    Found two piccies (where you can't really see me - cos I'm shy!!:)), so said I'd bang them up.

    Wow napoles, lovely horses! Are they yours? If so tell us a bit about them :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 149 ✭✭napoles


    The grey was mine for four years until this year when I sold him, :(
    cos he wasn't getting enough to do as there wasn't enough dressage at his level down here and I have enough young ones to keep me busy. Mind you, he's dearly loved in his new home too so I'm happy.
    The bay was for an owner. I showed him and competed him in the Future Event Horse league. Lovely boy.
    I have loads more pics of different horses - but I don't really want to put up any where you can see me!! Hopefully I'll get a few nice ones of this year's youngsters soon.

    I worked for Kevin Babington in Pennsylvania las summer and snapped a few pics of him.

    Irish international showjumper for those who dont know who he is. He rode Carling King before he retired him last year
    This is his 6 year old Hoslteiner stallion Life Star

    Gorgeous looking horse napoles! Is he a stallion?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 149 ✭✭napoles


    :D No, but he'd like to think he is!! He's my 15.2hh pocket rocket!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,931 ✭✭✭togster


    How did he do napoles?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 149 ✭✭napoles


    Sh*te!! :D
    Good dressage, but got eliminated in the showjumping for starting before bell :o (he jumped a good round though!) and then had two babyish stops on the cross-country. Not too worried though as it was just greeness - jumped them no probs on a second look and he's still learning. Hopefully next Sunday will be better! :)

    Minor details! Best of luck


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 149 ✭✭napoles


    Thanks! Fingers crossed they'll pop round their respective courses ok. Am not expecting too much though - they're only babies so will take them easy.

    Brilliant photos as usual Borderfox. Dont you just love watching the kids and ponies. makes you sorry you have otgrown them :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5 Morafic


    I just love the photos, especially the show jumping ones and those of the kids and their ponies having a blast!:) Brings back memories of when I was very much younger & braver!

    Sadly I haven't yet mastered the complex and difficult art of taking photos whilst riding so can only take pictures of my lot when they are out in the field:(
