    Choosing a horse for in-hand showing and horse agility

    Yeah, she has been broken to ride and Mike keeps insisting that my younger sister would be fine to ride her but I'm not sure what do you think? Annabella is 10hh (possibly a little bit taller) 8 years old, was last ridden about 8 weeks ago by a 7 year old off the lead rein doing small jumps. My...

    Choosing a horse for in-hand showing and horse agility

    She has settled in so well :) Had her in the field today doing some trotting poles, weaving poles and then we went for a little walk down to the brook/stream down the lane from my house which she loved! She is such a great little pony, Mike called in earlier to see her and said she looked quite...

    Meet Annabella :) A very sweet cheeky and extremely funny mare! My mum and sister came with me this morning to meet Annabella and we all fell in love! Mike said we could walk her home and have her for 2 weeks and then buy if we like her, he said he will sell her for £200 for us and he will come...

    Choosing a horse for in-hand showing and horse agility

    I have 2 large fields both split into two with electric fencing but I could if need be for the shetland split them into smaller little paddocks for the shetland as I am aware they can easily become overweight and then become prone to laminitis, my cob seems to easily but on weight so in winter...

    Love the idea of getting a shetland :) In fact their is a field down the lane with about 9 shetland ponies in (I think they are actually miniatures) I have spoken to the man so many times, he is very lovely!

    Choosing a horse for in-hand showing and horse agility

    This stunning little mare is right on my doorstep, has done well in in-hand showing and has potential in driving- so I could pursue that side of things as well possibly in the future? My sister has broken two of hers to drive (first one with help from an instructor) so she knows what she is...

    Choosing a horse for in-hand showing and horse agility

    I am not to worried about winning and going super high in the rankings, I really just want some fun! Obviously it would be good to have a winning in-hand pony but I am happy with an outgoing fun little pony who will have a go at different things! :)
