Thanks for the info - that is interesting (to me anyway). I bought a new cheyenne last year so have just gone and checked the serial number which is 11 01 13 3015 31381 which all fits with it being a size 0 and black - its the drytex version though so I guess that is what the 11 at the start...

I am experiencing the same with my pony. I've had him 2 years this October. It happened this time last year and I was not sure why he seemed lethargic, even on slightly cooler days. This year I have last years experience to go on so assume the same thing is happening. He's a Welsh c so grows a...

When I first got my welsh C in October 2014 (so being fluffy doesn't help) to a picture I took this morning.

I recently bought a barefoot saddle through Mariaana at Better Saddles. She was very helpful and I am extremely happy with my purchase. I got a Cheyenne which was the right saddle for me and my pony but of course it depends on what you intend to do and your personal preferences. You really need...

Well done!! I read this post through to the end as it was where I was a year ago. It's so important to find an approach that works within your comfort zone otherwise things can get worse.

Hello, just thought I would introduce myself to the forum. I joined a while ago when I became a horse owner again after a very long break. I am a 40 year old mum of 2 boys and a very much loved Welsh C called Tubby. I adopted Tubby through Horses 4 Homes in 2014 and he is a fab pony who I've had...

Thanks, I'm slightly neurotic about not letting my native get too porky so seemed a good idea to put my energy into something positive to benefit others! Shame you couldn't view the site very well on your phone though...

Hi all, I have recently registered to take part in this project after a friend sent me a link for it. Its a collaboration between World Horse Welfare, the Animal Health Trust and the Royal Veterinary College. The project aims to get as many horse owners as possible to regularly record their...
