Tbh I can't see why 9st is supposedly too heavy for a 13.2hh nf. I had a 13.0hh nf who could carry about 10st probs most we ever had on her was 9 but she was fine :)
Hi I bought a horse called Handley Barnes Chesney from a lady called Michelle He is 15.1/2 bay gelding with a stripe leading down one side of his face. I think this is likely to be the same horse I have had him since Augest and so far found him to be a fantastic trustworthy horse who has fallen...
I didn't know it could kill I thought it cant kill them but it can get to the point when their pedol bone has droped and rotated that it is kinder to have them PTS
My mare Tilly has just had a beatiful TB chestnut foal! Thing is she has exactly the same nature and coloured coat as my old pony that died bang on a month ago today........... The foal was also born on my birthday! Two names in question.................Katie or Karma????? :rolleyes: :rolleyes...
I used to ride my old pony Kit bareback jumped her up to 2.9ft I couldnt with my other horse though because he is cold backed and more of a serious competitin horse- Handley Chesney Barnes or Chez. I really miss something I can gallop about and jump random things! R.I.P Kit kat :)
I wouldn't go as far as to say ban it, but I do think the jockeys should reduce use of the crop, less horses run at once and there should be some type of retirement home using some of the spare money to guide the horses though their eldery/retired days :)
