No havent done anything really,just a few hunts and hacking,shes 7 ive had her 2 years.she`s on trial at her new home now til thursday,hopefully she`ll behave and they will keep her as ive lost my confidencethe hunt in pic,i fell and got my foot stuck in stirrup scared the hell out of me i think that was the start of it

What a shame she looks to have a nice kind eye as well - miss mine like crazy!!!

Nice kind eyes but a hot head and stubben streak and a liking for a 180 degree rear!

I had one like that he was an ex racehorse lovely looking animal but an absolute bathplug did a bit of hunter chasing with him but sold him on as if the horse in front fell he would stop he didnt like being a front runner hence why he was sold out of racing I guess!!!!

I had a love of chestnut mares find a good one and they would give you the earth twice over to please, the last mare I had was chestnut/white skewbald and she was wonderful.

she was a typical tb chesnut mare! very pretty and very well bred,cost me quite a bit,she needed more than i could give,i think i overestimated my abilities when i bought herin the end i was to scared to handle her on the ground! i used to be so confident,would get on ANYTHING!!now i can just about handle my daughters 12.2 dartmoorlooking for a excercise cart now for her to do the quieter things for a while....

That is a great pastime we used to have a cob x hackney ride and drive real good fun and a few of us used to get together on a weekend and go on a pub crawl

Its brilliant i used to have a dartmoor gelding,we used to all go out in the cart,really miss it.Just got to find a good resonably priced one nowapparently toffee`s done it before,i think she`ll be good.also amys outgrown her and got a new pony,so will do her good to be busy.

Have been hunting just the once think I was 9 did not know a thing about hunting.But the thought of a couple of hours of free riding ,what 9 year old would not take the offer up.have never did it again.......dont agree with it.
