Waz 4,293 Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Just recovering for a horse related injury! My mates father in law runs the local horsey type club thingy, they had a show last Sunday, so I went along to take a young dog to socialise and a beer. Anyway, my mate has a broken hand and bruised ribs from moving some horse the week before, I should of learnt from his mistake then... Anyway, his father in law asks me to give him a hand in the show ring, a demonstration on how strong a pulling horse is, like a forestry horse. So theirs about 5 of us trying to hold this horse back and digging in tug of war like, well the fcuker took us for a right old ride cum drag. I was the last one hanging on stupidly.. next day the shins started to hurt, then the thighs, only just came right this afternoon. Id only agreed a few days before that my might can put some horses on my fields, think this is gonna end in tears. Although I do actually fancy doing a bit of riding out, how hard can it be? Go for it mate we got a arab here right little shitcunt you want to buy?? Lol You dont keep it at at Seamus' yard I suppose? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnasher16 31,490 Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 A hand is four inches gnash ... Get amongst your mates horses regularly you will soon feel comfortable around them ......I think its years of being ran into by big b*****d police horses at football has left a mental scar ! So if 1 hand is 4 inches why not just measure horses in feet and inches ?.....is it some sort of horsey etiquette or is there a clever reason ? I'm sure the horses will get over it with a bit of therapy ........ Charming......stick your clique up your arse then ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnasher16 31,490 Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Lovely looking animals horses but i must admit they put the shits up me a bit....a mate of mines wife does all that horse jumping malarky she go,s all over the country with them,beautiful clean graceful animals yet strong as f**k i dont trust them one bit she reckons you just cant treat them like pets and that they have absolutely no loyalty at all maybe its just because they are working horses i dont know......shes been chucked off,booted in the head,ribs crushed but the devotion she has to them is quite touching in a strange kind of way. I think this is probably true for the relationship with some competition horses but my experience with my horses is different. I have only ever had one at a time, bought them as youngsters, did all he training myself and ended up with horses I could trust with my life. Not one of them ever left me if I came off, or tried to get me off. I would go so far as to say they looked after me on occasion. I even went camping, shopping and to work with them and they never let me down. They dont strike me as a 1 man/woman animal really but im sure they are all different,my mates wife has 4 at the moment they are immaculately cared for and a lot of time go,s into them they just dont seem to bond with her it made me wonder what the attraction is for folk who dont work them in some way but i guess they all have their own personalities.............horses for courses i suppose Quote Link to post Share on other sites
