Mine was Lord Gyllene who won the Aintree Grand National in 1997.

It was the first time I ever placed a bet. I was 8 and my Dad put a pound down on him for me. I remember it was such a thrill, I loved it.

I've always remembered LG since, he died in December of last year.

One day, Oisín and Fianna saw a beautiful white horse in distance, and on its back was most beautiful young woman they had ever seen.

She's pretty cute actually.

I'm not entirely familiar with the My Little Pony stuff as I'm not gay but to each as their own as they say.

And now to bring in a phrase I hope will permeate Irish society!

Oh bugger off with your DUP. The only parties I respect up there are PUP, UUP and SDLP.

I'm a southern Roman Catholic Fine Gael man.

I don't do extremes, Hard Left and Hard Right are equally retarded imo.

In reality for breeds my fav ..the Irish hunter.

Persephone kindness · 10-06-2017 06:15AM

Irish hunter brave ..bold go anywhere do anything...yet gentle enough for amateur riding. Lively with common sense.

Persephone kindness · 10-06-2017 06:18AM

We do horses really really well...

Persephone kindness · 10-06-2017 06:25AM

M grandfather had a great friendship with a workhorse on his farm called Dobben.

Dobben collasped one day in the yard, buckled into a heap.

Himself and his father knelt down over him and comforted him in his final moments. There was nothing that could be done for him. Heart attack.

That horse was more than a piece of farm equipment to them, they loved him. To the extent that his name is still spoken about in the current generation of the family.

Awh. I am not from farming folk. But I love old family stories passed on

You can learn a lot about people from their stories.

I believe ancestral memory. And the lessons therein ....if something or a memory is in your blood it's there.

Farming and horses in particular

They're elegant noble creatures who have served mankind for centuries.

I hate to see them abused. Highly intelligent also.

Indeed the riding school i went to in carrick mines lent some horses for it. One of them was called Spike. He was one of the piebalds. I sued to ride him. He became like a superstar!

This is so cute!

Persephone kindness · 10-06-2017 09:17AM

Altruism in horses. A little guy standing to a stallion to protect his little buddy!
