I like horse racing. I think if I went horse riding I’d need a shire horse.

My GF has just mentioned that she knows where she’d like to put that glue and that the steaks wouldn’t be very far behind it.
My gf got her own thoroughbred and she works in racing , I’ve had a go on hers although I can’t ride lol (she thought it was funny to whip the long tong on my first time and she is a 5f sprinter!!) this is her , called Betty’s Touch lol !
Betty’s Touch looks like she has got a roving eye (I don’t know if that’s a good thing - she looks a bit mad at you!
) Can you tell what they’re thinking by their facial expression??
Imagine turning up at Tesco’s on your ride for some shopping - you’d have to tie them up like they did on the old films, maybe against the ironwork on the trolley bay

For those interested there are some great horsey videos on youtube and on the horse and hounds site in the photo forum
Jenny decided to buy another horse…

Stopping for a chat:
was in verona italy and the bar i was in, the waitress told me the menu, which i picked bisteka de cavali though it sounded yummy, till i got out my phrase book back at the wagon !!! be warned
used to see them crammed into livestock trailers down the autostrada
the only horse i’m liking now is my 9 year old 15’3 thoroughbred which my daughter adores oh and the 500 under my chair at work !!!
