Hi, new member. I think I used to be on NR many years ago but can’t remember my old user name or anything!
Been having a look round today and love the fact it looks like a friendly and supportive forum! Some are a bit judgy
I have 3 horses and two ponies, two of the horses are ridden. I just hack but plan to possibly do a bit more with one of them when we are both ready. He’s Ottb, retired last year injured so taking it slowly.
Nice to meet you all!

The ponies. Bubbles the grey I got years ago when we left livery as a companion. We only had 2 so needed a third so I could ride and not leave one alone.
The bay, Torro is 26 yrs Welsh A. I got him from the Blue Cross a few years back to keep bubbles company as it was apparent as he got older he couldn’t be turned out so much with the others.
Sadly they dislike each other so it was an epic fail

Can you recall who you owned when you were here.
I joined 11 years ago, was it before that?

Quite possibly. I think a horse called Henry. I lost my first pony and bought him. Had a few issues and joined a couple of forums. Sure this was one and I recognise a few usernames.
I’m working on photos of the others! I had a sad “phone down the toilet” moment (clean toilet ) it’s pretty temperamental since!
 
This is the ridden two. The coloured is Jake or J-cob as he’s known! He’s 19 but he doesn’t understand the whole old cob thing. He bucked me off cantering not so long ago, cantering his favourite thing. It’s very exciting.... I tend only to canter him uphill nowadays
The other is Oz. Ex flat rat, started a little bit of jumping but was not much good then did bit of a leg so retired. He’s just hacking with Jake as a nanny/bad influence

Last but not least my main man, I absolutely adore this old soldier. Barney
He’s been retired a good 3 years now he’s a really gentle giant. ♥
