A firewood addiction, which requires the saws.

Have a few guns, also tons of woodworking tools but no time to use them.

Audio systems are a hobby too. I'm serious about sound and have all the gear to prove it. :drums:

If you ever need a hand on he farm, it may not cost you too much to import me,
I love that kind of work, comes second nature being brought up with it.

Spent a year with horses lately, and find them to be very interesting,
the diversity in ther charachter and abilities I find very interesting,
every one so different, it makes the challenge of identifying and bringing
on a good one very rewarding indeed.

Are you working with racehorses or hunt horses

Are you working with racehorses or hunt horses
I only got into horses because I got one for my daughter,
that led me to finding a stable for hm for the winter,
with a nice area to exercise him in.

The woam who owns the stable has lots of horses, her own, and others
like mine, so I got to learn a lot in quite a short space of time.
I learned I like them, and could pick the good ones out.

I learned they all need an individual approach,
and something so obvious, in that they completely depend on
us humans for their wellbeing and care.
Can't stand the idiots that think becasue a horse does not do what
they want, that it is the horses fault, when most of the time its the
owners fault.

The horses vary, they are what we reffer to here as sports horses,
bread of Connemar ponies, shires, but mostly a race horse bread
crossed with the calmer Connemara or shire, depending on the size
or the animal you want.
Some jump, some do dressage, some do events, some do hunting,
and some do all of this.
But most of them are kept for recreation, get to getheres, where
they all head off aloing the back roads for 10 or 12 miles, broken into
two spells, with food and rest between, nothing fancy, just good sensible
fun and exercise, for rider and horse.

I got a sports horse with a lot of Cob in him, he had the big wide feet
with the long hairs, what they call feathered feet.
He was heavy, but not too big, 14.3, aged 7, and was initially a trotting horse,
he pulled a gig on the road.
I got such a horse to make sure my daughter would not be able to enter jumping
competitions, as I wanted to keep her safe, she would sit up on the biggest horse
and go as hard as the horse was able to, so she need a stopper, and a Cob was it.

Sold him since as my Daughter moved away to conrinue school, and it was near
impossible to get anyone to exercise him, the yard was full of young ones, but
they did not like him because he was wide backed, and they could not sit on him,
they were all used to the skinny deep shaped horses that they could grip with
their legs.
Though he was good for learners, for they found him easy to sit on because they
had not yet mastered gripping or balancing with their lower legs.
He was well liked by learners because of his nature, he was good in traffic, but had been
stabled all his life, so when he got in a field, a lot of fun was had, he rolled like
a child, he oddly was not used to seeing his shaddow, he hated water holes,
and he soon learned not to suck in tadpoles as he drank, I will never forget the face
or the squeels as he discharged them quicker than he sucked them in, but he was real
fast learner and a few months in the field had him roaming about after me as I would
hammer in posts and trim hedges, lovely animal, and he knew how to reverse, and the
young ones loved telling him to back up, and of course he did just that.
He had a greyhound laying on his food for a whole night, and he never bit or touched her,
she was a rescued animal.

But my interest in them continues, I visit the stable, and have four in the field
below my house, one being a donkey, and yes, the donkey is of the four legged kind.
