    Horseback pub crawl was amazing, only slightly embarrassed when Captain stole a bottle of bright pink bacardi breezer off a tray and downed it:o I was frantically trying to get it out of his mouth, but he was determined and wouldn't let go until most of it was down his throat and rest down me....

    A lady down at the yard gave me a very expensive burgundy and grey rug for Captain as it doesn't suit her horse's colouring :confused: I suggested, very quietly, well whispered:D "you could put it on ebay" she replied that ebay was for common people:eek: So I said thank you very much and accepted it (the rug is worth a lot and excellent quality) Am now wondering how to break it to her that her horse's black watch tartan rug makes him look sallow.....

    Captain looks very handsome in burgundy, actually he's colour blind, don't tell him....

    Hello tigzem! The pub crawls are fab, actually, they're really more canter/gallops which shakes up the cider nicely :rotfl:

    I would miss riding horribly, and the social life that comes with it. As long as I can bust this debt I hope to be able to continue until I'm a very old lady indeed :D

    lucielle for that rug I can be as common as you like! I have no pride, you know how expensive they are....

    Glad you boy is getting better, it's always worrying when something's wrong with them.
