Rugby World Cup Bedroom Style
A little old couple prepares to go to bed. They no sooner hit the pillows when the old man farts and says, "Seven Points." His wife rolls over and says, "What in the world was that?" The old man replied, "It's fart Rugby ..." A few minutes later his wife lets one go and says, "Try and conversion 7-all". After about five minutes the old man lets another one go and says, "Penalty 10 points to 7." Not to be outdone, the wife rips out another one and says, "Penalty 10-all." Five seconds go by and she lets out a little squeaker and says," Drop goal, I lead 13 to 10.." Now the pressure is on the old man. He refuses to get beaten by a woman, so he strains real hard, but to no avail. Realising a defeat is totally unacceptable he gives it everything he's got, and then shits in the bed. The wife says, What the hell was that?"· The old man says, "Half time, change sides."

.... Pete is everything she said he was and more, we love him to bits, he has already become a star on our huntfield and I can't wait for the dressage and show season to start. We have only been living in NZ for 6 years and have bought several horses in that time but Pete has proved to be better than some that cost me 3 times as much, just wish I'd heard about HorsesalesNZ sooner and will definitely be ringing Claire next time I'm in the market for another horse. |
Hi Claire, Haze went hunting on Saturday. Mark rode her and loved her... does not want to give her back! We had a great days sport with 2 good runs and she certainly was a machine. I rode her Sunday, which would normally be her rest day after hunting but I was keen to get going on her. She was perfect and we had a lovely hack out. She has really settled now and seems very happy... I adore her and Dazza and Mark do too...will keep you posted of our adventures. I will definitely be using your services again in the future for finding me my hunters and will also recommend you to anyone looking for a hunter.

2011 Winter OlympicsThe 2011 Winter Olympics were held at Claire and Simon Wilson's home, Mt Herbert Farm, Waipukurau on 22 May. It was a fun day of low level showjumping classes... where many riders took advantage of a mid-winter competition day. Around $1800 was made at this Flemington School fund-raiser, and organisers were overwhelmed by the support they recieved from the many local sponsors. Special thanks go to Sloans Saddlery, Homespun Services, Sacred Hill Winery, Cortaflex and Annandale, who were major contributors. The internationally respected course designer, Gerrit Beker- provided the riders with plenty of challenges, but the competition was of a very high standard. Although, a few top riders took their talented youngsters along for the experience, it was the competitive pony riders Matt Irvine, Riannon Bevin and Hannah Fraser who took out the main titles. Meanwhile, the non riding children created a mud-slide on the side-line... so the spectators had plenty of entertainment at this fun, family day out! |
