Lovley but why is he wearing an oven glove?

[jan]

Well spotted Sreve R, I can see it, I spotted it straight away too. I do it all the time with fabrics and the such like.
Think I am going mad sometimes.

hi sam! http://www.addis-welt.de/smilie/smilie/tier/gallopin.gif

[Tara Sage]

Yeap I can see the face too although I hadn't noticed it before I am afraid to disillusion you though it is only mud!!!!

Frances the oven glove! is actually a cover to stop his little nose getting sun burnt!

Picking him up Saturday can't wait.
:P

[Timbo]

Mind your back Tara, he looks rather heavy...boom boom.
That is a lovely looking animal I have to say. One more thing to add to our "to get " list when we get there.

[xanctus]

oh cutieeeeeeeeeee.....
such a magnificent creature indeed... :nice1

[eric_amanda]

Congratulations Tara I learned to ride on a horse just like him! Oh the memories!!

Just out of curiosity, are horses expensive to keep? We have space here and I must admit to wanting to get back to riding again myself. Would be good for the children aswell when they get older! just Eric to talk round now then!!

Amanda

[Tara Sage]

Not sure what it is going to cost yet but so far nothing seems too bad.

Insurance is only $120.00 for the year!

He is a real darling can't wait to get out on him.

:laugh :laugh :laugh Timbo!!!!!

[Tate6]

He is Beautiful!! Congrats! How much land do you have to have there to have horses? Whereabouts are you located? And how much is hay?

Sorry for all of the questions--I now have 3 horses and love them so dearly!! That is my dilema (sp?) when we move to NZ!! I have a great place they can go, but I will miss them horribly! I will definitely be getting a or many :eek horse(s) when we are settled!!

So happy for you!

Sorry all! Could not get them all to load on one post!
I'll try to get better at this! :oops:

Terry

[jo b]

He is gorgeous

My daughter wants a Pony when we get there and I suppose I have a go at getting back in the saddle too.

Does anyone know what the cost of livery is for a horse?

Jo

[Tara Sage]

Terry

They are gorgeous! Will let you know on the costs of stuff over next few weeks!!

Pick him up tomorrow although I have been to visit every day.

It is going to be a good weekend.

T

[Moorf]

Is he gonna fit in your 4x4??!!

:laugh

[Tate6]

Tara-
That is so exciting! I bet you will have a great weekend!

Beauty and Pancho are rescue horses. They have such great personalities. Beauty was harder to get close to but once I did, I feel like we have such a bond.
They are incredible animals!

Have a great weekend with your new horse!!

Terry

[Tara Sage]

Ha Ha Moorf :laugh :laugh

Hiring a float (Note they are not horse boxes here they are floats!!!)

Hubby can tow on his truck!

Oh why isn't it Saturday yet???

[Moorf]

Patience Grasshopper :P

Am saving up all my Polo's!!

[veronica]

He looks lovely, just watch him for sunburn, hmm perhaps you can get him a donkey style straw hat with holes for his ears to go with his oven glove.......

[Tara Sage]

:laugh :laugh

maybe I could have one to match!!

[Moorf]

I think it's Burberry too! :laugh

[Tara Sage]

Top Quality! :laugh

[Moorf]

Just don't go into a UK pub wearing Burberry, I hear they are banning people wearing it as it's now "hooligan chic" :laugh Seriously....

[Moorf]

LOOK! Great priced property with paddock for Sam!!

40 mins into central chch....

So how is it going, Tara?? Hope he is settling in well. Let us know how your first ride goes!! Do you have good riding trails near you?

Have a great rest-of-the-weekend!

Sorry to change the track of the thread here, but there are some lovely houses on that website Moorf. I think I have found my dream home.

or

Now all I need to do is win the lottery as it is way above our price range.


Nic

[Moorf]

Yes, Min Sargison agents always seems to have quality homes in great locations - it's the main site we use as it covers the areas we like..

So are you are looking in Diamond Harbour too ?

We actually went and had a peek at those places a month or so ago... they are in great positions and amongst some of the best houses we have seen in Chch yet :nice1

Now.. where's that lottery ticket... :?

The one in Rue de Moliere is especially good value in my opinion...

[Nicola]

No we were not looking especially at Diamond Harbour. We were just blown away by the scenery. I love looking at real estate web sites.

Unfortunatly our choice of final destination has to take into consideration our batch of sprogs, so think we need to end up in Rangiora. :no But maybe when we finally get rid of them all we could find somewhere we like. :yes

On the subject of Rangiora I have just recieved some info from John the estate agent. He seems to be very helpful.

Good luck with the house etc. :hopeso
