Was she chestnut? Chestnut mares are blooming bonkers.

She was but I'd put it down to how she was treated by a man/men before my cousin got her.

The best mare I had here was a chestnut and no problems.

Tis a foreign sport round here, Patsy, I haven't seen more than 10 minutes of football this year, thank God.

It's hard to see Kerry beat them with a young team but if everything goes right for Kerry and Dublin go a man down early on, they have a chance. But not a big one.

A great complaint to have. I had intentions to start an orchard or fruit trees. This winter/spring hopefully.

The fruit and berry bushes I planted last year- the few berries that grew fed the birds. Must get some blackberries before they are gone although they are slow to ripen this year.

My own club is very strong in both football and hurling. In fact they have won both senior championships in recent years. It wasn't always that way, football only got going in recent years. When I played, we struggled to even put out a football team, usually only playing the one game a year and no training at all. Hurling was number one.
At one game, I remember clearly, me and a few others were subs sitting in a car near the end of the pitch. The ball went over the end line and one of the lads in the car, dead serious, shouted "take the corner Mike". Mike picked up the ball and was heading to the corner flag when the laughing from the rest of us stopped him in his tracks.

I was away all day at the real non farming job and came home at dusk, I've always kept a few donkey's since I was a child and there usually not too far from the house. My donkey breeding operation died with the Celtic tiger until this time last year I aquired a black jack and 3 of the mare's were duly covered. Fast forward 12 months and one mare aborted and the second foaled a dead foal after complications.

The last mare was springing down for the last month and I had been checking her at first light and dusk since last week. I noticed her lying on her own tonight and watched her give birth to a live black jack within about 15 minutes. Nature truly is amazing when it works out, I'm sitting in the kitchen knackered but content. It's like being a child again, pity there's no money in them.

I'd upload a picture of the newest arrival if anyone was interested. The Lord blessed me with many talents but sadly being tech savvy wasn't one of them, any recommendations of how to go about such? Thanks in advance.

Lime Tree Farm

this is my attempt at a tutorial.

Firstly save your picture in an easily located folder on your computer.

Go to REPLY TO MESSAGE section on the boards.ie thread.
Select ADVANCED from the options

Scroll down to ADDITIONAL OPTIONS section and select MANAGE ATTACHMENTS

When the options Menu appears, click on CHOOSE FILE

Locate the .jpg picture file using your FILE EXPLORER, this is where you saved it FOLDER on your computer

Click on the FILE NAME and select OPEN
The name of your chosen file will appear under CHOOSE FILE

There is a SLIDER at the bottom , push this to the right and you will see an UPLOAD option, select this..

Go back to the main body of your message, and click on the INSERT PICTURE from the top row of icons.(mouse over the icons to view your OPTIONS and scroll down to ADDITIONAL OPTION to SELECT your picture and INSERT the link into the body of your message.

The above info should also work for a pic taken with a mobile phone.
