Yesterday My horse was killed when it ran out on to the road and my other mare was in a right state like I was.

Ray came out calmed my mare down gave me some solace and comfort as I was distrought and he helped me arrange things today.

Ray travelled out to me on two days and did not charge me he told me at a time like this us Horse people look after each other like in in a herd and would not take any money despite my insistance

How Cute is this ?

I can't remember where I came across this pic, but it appeared on my screeen saver this morning.

It's got to be one of the cutest horse pics ever.

Can you imagine waking up on Christmas morning and finding her under your tree?

Every young girls dream.... Excellent !!

Fidgit my amazing little mare

Hi this is Fidgit my stunning welch section D cross Arab, she's 15hh and 14 years old.

She's a very pretty elegant mare with a great presence and spirit about her, which I'm often been told by people as she really knows how to show off.

Although she's now 14 she thinks shes about 6, as when i got her she was nearly 10, unbacked and still in the field with her mum, i've now become mum and we've formed an amazing bond and trust between the two of us.

She's an absolute joy to own and i would'nt swap her for the world, i've owned other horses in the past and know what we have together is somthing very special.

We both love hacking out, alone or with lots of friends. She thinks schoolings way too boring unless there's jumps involved, this is were Fidgit really excels herself.

She loves jumping, especially cross country and totally trusts me, never refusers and will have a go at anything. We have the perfect partnership as i love jumping and she defenatly sences this.

As you can see in the picture she has a powerful, big, bold, jump.

The middle photo is Fidgit ( "Welch Diva" show name ) and i after winning the novice show jumping which was Fidgits first ever show.

You can watch Fidgits winning round on this video. It was a very windy day which unfortunatly can be heard on the video (sorry).

Thank you for reading about my super little mare Fidgit. Please let me know what you think of her. Regards Sheila.

My Wonderful Winnie

Winnie is my big warmblood thoroughbred cross, who's rising six and standing 16.3hh.

She's the cheekiest, nicest, full of character horse who, because of her size, scares everyone else around her. A real gentle giant.

Winnie loves other horses and is always up for some fun.

She's still just a baby but is coming on really well.

We've done some dressage, some jumping and some showing and Winnie loves to jump, although she also likes to get dressed up.

As you can clearly see she is the most beautiful horse in the whole world.

Like most big horses she loves children and has lots of little friends like Elizabeth who give her far too many treats.

You can see more photos of Winnie in the Lincolnshire Image Gallery where Jodie rides her in the showjumping and I ride her in the showing and dressage classes.

I'd love to know what other riders think of her or what you think she'd be best suited to ?
