    Bolting horse on a fun ride.

    Gosh, guys. So much pouncing on the choice of words and so few constructive suggestions. OP have you tried getting the nice calm horses he hacks well with to do things like overtaking, going ahead, getting behind, different gait to him etc.? I probably wouldn't fun ride until he was...

    Bute... Is it really harmful?

    When it was first invented it was a human drug and then they banned it because it does bad things to the liver and kidneys with prolonged use in some people. I think.

    Beautiful moment with my pony tonight

    I love it when ponies suddenly decide to remind us why we love them. I had a moment with one of the ones I ride last night. Life's been interesting for the last couple of weeks (for reasons the internet doesn't need to know). And i went into her stable for a proper cry. She was wonderful...

    war horse

    Book soon. You can't get 2 seats sat together for months. I got my ticket at 2 weeks notice but that's because I'm the sort of weird person who goes to the West End on her own. It's amazing and worth the weight and the puppetry is incredible.

    If I have to hop up and down to see over his bum...

    How long are you in the air when you hop just high enough to see over him? How many marshmallows does each hop use? I am actually bored enough this evening to do some school maths.

    Does anyone hack out in Draw Reins ?

    wouldn't because i've seen it go wrong and a horse back off the side of the road into a ditch, almost certainly because of the draw reins but if you're clever enough to communicate the message "you can't rear but i would like you to walk on" better than this fella did, there's no moral rant...

    Anyone feel like Sisyphus at the moment?

    Glad i'm not the only one being blue today. Categorically and expensively established i'm not going to pass my trailer test any time soon this morning. But thank you for making me feel slightly better OP. I actually knew who Sisyphus was before reading, which made me feel a tiny bit...

    You know your a horse geriatric when.....

    I don't know. But i'm only 21 and I've definitely taught several people how to put a duvet under rug on... I don't remember jods being beige only. But i do remember them being beige, white, black or navy. Then one time we went to the tack shop and there was a rack of dark green ladies jods -...

    Obese ponies - do they ever loose the crest ?

    In my experience yes but that's based on a sample size of one and the weight came off with lots and lots of ridden work, which doesn't sound like your plan.

    Has anybody without an indoor rode toay ?

    Schooled in an outdoor last night. Bannisters/radiators/coat hooks/curtain rails of my little cottage now littered with every layer i was wearing. But the little cob my RI has been re-schooling did halt to rein back to trot for me without a giraffe impression at any stage, which made us...

    Why do you come on HHo?

    To procrastinate. But i reckon it'll be really useful once i've got a pony of my own.

    Eating disorders and horses?

    ??? Do you think he'd really mind a bit of an easier winter until you're feeling better? No knowledgeable advice for yourself but didn't want to read and run. Get well soon
