Piedmont - the journey always seems shorter if you've been there before!! I know exactly what you mean - I'm in a similar boat as you training and experience wise and on occasion I've helped my eventer friend with her horse. She just does not want to commit to doing all those transitions and figures...

Rosie B

Jingles!!! You deserve something fun and uncomplicated to ride!!!

Rosie B

Thanks Dresseur! Great explanation.

Rosie B

No pony home yet! Nor Bliss... we've put off the move til next week because my older son has pneumonia (found out this am). But next week I'll have some more pony pics!!

Rosie B

You are such a trooper! Enjoy your trip!!

Rosie B

Also late to this but JINGLES Chancellor!!!

Rosie B

Oh dear. Hope your posterior portions recover quickly!!!

Baaaaad Walker!

Rosie B

Thanks guys.

She's with us on a free lease at least until August.

Rosie B

Hello Team :D After a winter spent mostly laying low playing with my boys while Bliss was in the living care of my friend, I am ready to get back in the saddle regularly!! Bliss is coming home on Thursday, and he's not coming alone!!! Say hello to Princess. Princess is 11.1 hands, 20 years old, and ...

I am absolutely incredulous that a man that was recorded as having said that women like it when you grab them by the p&ssy is now the president of the United States.

Maybe Chris Brown should consider running next time.

Good luck to you, and to us all.

Rosie B

Whoops! It's the third photo in the set that is one of our members here on the DDBB.

But I love the mammoth costume!!

Rosie B

Hi guys

I was looking at the nice photos of horses and riders dressed up for Halloween over on COTH and came across this one:

Apologies if this has been posted already, but unless I am very much mistaken, this is one of our own.

Rosie B

Yoda is VERY handsome. I know nothing about showing dogs but I like what you're wearing. It looks much more practical and utilitarian than a hot pink skirt suit.

Rosie B

I love her!!! And you guys look perfect for each other. I am so glad you gave her a chance. Can't wait to hear more about your journey.

Rosie B

I am so sorry khall. That totally blows. You did not need that.

. Hugs to you.

Rosie B

I think anyone that has been told that their riding is so unpleasant that someone can't watch would be hard pressed to NOT take it personally. If someone said that about YOUR riding that you had posted because you were feeling good about it and wanted to share, would you consider it a "training...

Rosie B

The opportunity to have a respectful conversation about training was a boat that sailed with the very first reply on this thread.

Rosie B

MC, I don't think it's entirely fair to say that this group only appreciates comments of the "you look lovely" variety. There have been lots of instances that I have read (here) where people have very politely offered suggestions that have been well received and at the very least considere...

Rosie B

Shirrine, I'm sorry you've received some rather harsh criticism of your, and your trainer's riding, as well as of your lovely pony's way of going. I thought some of the comments were in extremely poor taste given that you didn't ASK for a critique and were clearly posting because you felt proud of t...

Rosie B

Thank-you all very much for your well wishes!! Kai is growing like a weed. Just found out today he's put on 13oz in the past 7 days!! I am not particularly strong or tough... I was blessed both times with very healthy pregnancies and this time got to have a natural birth and was lucky enough to have...

Rosie B

Dresseur, you and Miro look great as always! Here's the video from yesterday. Lots of warts but I'm sharing (unedited) anyway. I am happy with some of it. I think he's showing better self carriage, more honest connection at times, and more power. Of course I'm all over the place lol. Let me know wha...

Rosie B

Thank-you all so much for your well wishes with Kai's arrival. He is doing wonderfully and Max is being amazing with him. I finally got around to posting some photos in the obs lounge. And I've accomplished my goal for this session - I got back in the saddle!!!! I rode today. It was absolutely wonde...

Rosie B

And the icing on the cake is.... I rode today!!! Bliss was perfect and I felt great. Woohoo!!!

Rosie B

And one of the proud big brother holding the new baby...

Rosie B

Hi guys, As some of you know, I was due with Baby B no. 2 on October 7th. Baby Kai arrived at 1:52 on October 6th, after 18 hours of labour, weighing in at 6 lb 13 oz. I managed to avoid a c-section this time around, for which I am profoundly grateful. :) He's now 10 days old and is doing wonderfull...

Rosie B

Boudicea and Mountaineer, those are lovely stories. Thank-you for sharing.

Rosie B

Bless you.

Rosie B

Lovely pics Flight! Ding looks super. Sitting up makes such a big difference. I love the first photo, the light is gorgeous!

Chisamba and kande - your photos are lovely. We've been having a beautiful fall here and it looks like you are as well!

As always I enjoy reading everyone's updates.

Rosie B

They are all gorgeous but I love the first one.

Rosie B

I have a ton of recipes for things that freeze well. Most of them come from the America's test kitchen "Best make ahead recipes" cookbook. I'd highly recommend that to anyone looking to stock their freezer. Their book "best make ahead meals" is also excellent. I recently filled m...

Rosie B

Hi guys, Off topic a bit but it seemed appropriate to post it here. Baby Kai arrived safe and sound today after nearly 18 hours of labour and I have very minimal damage so hope to be back in the saddle soon. Older brother Max (2.5) has stepped into his new role beautifully and I'm very proud. :) I c...

Rosie B

Hopefully this will be the 8 week session where I can get back in the saddle!!! If that happens I will be thrilled.

Baby has yet to make an appearance though so for now I am just waiting.

Bliss continues to thrive with my western trainer:

Rosie B

That must be extremely gratifying!

I'm with Paula - I'd love know more about him and to see some pics!!

Rosie B

Shirrine - he is gorgeous!!! AND he's my favourite colour.

I hope you have a ton of fun with him and I can't wait to see more!

Rosie B

Thanks guys - this was ridiculously fun. I should also note, my helmet is due to be replaced this year so it's not like I am risking a brand new helmet. :) Also, I tend to be fairly conservative when it comes to bling. I much prefer a subtle look where there is low contrast between the colour of the...

Rosie B

And here is the other browband (the flat white and silver braid one), before and after.

Rosie B

Hi guys :) I thought I'd share my latest little project with you. I took a break from showing this year while growing human baby number 2 (expected any day now) but am looking forward to returning to the show ring next year. I have been very much wanting to update our look, but haven't got the funds...

Rosie B

Rye - Riot looks great!! His tempo seems to have slowed yet he has more freedom in the shoulder. Good work!! Enjoying everyone's updates as always - Mountaineer - congrats on going for it!! Flight - your youngster is looking lovely. And congrats on the good show with Ding! Dresseur - lovely as alway...

Rosie B

Congratulations capstone! You must be absolutely thrilled. Cartier looks smashing both in his warmup gear and his show 'clothes'. :) Moutaineer - if you're crazy for looking up other people's show results then so am I. ;) I always find it super interesting because I like to know how everyone's doing...

Rosie B

Ok, I missed that post Flight... that must be terrifying!! Hope he's ok!!!!

Quick update - We moved Bliss to his new home for the next three months on Saturday. He was a very good boy and settled in very quickly. After letting him chill for a bit I longed him in the arena and the free-roaming donkey (Sophie) marched right up to say hello. Bliss was initially totally shocked...

Rosie B

Well thanks for distributing your extras capstone!! The things you sent on to new homes were all lovely and I'm sure the new owners are super appreciative.

I am just sorry I was late to the party because I loved the polos and the saddlepads!!

Rosie B

This is a bit off topic but I can testify to that Wicky. I rode 3 mornings a week before work at 5:00 am in my (dark) outdoor arena from September of last year until mid-March of this year using only my headlamp and the moon when it was out. Bliss never had an issue. After the first week, he wasn't ...

Rosie B

Woohoo!!!!! SF - That is a HUGE milestone!!! Congratulations!

The first time I sat on Bliss was bareback as well.

Dresseur - you guys look fabulous as always.

Rosie B

a couple more (and sorry for the double post).. seems I can only put 3 pics in a post.

Rosie B

Hi Guys :) I am enjoying reading everyone's updates as always! Byrdie - very interesting analysis of your scores. :) I did that too once and it was very illuminating. I am continuing to work Bliss at least twice a week. I had hoped for more but hubby and I are finishing our upstairs renovation and t...

Rosie B

redsoxluvr, are you me?? LOL. After doing a ton of research on DIY homes, Hubby and I built our house in 2010 using a timberframe and SIP kit. We did almost all the labour ourselves. It took us about 8 months before we could move in (with both of us working full time throughout the process). We boug...

Rosie B

Go Cartier!!!

That was lovely to see.

You should be a very proud momma!!!

(And I have serious facility envy!)
