    Help older friend realise she can’t go one with her horse like this ?

    Exactly this! I’m so pleased everyone thinks the woman should be left alone to do what she what she loves.

    Can someone please explain the whole, 'My horse is naughty, that makes me a good rider...my horse is bigger, that makes me better' attitude?

    Fillings!

    Pony is having fillings tomorrow. I’m not sure what to expect. Is it fairly quick and straightforward, how long was recovery and when were you able to ride again? Thank you!! X

    Haflingers :)

    I think that haflingers get a bad reputation through no fault of their own. Because they look like a ‘Barbie’ pony, they often get bought for children who aren’t always able to manage them and end up being passed around. The haflingers I know are all ridden by adults who say they would...

    Adults riding ponies? Am I daft to be considering this size?

    horse stops at fence. I fall off!

    Speaking from experience, it's likely to be a combination of a few things: core, seat, folding too early and position of the lower leg. It's really hard to see what's going wrong when it's happening to you, isn't it! Have you had an instructor take a look? That might be the quickest way to fix...

    Partner not happy about horse costs

    Could you not get a sharer? That would free up time and money. That would certainly be what I'd look into and would be a realistic compromise. I disagree that the horse should go. It doesn't matter how perfect your man is in every other way. If forcing you into giving up the thing you love...

    Position of knee blocks

    I've got pretty big blocks at the front and I'm finding that my leg is swinging back when my mare puts in an unexpected leap. Nothing awful but I feel unbalanced. My saddler has suggested small jumping blocks - possibly like you've described. She's coming up in a couple of weeks. I've got quite...
