That's a possibility, maybe. Thanks for the suggestion.

A 15:3hh cob. Nothing too fancy, but a very good doer! Mostly in proportion, with a small head, slightly odd ears and an ample rump. Would have a tendency to carry a little more weight than desirable, but in regular work, wouldn't look too bad! Mane-wise, would either be hogged or short and...

This might be a long shot, but guess it's worth asking. Looking for a riding school in or around Cheltenham. Used to ride back in my teens, but am now looking to take it back up again. Was mainly hacking back when I rode weekly, but wouldn't mind having mostly lessons for now. Did ask on...

Not sure they'd approve of me taking a shot of gin to be honest! :) Music sounds like a good idea, and one that might possibly work for me.

Yeah, if I ride him again I'll be focusing on my breathing. Humming a tune in my head sounds good too!

Humm, I could well have been holding my breath without realising it. Thank you for the advice, will remember it for next time.

So, I volunteer for my local RDA centre. Usually just lead the ponies/side walk. However, for the last couple of weeks, they've asked me to ride B, one of the ponies. I have ridden before, but not for the last 11 years or so. Had a lesson on him yesterday, which went fine. It was just me and...

Playmates Children's Riding School in Cheltenham back in the 90's. Think I rode Minstrel (cheeky bay gelding) a few times. I do remember there being a bay called Spider, who no one liked, and Marmaduke who was chestnut.

Little dusting here and there. Most of it has melted now, though.

Looking for a gelding I rode from 2000-2004. Was around 7 when I started riding him, 11 when sold. Would be around 21 or so by now. Was kept at a yard near Guiting Power in Gloucestershire. His owner sold him as she was going to university, I believe. Sorry, no photos, I'm afraid. Ben had his...

Thank you for the welcome! With the riding, I'm hoping to find somewhere to have regular lessons again, which might be tricky (can't drive yet), but if they want me to ride at RDA again, then I'd be willing to. I do enjoy handling the ponies slightly more at the moment.

Ah, I see! No, Molly isn't there any longer. Will make sure to tell Mo - I'm sure she'll remember you! Thanks for the welcome. @Faracat: Thank you for the welcome!

Yep, I am as it happens.

Hello! New around here, but hoping to be fairly active, and am always willing to learn new things about horses and riding. I used to ride from the ages of seven to sixteen, but then lost touch with my last riding instructor. Although I had plans to look for another riding school, life got in...
