Hi all, grateful for your thoughts. Daughters new pony is fab, exceptionally well mannered and well behaved, does everything you ask it. When she jumped it previously it was brill and she was ecstatic. Took her to a clear round session tonight, very first jump it jumped then dropped his head and...

Does anyone have any experience of using standardbreds for cross country and tetrathlons? I have a standardbred who has been nicely reschooled since his racing days and is now a lovely riding horse. The more I have got to know the breed I know they can be very versatile and I have been offered a...

So glad I posted this!! Lots of good advice and constructive criticism thank you!

The offer was said jokingly and she knows I know hes worth more than that :-)

Thank you all, fair comments and good advice x

As I said I have offered several times to draw up an agreement, she did say several months ago she had one but has never brought it up. Agreed, I should have pursued that. I have to disagree about the other rider though. Whilst she knows full well I wouldnt let just anyone on him, this person is...

I have had a horse on loan since last September and as far as Im concerned is a fairly normal loan arrangement ie to all intents and purposes he is mine in all but name. I keep him at my place, look after him, exercise him, pay for all costs etc etc. The owner didnt really want to sell as he is...

I have had a 12.2 Section A cross on loan since November, he was coming in at night before but started living out 24/7 with us. He wasn't having any hard feed previously. After about a month he started eating one of my other horse's poo, this was the only one on hard feed at the time. As he had...

Hi advice appreciated. My daughter has a 12.2 Section A cross and has just started jumping at pony club and local small competitions. She rides him in a snaffle and is doing really well but he is a bit strong and she just needs a bit more control. He is a lovely pony, really keen and enjoys...

Thank you. He isn't very fit. I don't think his owner had ridden him much for a while and we are only going out once a week at the moment. Something else to mention, he wears a breastplate as his saddle slips back. It is the most beautiful saddle which is why I think she has kept it, not because...

Hi, I have had a lovely Section D on loan for the last 4 months. He is perfect for me and we have done as much hacking in that time as weather has permitted and are getting along very nicely. One thing he does do though after we have been out for a while is start to throw his head around, not so...

Thanks again i've just emailed the person local to me from the link you gave me so fingers crossed! Actually would be really keen to see these methods at work anyway as always been interested in alternative methods of training but not really had opportunity to learn and apply them x

Thanks I think I will do. Got to resolve this problem but all my love and patience is getting me nowhere!

No but we took a new pony on loan called Cookie then one week later was asked to home a cat before it was pts called ... Cookie!
