OMG i first rode at willow tree as a 9 year old until i was about 11/12 haha I'm 32 now so it is all a bit hazy but pinky, perky and captain ring a bell and i think i remember the owners husband/grandad who we used to pay in a portacabin? he was an old guy we used to call him Mr M i think...

Hi all, Thanks for your replies. Just wanted to give an update. He doesn't seem to be tripping any more (hooray!) It stopped the week after that big trip happened. I agree with those of you who said it was probably a combination of him being inexperienced , slippy ground and him being 'on the...

Thanks for all replies :) LovesCobs that sounds awful glad you survived :(

Thanks for reply. He is 7 i believe. I have another lesson on him Friday so i am having fingers crossed it doesn't happen anymore as although it didn't scare me i know it could end badly for me , pony or both of us :(

Thanks for reply, i feel better now. He isn't a riding school pony so i informed his owner of the fall and she checked him to make sure he wasn't showing signs of being lame/hurt. I think she is quite good with having farrier/dentist etc out so hopefully if anything is wrong with his feet it...

So today i had my riding lesson (30 minute private) and the pony i ride stumbled and went right down onto his nose and knee while we were in trot he managed to stumble back on to his feet seemingly unhurt just a bit shocked i think.... the title is a bit dramatic but you never know could of...

Yes will have lessons at the RS still when I can't have a lesson with my freelance Instructor which is happening this week. So will be riding two different horses (usually ride 3 when I add in the RS lessons, hacking and freelance instructor lesson ) I guess my plan to conpletely leave wasn't...

Thanks for the replies :) I think I am going to end up still attending riding school lessons during the school holidays as forgot I only have access to the non riding school horses during term time as the owners daughters ride when not at school. It will be interesting to see as I progress if I...

Thank you for the reply :) I feel better about stopping my riding school lesson now :) I did think common sense I should stop but wasn't completely sure.

Hi there :) I wanted to find out what others recommend. I had a long break from riding but got back into it when my girls started riding in september. I quickly realised i wasn't a very capable rider back then now i am being taught correctly so i decided to follow the advice on here and get as...

Thank you for the reply Speedyfluff

Hi guys i'm sorry to add yet another Ariat question but i couldn't seem to find the answer i was looking for exactly. I just brought my very first long boot as usually wear jod boots and half chaps. I brought a pair of insulated Bromonts H2o size 4.5, regular calf , medium height , black oiled...

Welcome to the forum i am new as well and just returning to horses after starting a career, children etc got in the way somehow and i gave up my share pony but now my girls are older (nearly 9 & 10) and have gotten into ponies i could not resist getting back into it ...so kind of like your...

Thank you everyone for your replies and advice. When i go to my riding lesson Friday i will offer myself to them and see if they are up for me shadowing and helping out haha I just feel like i need to be around horses more as one lesson a week isn't enough atm

Thank you for the reply that is exactly what i needed to know :) .... so no DIYers for me when i am ready to look haha I see a lot of horses on DIY for share but will just have to look harder when the time comes as sometimes see ads where people just want someone to come and ride on the days...
