I have pm'd you.

Small DIY yard (8 horses max) £105 a month for stable own lockable big store room unlimited use of UNLIT sandschool which never floods, good hacking and lots of well draining grazing (24 hrs in summer if wanted). It is about £20 a month cheaper than the going rate around here though (East...

Hope I didn't offend you about Ty. I'm sure he is lovely. It was just as you said that you didn't trust him and after reading older posts I thought it would make him unsuitable for a novice person which unfortunately most hacking homes tend to be. I'll go back to the original question in the...

I have read a lot of your posts and agree with Jaylen. I think if I was in your situation and someone I liked had offered to buy Oscar it would be too good to turn down. I would worry about selling Ty though, as if he is not a plod it will be very difficult to find a hacking home for him and he...

Is your trailer smaller than the one he was use to? Or is he not use to travel boots? My horse was awful too when I bought him. He destroyed his brand new horseware travel boots but luckily didn't injure himself. I spoke to the last owner and she said she had only ever used bandages on him and I...

Hope not because my pony loves the one that over hangs his paddock!!

When I had my horses "Irish Horse Register" passport changed to me it was FREE. I emailed them and they said to just send it to them with a covering letter and it was returned within a week all re stamped with my name. This was 7 yrs ago but when I moved I re sent it off to them to get my...

I'm in Warlingham which has a massive horse population. It has a 2 local Riding Clubs and through the summer there is nearly an unaffiliated show on every weekend hackable from where my horse is. I now live in Warlingham itself which is 15 minute drive from East Croydon station but used to live...

I was at a racing yard one day when I saw someone mixing in some straw to a shaving bed. I ask what they were doing and the trainer said that they do it for all the poo eaters. He said in all his many years of experience it was the only cure. Basically I think it is usally boredom or lack of...

Same as tye_bo. Was the NF pony already at the yard on grass livery? If not than as a yard owner I would be annoyed a strange horse was brought to the yard without consent of me first. The money wouldn't be an issue and I wouldn't make you tack up on the car park as that is petty but I would be...

Also a cambridge blue one on ebay that says in stock. Oberon Equestrian.

Their website is different stock to the shop. The say they have 2 navy bound red and 1 burgandy 6ft 6. Never known it to be wrong before! Have a look.

I have given up with my horse. I have had him for 7 yrs. If tied up outside he always breaks away in a panic at high speed so I just loop the rope through the twine without a knot. It's his only fault so I just put up with it. Just have to keep an eye on the rope and not leave him alone for more...

www.rideaway.co.uk They tell you their stock so you know if you can have it quickly.

This bit is a Sweet Iron bit with the copper bits on for extra control on strong horse. It is very similar in action to a copper roller. The sweet iron bits are very good bits and I used a plain loose ring french link snaffle one for flatwork and dressage for many years on my old horse. I did...
