Hi All, I’m looking for any recommendations of saddle brands / styles which have worked for Haflingers and/or round barrel shaped ponies! I’ve tried a number from: Albion, Fairfax, Ideal, Kent & Masters but they either don’t make sufficient contact or are thrown to the left / right. Would...

I’m looking for a black leather snaffle bridle with a removable flash for my Haflinger made. Having looked online I’m overwhelmed with the choice, with them ranging from £30 to £300, anatomical or regular etc etc ! So far the Premier Equine Rizzo looks good if anyone has any experience with...

Ah amazing! This gives me the hope I need🤣

This is so helpful, thank you. How should I look for stress in her body?

Thank you. She often sighs while we are out there, probably because she’s bored. I’ve been looking into some target training so will start that with her. She can be nappy to leave the yard so I am hoping this can be used to reinforce good behaviour in that scenario too..

Thank you - assume you just apply this around the area as opposed to on top of the sarcoid itself?

Thank you! I must admit my gut told me the same…! I very much intend on taking the wait and see approach, and certainly not doing anything with them until the fly season is over. Fingers crossed that the Sarc-Ex combined with a gut balancer and fly spray keeps them from getting angry..

Hi, I recently purchased a mare with 2 sarcoids on the inside of her left hind. I took a picture of them when she arrived so that I could keep a close eye on their progression. I also immediately put her onto Sarc-Ex having read some encouraging reviews. She’s been on it for just under a month...

Hi Everyone, I recently bought a new mare and am looking to build our groundwork partnership. I’d like to ensure she has good manners in general, but in particular she can be quite a herd bound & stressy/strong willed girl. She’s quite happy to walk when I walk, stop when I stop, back up &...

we have a stable cat on our yard and i am wondering if anyone has any tips to keep them snug through these chilly (and seemingly very wet) months :)

that's a good point and i'll certainly look into it thank you all for your help :D

yes i do but the surface is too wet and deep through the winter to ride on

these are all really good ideas and thank you! but most of them require a school which i can/someone can ride in but sadly that facility is not available to me!

i'm one of those people who just could not have someone else riding their horse! we have a flood lit school but it is so deep and wet i don't ride in it

i am unable to ride my horse in the week due to other commitments and the dark mornings/night! any ideas of how the work i can do with her at the weekends can help her stay fit or any tips?
