My Ragdoll has an autoimmune issue where his gums are attacking his teeth, and he also had some tartar/plaque when he was checked last summer, so they recommended to put him on one of the seaweed supplements you can sprinkle on their food that's really good for helping prevent plaque. There's...

Splash is still there too!

Guilty as charged! On the lovely Honey.

😂 To be fair, I'm grinning like that on most of my photos on her, as she's been my best pony mate for the last 10 years at least! Love the bones of her, but I don't get to ride her anywhere near enough these days as she's usually being used in the kids' lessons when I ride on a Saturday morning.

Excellent plan! 😊

I hadn't better start posting all of my photos (I've lost count of how many I have! :eek: 😂 ), but here's my latest one on my old mate Wispa. This is from the three-hour trek they did on Good Friday:

I'm guessing you're doing the mixed-ability trek? The riders all start out on the trek together and it only splits into the two groups once the staff have had chance to check everyone out. They always make sure any newbies are looking competent in rising trot before they're offered the chance to...

Excellent! It's my second home. 😂 If you want to know any more before you go, feel free to drop me a DM. There are a fair few others on here who've also ridden there too, such as @Tiddlypom, who I've ridden with a few times. As long as you're honest with the staff, they'll happily choose a...

I'd completely agree with that. As a regular trekking-centre rider (and as your location says 'Midlands', @Onemorefling, I'd thoroughly recommend Cannock Chase Trekking Centre, where I ride, if it's in the right part of the Midlands for you), the people I see who come unstuck on a trek are...

Third time lucky? Buy the horse!

For comfortable and seamless, I’d suggest Countrydale Motion tights or Protech breggings. I love mine (I have both). The tights don’t have belt loops, but have everything else you want. The breggings do have belt loops, but are zip to fasten (really smart, though).

Honestly, from all you've said, it sounds like a bit of a no-brainer that moving is the sensible option!

Good shout, @Tiddlypom. They don’t have any TB crosses, but plenty of other pure breeds and crosses.

I always found wrapping the pill in a small amount of smoked salmon worked a treat. Possibly because it's strong smelling enough to disguise the pill to cat noses as well as being tasty. It also meant I got to eat most of the rest of the smoked salmon! 😂

I agree. When I bought my latest hat, I went through every dial-to-fit hat in the shop that was in my budget and size range that they had in stock, and there was only one that fitted properly. It didn't help that my head size was on the cusp between two sizes in most brands; the smaller one was...
