    You could have a domestic/Car emergency to avoid going without offending?

    I feel your pain, I loathe horse shopping.

    I think I might. See what DD says. It was when the owner said we'll take her for a hack first as that's what she's done most of. It is already not what we're looking for.

    Yikes to the hound issue. I think that made the national news ...

    LOL. Hound jumped the big fence and toddled off home. Hunt Kennels couldn't care less.

    Cancelled horse viewing. Too many negatives before we started.

    I've sold another thing on eBay.

    Feeling so guilty. My smallest and sweetest guinea pig leapt out of my hands and fell about 10 inches and bashed her foot. She seems ok now, but the guilt!!

    hope gp is ok. I hate horse shopping too... no one seems able to tell the truth. Shame I am too far away ... know a very nice skewbald irish sport horse type 16.1 for sale. Only 7 but done a bit of everything and a very competent jumper. been hunting. Trust the person selling. Is in H&H and on their website this week.
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!

    She is running around and climbing so I think she is OK.
