Today I rode Dolly bareback again.....

[HairyCob]

...and she was an absolute cow-bag!:rolleyes:

I attempted to take her for a short bareback hack, just up the drive, and she reverted to her previous self, napped, spun and reared... and I STAYED ON!!!:D :D :D

OK, I was bleeding profusely from my mouth where her neck made contact with my face, and not only spitting blood but profanities to turn the air Indigo, let alone blue, but I bloody stayed on:D :D

I confess that I did get off fairly soon after her tantrum, like within 30 seconds of getting her to stand still, but, get this, I took her to the school and GOT BACK ON:D

Inordinately proud of my not-so-nervous-nelly-any-more self!

Just had to share, and have finally remembered that I'm supposed to be in here with the 'matures':D

Edited to add: Does anyone know how to get bloodstains out of a grey pony?

[Colour_Crazy_Gi]

Well done!!! Naughty Dolly but well done you! Sorry, dont know about the blood-stain thing!

[Clare-22]

Oh well done HC! :eek: Hope your mouth isn't too sore. Naughty Dolly ;)

[Libbyo]

Poor you. But well done . You are very brave.Cold water I think will do the trick.

Libbyo :)

Ice cold water, bleach and a really hard scrubbing brush!!! :D

Naughty girl...

Could she be in season??

[Kalypso]

good on you for staying put! wow! I would have come off at the first twitch! :)

[BeachRiding]

Well done! What a naughty pony!

[Guest]

Naughty Dolly, bet you can't wait to get back in the saddle.

Any idea when that will be, I'm bugging Poohsmate to the point that I think he's rather annoyed.

Sorry small child syndrome.

[HairyCob]

Could she be in season??


Yup, without a doubt in or about to be Jane, but that's no excuse for her behaviour... she's perfectly capable of being a perfect lady whilst in season... although I suppose I should cut her some slack... I guess she may have had PMT and a headache;)

[Miriam]

Well done Claire for not giving into her :D

[domane]

I guess she may have had PMT and a headache;)
Well then I hope you gave her some chocolate and a hot water bottle??? :D

[HairyCob]

Nah, I gave her a couple of ibruprofen, a stilton ploughmans and a pint of larger shandy;) ;)

She's a cow-bag, but I still love her and I am really looking forward to having a saddle again:D :D

[domane]

Nah, I gave her a couple of ibruprofen, a stilton ploughmans and a pint of larger shandy;) ;)
The best cure-all in the west :D :D

[neen]

Blimey, well done HC. Hope this isn't going to be the next NR challenge -- to sit a rear bareback! :eek:

[HairyCob]

Splendid Idea Neen! Let's make it so!:D ;)

[Whatanejit]

Jeez! I can't keep track of your antics missus!

Defo excommunicated from the Nervous Nellie club - still welcome in the matures section whether you like it or not, I'm afraid:p

Well done you for sitting that monstrous situation - chin has only just lifted off the floor.

Delighted to hear about your saddle too.

Oh man. I remember that post night shift feeling - enjoy your drinkie!

We used to do 7 nights on, 7 nights off. The last morning we often headed out for a big breakfast. We started off gate crashing the posh London Hotels for breaky - it was our evening meal after all. We went to the Ritz, The Dorchester and the Savoy. Then a girl from the Eastend came to join us and reminded us of the pubs open in Smithfield meat market.
Then came the trend to go for sausage, egg, chips and a pint!! Oh, we slept well that day when we eventually got home!;)

Sorry to hijack your thread:)

Slainte.

Splendid Idea Neen! Let's make it so!:D ;)

Oh no! Fluke heard you! He's practising already! :eek: :eek:

Steady on, son, we haven't had pictures of "around the world" yet!

[HairyCob]

Oh, Dee, I've been searching for someone who understands my liking for a fry up with chips and extra onions, and a couple of pints at 7.30 am for a long, long time.....;)

Surely I'm not alone as a worker who enjoys a pint or two after a hard day's (nights!) work... I just happen to occasionally have mine at 7.30am instead of 7.30pm:D

But I digress, and YOU Dee, are responsible:p

Please can I have re-admission to the nervous nellies club? I have to start actually RIDING again soon... and not just up the lane, but in fields, and on roads and stuff:eek:

[Miriam]

[Whatanejit]

You disrespecting me?

[domane]

(By you staring, Dee?) :D

[horsey1]

:eek: well done:D omg did you have sticky bum jods on?? lol i would have slide out the back door :o

[NoviceNic]

Are you losing the plot. Bareback solo hacking. :eek: Check the bang on your head it may make you do more silly challenging things. :p :D

[Kalypso]

Oh, Please Mim, please let me back in, I promise not to ride out rears bareback again:o

Oi, now Claire! You should know better than to try and argue with scary mod-mim! She'll give you that evil mod-stare and you'll be done for! ;)

*runs to hide*

no, I haven't even been drinking...yet :o :D

[Miriam]

Oh, Please Mim, please let me back in, I promise not to ride out rears bareback again:o



hey not sure I fit in that category anymore :D


Have a feeling once we have progressed to where we are Claire that is it the doors are locked :D

Ok ok we may have to start a new one as there are still things I'm scared of :(



Oi CHRISTY stop scaring her. Seem to remember you got over that one pretty quick after meeting me :p

[Kalypso]

*runs away and hides* seeee, you just scared me there yelling at me ;) :D hehehe (only joking of course, she's not scary Claire (as I'm sure you know already!)! :D )

[Miriam]

I'm sure I have texted her enough times now to realise that I'm not :D

[HairyCob]

Nah, I'm not scared of you Mim, after all you live in the North East, and I live in Somerset, even you can't scare me from that distance... and if I ever hear a rumour that you're headed this way, I have the advantage over you.. I know the Mendip Hills pretty well, and I'd run for 'em and hide:p ;)

[Kalypso]

I dunno about that, Claire! She scared me and I was all the way in Ireland! :eek: ;) :D

[Miriam]

mmmm was once over the mendip hills. Wonder if I can find my way round them now 22yrs down the line :D


Claire I love Somerset and hope one day to revisit



lol christy :D

[poohsmate]

mmmm was once over the mendip hill.
