emmad Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 Decided should say a bit about myself We are in Cambridge having moved here from Te Aroha at the start of the year. Moved from a lifestyle block into a section in a subdivison so a bit of adjustment there. I work as a test engineer (software) to make money to pay for us to have a racehorse (would be better if the horses paid for me to not work but oh well). My partner is basically retired (partially due to an old leg injury), he looks after the horse and as a trainers license. When we moved one of our requirements was for a big section, kinda to soften the blow but also due to having a couple of dogs (though that is now down to one ) With my partner being a wee bit older there are quite a few grandkiddies who come to visit with their parents on occasion. Looking forward to being able to show them the fishpond. Also looking forward to being able to sit out by it and read on my Kindle. Well that's kinda me. Horse mad and a dog person (Rather than a cat one). Usually with a sense of humour but don't interupt me when I reading Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danval Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 Hiya. I'm ex TeAroha Whats the name of your horse? Give us the tip when it's going to win Welcome to FNZAS. Great info and great people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmad Posted November 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 The current horse is the last that we've bred. She's called Girls Don't Cry :gigl: So far has only had one start for a last :dunno: Did have some excuses but needs to improve a bit. Suspect she might need a wetter track so will look at it again after her next start. Will let you know if we get one. Planning on trying to get into a race at Te Aroha on the 18th (I think thats the right date) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheepsnana Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 Welcome! Outdoor pond? Goldfish? Do you prefer to have lots or just a few? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmad Posted December 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 In addition to putting the pond in we've updated our garden. We've pulled out some ratty citrus trees and planted some roses . Then while I was at work a feijoa tree was removed and put the seat over by the fishpond along with a shade umbrella Fishpond pics The little fountain is purely a solar charged one so not going in this as panel in shade. Won't be powerful enough for a waterfall so will have to get another at some stage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
