Spent this weekend watching the Badminton Horse Trials and now I really, really want to go horse-riding again.

edit: Oh yeah, I'm definitely going here this summer. Because *wow*. How can there be something that cool in Wales without me knowing? Mindbogglingly expensive but I don't *care*. I could at least do the 1 1/2 trail and probably the two if I get a couple of lessons in to catch up first. *Wow*.

I did wonder if I could get a group of eight together to go on an evening trail ride for my birthday but they finish in September. It'd still be fun. Mmm.

edit: Okay, um, it's the other end of Wales to me. Still don't care. Still going. I haven't been on holiday-holiday for the last.. two years i think, it's about damn time I did something. I'll even be able to put up with the south Waleians for horses. ;) Joking, joking. Really.

edit: Hey, there's a stables in London! kindoftrouble, lossi, let's go on London Weekend! ;)

Yeah, with those prices. Riiiiight.

edit: I think I found somewhere. It's close to me, looks quaint but professional, very nice. And they assess you before assigning you a group so you're not just dumped in with all the brilliant people. Still on the pricey side but dammit if I work in the summer I'm going to want something to spend my money on. AND, my old college funds their training courses which gives me great faith in them already.

Mmm. Think I might be going horse-riding when I go home. :)

Horsies scare me.

*grins* But they're *gorgeous*. If you offered me any tennis player of my choice bound to me as a slave forever OR a horse? I'd have to think really *really* hard...

... before choosing the horse.

But they're scary.

You are insane. If you offered me Andy Roddick as my slave forever you'd have your answer before the sentence was over ;)

They're really not. Worst they can do is step on your foot and it usually doesn't break your toe. I guess they could run off with you but they get bored in the end so as long as you hang on you'll be fine. ;)

Horses. *dreams* Gorgeous and so fast and the *smell*, the smell of horses is the best smell *ever*. I'd take a horse over anything else in the world. (I think it's a horse-lover thing. In the Trials I just watched, the wife of the guy who won was waiting for him as he dismounted after and the first one she went to congratulate and hug? The horse. Totally understandable.)

But Roger could buy you horsies!

But I'd have to travel the world with him and leave the horse at home. And a horse wouldn't whine at you or steal the last bagel or demand anything. ;) Besides Roger's scared of dogs, I dread to think what he'd be like with horses. Horses are worth more than men anyday. :)

I did. I've seen it before but it's still funny. I think it's a phase some men go through, thinking their hair looks good dyed blond when it really doesn't at all.

Blond horses on the other hand...

I don't really like dogs either. They're scary too.

I made friends with a random collie in town last week. His owners kept leaving him outside the shops I was going into and he was so beautiful I couldn't resist saying hi eveyr time I saw him. Dogs are only scary when people've made them scary. :) Most of the time they're just begging to be petted.

*pets* Horse mad you are. You're gonna be like a cat lady, only with horses.

P.S. If you come on, we can give you prompts/ideas for your portfolio :p Vague inspire-y things.

No, I'm going to have cats too. Three cats, one dog, one horse, possibly some sort of lizards. Maybe geckos. And some rats too. Life is not life without pets. :)

:P Don't need ideas, I've already started most stuff over the year. ;) Just need to work on it and if I come on MSN then I won't get any work done before Top Gear and then I'm watching the volcano thing on BBC and then I have to make a cake... so I really have to go do some work now. *sighs*

*hugs* Go get some work done...
