Golden Oldie Update

[Bobbin]

In light of ChickyD's thread I thought I would post an update for those of you that remember me and anyone else who may be interested. I have only been a member since 2006, actually probably 2005 but under an old name, anyway, not sure that really makes me that much of a golden oldie but hey ho.

Anyway, I still have Bryony, despite various mutterings of loaning her so I could get a youngster or a slightly bigger allrounder. I think I am finally at peace with what I have in Bryony. She is still a mardy old moo and still tries to rip my arm off when I tack her up and do up her girth. She still stomps around like a demented elephant and likes to gallop everywhere. So whats changed, she has always been like this....well, I had a baby in January and I am now thanking my lucky stars I have such a reliable fun pony who doesn't need bringing on or constant work but is always waiting to be my companion when I can find time in my hectic life to ride her. I do get to ride approx 3-4 times a week so its not quite dire just yet!!

I moved to a new yard a few months ago and was very lucky to have some friends move to. From my point of view withg my new hectic schedule I can now hack out for an hour and every ride I go on has fab canter stretches and normally there is no que for the school should I decide to stay in as we have 2 of them.

I am hoping to get back out and do a bit of winter dressage with Bry, just for fun really, time providing ofcourse!!

Anyway, some pics of my girlie.

Bryony is 15yrs old, going on 4! Annabel is 7 months old, cannot wait to get her on a pony, although OH sat her on Bry this evening and the old moo bag bit me....TWICE!!

I love bryony - I remember lots of your older updates. I missed the you're pregnant one though! :o but congratulations!! :)

I just wanted to say that dependable fun ponies are unbeatable!!! :cool:

[colleen&val]

i love to hear of horses with personality :D

congrats on the baby :)

Bry is as lovely as ever! She isn't mardy, she has a quirky personality.:D

[Harlequin32]

Ah she's lovely I was expecting her to be about 30 though!
15 is not old at all and like you say when you have a child to consider aswell better have a trustable (in some ways ;)) horse then something you have to ride daily or take your life in your hands next time you get on!
Congratulations on the baby- how are you finding looking after a horse and little baby? I found it a nightmare but i know lots of people who thought it was a breeze!- hope your one of them!

:Congratulations on the birth of your baby.Bryony is lovely and she isnt old at 15.Sounds like a nice yard you have moved to and you are having fun.:)

Haha, it's a bit of a personal joke about Bry being a mardy old cow, she's still got plenty of go in her, trust me.

It's tough having a horse on DIY with a job and a baby but we'll manage.

Nice to hear from you :) Sounds like your new yard and Bryony are just right for your needs at the moment - must be busy having a baby and a horse!
