I remember when Willow was on long term pain relief she was on Danilon, the vet said it was better for her stomach although I can’t comment on the truth in that. That was a long time ago so could well be changes in thought now

Following with interest as my youngster finds passing horses rather… overwhelming 🤣

My horse can barely handle sheep, I can’t imagine what she’d do if she met an elk 🤣🤣 it looks gorgeous!

Nothing wrong with getting off - you still got him round it! You’re doing a grand job.

I am definitely not brave enough to just get on hahaha. I like to instil left, right, start and stop at least 🤣 but I think she finds circles utterly pointless and being a mare, has no problem telling me how she feels about it. Which is fine, I’d much rather she spends this year hacking!

I’m very chuffed with my rising 4 year old. She’s been pretty tricky - quite an anxious sort when lots is going on around her and she’s been quite…spicy on the long reins to put it mildly but always very good out walking in hand. Decided to throw caution to the wind and just get on and start...

Lots of long reining and walking out in hand both with another horse and alone. Out hacking ASAP when you have stop/start/left/right established. I’ve always gone by the phrase riding should be the natural next step and that’s mostly served me well.

I had similar - when my older boy retired from competition, I struggled to keep motivated when I also had a young up and coming horse as well as riding for work. I found a sharer for him, she’s ended up with him on full loan and 7/8 years on is still enjoying hacking him out a few times a week...

It seems a bit much to me. I had a sharer for one of mine and when I started working shifts, she would bring in/turnout my own one plus feed her and change rugs but I wouldn’t ever expect her to muck out the one she didn’t ride

I’m a police officer. Currently work either 7-4 or 12-9 but we usually get sent home about half an hour early. Obviously need someone to bring in on lates but gives me mornings to ride in winter and for appointments. Also work a couple of weekends a month which gives me weekdays for...

Well there’s worse opinions to have towards traffic!! She’s a Connie x TB from the Irish sales ring. I call her my Amazon prime pony as I bought her through an ap and she arrived 3 days later! I couldn’t face proper viewings after losing my old girl very suddenly and she’s a bit of a project to...

Mine was also lightly backed last year. Done lots of walking out in hand and long reining. I’ve sat on her a few times but currently waiting for a new saddle so that’s put the brakes on. She’s very opinionated though and gets anxious so lots of repetition does her good.

They give my life colour.

Hi Tivvy D, I will PM you 🙂

I have no idea what’s going on with these quotes and I can’t get rid of them. Don’t feel bad, I feel like this with Nutmeg. I’m very fond of her and she’s a real people pony, loves fuss and cuddles and I think we will have a blast the next couple of years but she will never be my number 1 cos...
