what breed is ector and walle

Ector's a Trakehner X some kind of other warmblood
Wall's is an irish sports horse

Why wouldnt you let any of them except polly and Cara and ride ector? I thought you always say mae should ride him?:P

Haha I tease Mae about it! He'd have to have been turned out, lunged and ridden and have me leading him for me to trust him with Mae haha.
He's too unpredictable and has a reputation so it would be silly to let anyone ride him who I didn't think would be capable. :)

whats your yard schedule like?

Differs depending on whether I'm working or not and it's long to type lol

Worst quality in yourself?

Interesting question... Probably that I'm quick to a temper but it isn't like a rage-fest scream in your face fight you temper (at least not all the time lol) but more of a switched off, shut down, dismissive kind of temper - I also have a long memory for when something has upset me.
So that, or the fact that I'm hopeless with remembering plans

favourite songs at the moment?

Too many haha I do a lot of bumbling around with headphones in and ignoring people

What's your worst habit when riding?

On the flat I'm definitely guilty of doing too much with my legs but that's a work in progress, as Wall-E and Ector improve so will that. Jumping wise, on Wall-E it's definitely interfering at the last minute on the approach, on Ector it's not supporting his inside shoulder which means he occasionally runs through my inside leg and shoots off.. not good lol!

what bits do the horses you ride the most wear?

Ector has a full cheek snaffle with a waterford mouth piece, I kind of hate it
Wall's has a sweet iron loose ring snaffle with a lozenge, he also has a baucher with the same mouth piece but I ride him in the loose ring for everything
Razor has a baucher sweet iron with lozenge

my horse gets really strong going into a canter and throws his head up before bolting off. do you think a gag would help me control it?

I doubt he's bolting off, probably just tanking a bit on being heavy on your hands. But if he's lifting his head then no a gag won't actually be much help. Contrary to popular belief, gags are actually elevators that raise the head. It might help you stop him setting his neck against but you said strong going INTO canter which makes me think that you just need to school him a lot more so I'd say get someone experienced where you keep your horse to help you if you're struggling

if you could choose to unmeet anyone, who'd it be?

I've been thinking about this one for a little while and I don't think I'd actively choose to unmeet somebody. If I had to, it would be someone who'd made little to no impact on my life and is largely irrelevant because in all honesty I kinda like who I am right now and I'm guessing that unmeeting people would alter that so yeah #contemplative

if you could rewatch any tv show without knowing any of the plot twists and experience all the emotions involved all over again, what would it be? and reread any book? :)

tv I'd have to say either Buffy or Fringe... and book is reaaaally hard but for nostalgic purposes and intents it would definitely have to be Harry Potter haha

is clancy hard to ride?

he isn't hard as such, he's just very tricky because he's so sensitive and quirky. he's very sweet though!

who is your favourite horse on abrook not including wally and ector

oh god I can't pick! I have a massive soft spot for Jack, Carpe and Vin, but I adore Honey and Max as well

who out of these people would you let ride your horse? mae, ella, kya, gee, polly, cara, libby, grace, georgia

yes, no, no, yes, yes, yes, no, no, yes
and I wouldn't let any of them except Polly and Cara ride Ector

i keep my pony on full livery and i get really annoyed when people have a go and say that i dont care about him and know him like i know him hes MINE!

This is so random lol
I think it's wrong that they say you don't care about him. Not caring about him would equate to you keeping him on DIY and neglecting him as opposed to forking out for extra to make sure he's well cared for... but I'm sorry I do kind of get where they're coming from in the "knowing" them sense. I know some people who have horses on full livery that rarely go to see their horses because they know theyre getting whatever they need and being exercised etc (I dunno if this is relevant to your particular situation or not but hey-ho) and how can someone who spends like a max of three hours every two weeks with their horse claim to know them better than the staff who are exercising and caring for them day in and day out?

do funny things happen to you

Ye but theyre usually painful too
Only used I got my grabbed by ector and he hauled me towards him but I got my foot stuck and in a haynet so I fell like a sack of shit to the floor which scared him so he galloped back to his field with his tail in the air whilst I sat on the floor picking gravel out of my skinned hands

what do you feed your horses? x

Ector literally gets like a big handful of pony nuts and half a scoop of hifi and a dollop of honey, but I've taken out the pony nuts because he's bonkers at the moment lol. Then in the mornings he'll get 2 or 3 sections max in a haynet, and over night he'll 3 to 4 soaked sections loose in his haybar.
Wall-E gets like a quarter alfla-a pellets, mint good doer hifi, prem flex, a gp supplement, a gastric probiotic and oil and then he has 3 or 4 soaked sections over night

what type of livery are your horses on and what sort of service do you get with them? just asking because every yard seems to do it a little different

Wall-E's on part livery, so he gets fed, mucked out rug change twice a day, turned out and brought in twice a day 7 days a week and hay/haylage and bedding is also included in his bill, Ector's on assisted DIY so they feed him in the mornings and turn him out or if it's raining he stays in because he just trashes his field so they'll hay him for me... but saying that because I work there as well, I get some extras free for Ector so on my days off I only have to go up once a day :-)

who do you ride with the most at wec and abrook?xx

I mostly ride by myself but from WEC it's Cara, Polly and Mae and from Abrook it's Sam B, Emma and Sam S
