You are a good dad mC teaching the youngsters with proper dogs. Just don't let them turn to the dark, sandy side later on. 👍🙂.

When he’s here, he’s with the dogs and horses.

His family don’t like dogs , but the Prince that sponsors him has Jack Russells and one of his uncles has dogs, so he’s around them . He loves our chihuahua and says it’s his dog, but he doesn’t like the Deer x as he says it’s hyper !

Its a bit of a myth that Arabs don’t like dogs, I worked for a Saudi sheik that had lurchers that Peter Stringfellow sent him from the queens kennels in Sandringham and also bred Rottweiler and Border Collies. I was gifted a saluki many years ago and when it died he sent me a Doberman to replace it, which I brought home and even gets a mention in one of Darcy’s books, so don’t believe all you hear about about Arabs and dogs ! 
I don’t like a dog in the house, mine are kennelled apart from the wife’s chihuahua, same with the Arabs; dogs not in the house.

Cheers.

I’ve got loads of videos of him riding his horse, trotting , cantering and galloping, on the lunge and riding free, my hearts in my mouth but he’s confident ! His instructor must worry more than me because he’d be thrown in jail if anything bad happened ! LOL !

I got three of them 12ah batteries off Joe Ox well over 10 years ago, I think I gave him a dozen hen or ducks eggs for them LOL !

Two of them are still 100% effective, I’ll not be paying £100 for a lithium while the young p***y I lamp with will carry the old lead/acid batteries! LOL !

Cheers.
