https://www.sheephamsaddles.com/shop/748-black-17-mw-fit-oakland-house-saddlery-english-leather-gp-saddle/?v=79cba1185463 Wondering if anyone knows what other, more common, makes might have a similar fit? Looking for a WH cut ideally. Said new saddle will of course be fitted properly but I’m...

Oh that’s super helpful, thank you! One is a LW hunter and the other is a MW cob, chunky but not massive. We wouldn’t be doing long journeys or keeping them on the trailer for long periods of time anyway.

As per the title really, unfortunately I’m not in a position to try them in a 505 before I buy. I’m in two minds - do I hang out and save a bit longer to buy a 510? Current budget is only about £1500. Yes I know the 505 is supposed to take 2 x 16.2’s BUT does it, are they going to be mega...

It wasn't roped off and there were no signs/any indications that it was the actual course. Hard to explain but the majority of the fences were in a field, looked like the full course to me, then they came up a hill, out of the field and crossed into another field to finish. The middle section...

Very briefly, I was at the farm this afternoon with my three children. Saw that there was a ODE going on, one child wanted to watch sj another the xc so we headed towards a group of people where we could see both phases. Children are walking next to me. Next second, I heard manic shouting over...

Thank you, it gives me hope! It transpires that pony has no history of SI so whilst I'm over the moon that she wasn't misold, I've now probably ruined my relationship with her breeder :( I'm keeping my fingers crossed that she responds to treatment well and we can have the life together that...

Thanks for all your replies. I'm said 'friend', tried to make it anonymous but it's too much hassle and probably totally obvious anyway. Hope I don't look a total weirdo. Vet has confirmed SI this morning, I'm beyond gutted. Pony is on antibiotics and a topical ointment, can't for the life...

It's an awful situation for her. Vet is coming out tomorrow so will know more then. Worried that seller will claim SI had only just developed now but given the length of its mane it looks a bit suspicious. My friend is waiting until the vet has been before deciding how to proceed.

Friend has had her new horse (4 yo) for about 3 weeks. During the viewing she specifically asked about a history of sweet itch and was told there have never been any issues. Mane was short and was explained by a field mate chewing it off last summer. At the weekend she noticed that a patch about...

I was thinking plum or berry! Maybe even the mustard. I really love all the blue shades but I'll go for the girly colours first 😉

Ok, so I'm new to matchy matchy...what would people suggest for this little monster? She only arrived 5 hours ago, eek, so haven't got great pics I'm afraid. Eta. Ignore the too small headcollar, totally misjudged the size! 😂 She's also unbacked, I'm just on a new pony high...

I know you're fairly local to myself...I may be selling pony and I assume my part loaner would be on the lookout for another one. She's super reliable, very sweet, extremely shy but hasn't been a problem, is just out of riding school so isn't massively experienced but handles my sharp mare...

Thanks :) I've always been desperate for my own place but this isn't right for me. I'm going to stay where I am and maybe in the future something more suitable will come up. Think I've had a mini breakdown this morning about this!

So, currently on a yard that I love - can't fault it, can be bitchy but not too bad compared to others I've been on. Just had a message off my friend that a field has come up for rent by hers. It's further away but we could split checks so I wouldn't HAVE to go every day, pony could live out...

Two young girls have taken my metal curry comb and used it on a pony! Maybe I'm old school as I don't see anyone else using them nowadays
