Hi everyone, Quick question - I was away at the weekend and came across a really pretty button hole. It is a fairly discrete size and is plain red. Pretty though and nicely made. Thing is, I am an adult (slightly in denial though apparently). Anyway, I bought the button hole...would it be a...

Thanks! I was hesitant about writing a report. HHO can be such a volatile place, that or no one is sufficiently interested to reply. There are so many fabulous horses on here, its hard for a little native pony to compete!!:rolleyes::D Thank you!:)

Thanks everyone for the lovely comments :) She is back to looking like a skewbald again though unfortunately!! She is just 14'1. When we got her she wasn't broken and as I am 5'7 I thought I would squash her. I hadn't envisioned competing on her at all but thankfully I am getting away with it...

Sorry pressed post to quickly and am on my phone so can't edit! I always think that whenever I ride a horse I'm not used to or indeed isn't used to me, I learn so much about unconscious habits I have that my horse has just adapted to over time! I think that's the one downfall of having your own...

Well done :) it's great experience to get out and about on horses who aren't your own.

Hi all, So a few months back I posted about my 6yo Connemara who I was hoping to do some ridden showing with. Although she is 6 she rides more like a 4 and a half yo because she had a foal at 4 and so was only broken when rising 5. Anyway I have been out to two shows thus far and was supposed...

Final, shameless bump. Anyone else have anything to add?:)

Sorry, I couldn't quote yesterday as I was replying from my phone. Thanks:) I went for a stroll down the road before going into the arena the day these pics are from but should have done more before actually warming up so I will keep that in mind. Agree regarding the soft hand. Believe...

No YouTube I'm afraid but the video is a photobucket link so should work? Thanks for the replies and compliments for the pony. She's a good girl and I want to do her justice. Agree with things needing to be more supple and relaxed and am working towards this at the moment. Do you flex to both...

No one?

Hi all, About 6 months or so ago I posted a video of me riding and I got some really good constructive feedback which I was able to apply to my riding to try and improve. I am hoping to pick a few more brains again today:) So a bit of background: This is a 6yo Connemara who was broken...

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone had a recommendation for new reins for a double bridle for ridden showing which preferably dont make me go :eek: when I see the price! I need a plain dressage rein and a laced one. Thanks:)

Wow what gorgeous horses! Bailey has quite the pop on him :eek: And I ADORE your spotty! What colour Anky is this, I must have it! She is so pretty, she is like a my little pony doll! What height is she? Will you show her or what is your plan for her? The drawing looks very apt also!

Well done that is a fantastic achievement! Your mare is v pretty! :)

Great report Clear Light. Your posts are always a pleasure to read, you are such a beautiful rider! :)
