Oh really may have to message you for some tips!

Yes of course I do! If you have a look at my other posts I’ve mentioned about what we are doing at the moment plodding round the yard for 10-15 minutes and then he’s done. And that I am loving being back at the yard after being pregnant and having him. Appreciate your response.

We’ve been loaning a little Shetland recently and yeah we’ve been plodding around for 10-15 minutes and then he’s ready to get off. If we do go for the Dartmoor we will of course be looking into a companion, I’ve pushed my limit to 2 I definitely won’t be allowed 3 haha! ? it’s all very...

I need to pick all of your lead rein expert brains please! So the lead rein world is a new one for me - we have found two gorgeous little shetlands for full loan one is 13 and experienced off the lead rein and the other is 3 but used to be handled by children. They are gorgeous and they are...

At the minute one hasn't been backed due to age and the other is ridden but my little boy is only 1 so we ride for 10 minutes waving at everyone and then time to launch ourselves out the side door :D As he gets older starts doing more will definitely consider clipping xx

Oh my gosh this is adorable! Ponyo wear do outrageously cute bold print rugs too. HIDE THE CREDIT CARD!

What would you recommend? The big paddock is post and rail but it's over 2 acres so I need to create smaller paddocks inside. Then we have the winter paddock on wood chip (mentioned above) that I need to fence off too

Had an absolute win with this, there are already a couple of areas that are drier and have been topped with tree wood chippings, just need to fence them off but we are going to eventually create a "yard" area as well on hard standing outside of their little stables with post and rail xx

So it looks like we have found the perfect two little ponies and we are keeping them on the family farm. As mentioned in previous posts I have always been on livery yards or at least a DIY yard that has already been set up. They are miniature shetlands ones back and a really kids pony the other...

Hi All So we have a family farm with 4 block built garage (currently not used) and each one internally measures 8x10. To small for standard pony or horse but we are looking at rehoming to gorgeous little Shetland ponies one is 38” and the other is a bit smaller. They are already on a slight...

I found the yard a massive influence without even realising at first - after coming back into horses and buying my mare, after some time out just riding friends, we relocated to a different part of the country (partners job) yard that was perfect on paper but an absolute nightmare so bitchy...

Hi All, Bit of a different question this time - am currently 20 weeks pregnant and need help! After seeking advice from midwife and GP I carried on riding after finding out I was pregnant, much to partners disapproval at first but slowly have had to reduce what I am doing with my welsh...

Hi all I have traveled through the millions of menage/arena posts and I can’t seem to find an answer to my query so here we go. Have my horses at home but we do not have a menage/arena and I’m struggling with keep my Welsh d’s fit as one is not good on the roads (very nervous of anything...

Ok so quick back story. I bought my welshy in October, a giant barrel from a field and we have been working on shifting the weight. From what I know she hasn't really done a lot in the past. Finally on a fantastic yard with amazing people and can focus on her. Have done lots of long reining and...

It's been a while since I originally started this thread but a lot has happened since. So we relocated from Essex to Lancashire and have "trialled" a copy of yard (poor pony has been moved around a bit) but we have finally found an amazing yard! The proud flesh dried up and created almost a...
