well apart from me :p)

[Skippys Mum]

I'm perfect too Denbenj!

Vieshot is also perfect - a perfect little troll that keeps reappearing out from under the bridge looking to start fights:D

Jordan, she does it all the time, to all sorts of folk (very strange girl:confused:))- dont let her bother you. You and Daphi are looking well together:D

[kclarke]

ooops, sorry for bringing it up!! i've never been on HHO at all so..............lets just get back to saying how gorgeous daphi is:D

[YASMiN___X0]

I don't go on HHO, much prefer NR. Usually a very friendly place :D
Daphi looks lovely, JR :)

[Ace87]

Great pics - Daphi is gorgeous - if Quitus saw her I think he'd be quite taken by her! :D You guys sound like you're having a lot of fun! Well done to you - you're doing a great job!

a lot of people i know have had people be rude to them on horse and hound, he's entitled to his opinion. almost every post i see from you is negative, if you've got a problem with him saying something why not PM him rather than be rude on his thread?

[jordanross]

I was ONLY ride because certain members were rude to ME! in the first place. and thats my defence. not that it matters. i did get banned but i dont know why its such a big deal to you VIE???? think its time YOU got over ...i have

[BindyB]

Crikey Vieshot, you'll be chucking the poor guy in the village pond to see if he floats next! :rolleyes:

Give the witch hunt a rest yeah?



JR, I think you and Daphi look great together! Good on ya! :)

Easy peasy, take a deep breath. I dont care what he said on horse and hound, nor do I have an issue with him, he certianly never offended me with what he said on that, im so laid back im horizontal. I just LOVE horse and hound and dont need to hear that is makes him throw up is all, other than that is all cheesy smileys and rainbow kittens

[Melting Moments]

:eek:

fab photos as always.

[cinammontoast]

What a pretty horse!

Forgive me for thinking you were a girl, Jordan! Got both sexes at work with the name!

[OwnedbyChanter]

i love watching for your threads. She is awesome can't wait to see how you progress. dont let the nasty buggers get you down x

[Wally]

Right, that's eough, I don't give a monkey's what went on on HHO. What I did see was a lot orf rabble rousing going on on that site and links to NR being given encouraging folk from that site to come over here and bully Jordan Ross, for whatever reason.

Bullying on NR will not be tollerated, neither will rabble rousing and folk deliberatly putting up links inviting folk over to make trouble.

JordanRoss, my dear, I don't give two hoots over your footwear, but please, when you are up top, keep your hat on. It only takes a split second for poo to happen and if you fall you could do yourself a damage.

You have a very sweet mare by the looks of her.

[tabithakat64]

Having read your first posts on HHO, I think you've come a long way with Daphi, well done :D

[specaloo]

Am I the only person on here who doesn't have a H&H alter ego?!

I don`t!! & don`t intend to either!!! :D
Jordan....Daphi is sooo pretty!!! i added u too! Lol!!:p

[skips and soda]

Daphi is lovely! :) You seem to be getting on brilliantly with her.

[BlueWicked]

ahhh, am so glad wally has stepped in:D

jordan, ive said it before, you are doing a fab job:)

[jordanross]

Thanks wally! :) and thanks blue for reminding me about this thread LOL....


i know ive said this before but i wanna say it one last time and then it will be DEAD as far as im concerned.


I went onto that HORRID site when i first got daphi. I needed some help and advice. i did get some... dont get me wrong. but i soon found i was being ganged on by a bunch of nasty girls who seemed to enjoy poking fun out of the fact i was a novice with a tb. and basically called me not fit to burn. they didnt like it when my sewer mouth took over and i soon put them in there places :) and for which........im not sorry... those rotten b**ches had it comin.....

this site.......... is just brilliant! Ive been encouraged and supported and given so much advice. i really cant thank you all enough!

if i hadnt got banned from the OTHER site... i probably would of given up and sold daphi by now. but i feel ive come along way with her and i owe alot of that to just you guys supporting me... and telling me... its okay to make some mistakes... we all do. but we are fine now. i love daphi so much! and she loves me :) thanks everyone xxx

[Styric]

I was about to comment but you beat me to it!

What she said about the hat and the sweet mare, she's got soft kind eyes. You really did find a jewel in that mare.

[dessert_storm87]

Great photos :) She's lovely.

[rookierider]

Daphi is lovely, you clearly adore her too and try so hard for her. She must be delighted to have you as her dad and the trust with the laying down bit is something huge you have achieved too.

Good for you JR :) Don't let anyone spoil the fun you have with her for even a minute. Life is too short, grab every second with her and enjoy it.

Very inspiring jump thread by the way, after that got my 8 year old to give me a jump lesson over some weeny cross poles lol :) Only been riding a few years but decided it sounded a good idea too and time to have a go too. We survived. :D

[emmiejayne]

haha hope u dnt mind have added u on fb :D x

[hannah_xx]

awwww lovely pictures!
you both look great togther! :) x

[kestrel]

From what i can see, Daphi is one lovely looking horse & looks very content too. She's lucky to have a caring owner like you.
I think you're doing a damn good job as a newish horse owner & applaud the fact that you still ask for advice even if people have been negative before.
Here's to lots of lovely times for you & Daphi
x

[HotHoofs]

added you on facebook, i love bay tb mares :)

[*Goldfish*]

You must be the most popular horse and rider on NR. You're threads get sooo many replies!

Daphi is a cutie, you must be proud :):)

[joosie]

JR here's a few pics of my old share horse who was also a TB mare...

When I first knew her it was winter and she had been out of work, and she was a scrawny thing with an upside-down neck and no muscle to speak of -
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y45/joosie85/Kizzy/moreweight.jpg

After a few months of hacking, she was looking better but still had a bit of rounding up to do (note the shape of her hindquarters!) -
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y45/joosie85/Kizzy/hannahriding.jpg

By the spring she was looking much better and had put on some good condition -
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y45/joosie85/Kizzy/shinygrazing.jpg

There was no "secret" to improving Kizzy's condition. She didn't go on a special diet with expensive supplements. She didn't get lunged in draw reins or do any work in an arena. What she did do was gain condition by eating a lot of hay throughout the winter and doing a lot of hacking, including long trots up gentle hills - that is it. No secret involved!
TBs do tend to be on the lean side and in my experience they also change condition a lot throughout the seasons, maybe even more so than other breeds. I don't think Daphi looks that bad, nothing that can't be improved with regular work and plenty of food.

From the way you get treated by some people on here, you'd think we were only fit to be horse owners if we had lots of experience and never made mistakes or had difficulties. The truth is that horse owners are NOT superheroes, for most of them having their horse is a continuous learning curve that never really stops curving. In the "old days" it was common for people with little or no horsy experience to buy their own horse or pony and just "muddle along", making their mistakes and learning as they went. Apparently these days that's unacceptable :rolleyes:

Keep on keeping on, as they say, you're doing great :)

[jordanross]

Thank you for that joosie i appreiciate it! :)

I am tryintg to add a little more to daphis work too as i know quite a few have said she needs some muscle at the back and i agree. s for food. I think ive got that sorted now and with extra hay in the field... and some pink powder as a back up too... we should be seeing some results ( i hope) LOL x

[JustJas]

Loved the piccies except the one when your hat was off...

[pharoah]

Great photos. Ignore the mean comments from others. If people want to give you constructive criticism they'll do it in a nice way.:)

[stressy]

Lovely looking horse, your doing the right thing by asking people for advice and things, its these so called know it alls that are really dangerous (not aimed at anyone btw, just my personal experience!) You can never know enough about horses IMO :)
