I definitely saw this with my mare. She'd been away for schooling, through the sales, and then to the lady I bought her from in a big herd for a couple of years. The first few weeks she was very quiet. Then we had spooky, reactive and unsettled and then when we moved to the summer field a few...

Oh yes I've met some pretty nutty owners too whose horses and horse care I was uncomfortable with don't be tempted to stick it out if you don't feel safe etc.

It sounds like you are far more honest about your abilities than a lot who don't considered themselves novices. Not sure what area you are in or what sort of time you can commit to can you do during the week as a lot of people struggle with week days in the winter? Also are you small...

I really should check out how he was bred he only passed away recently in his mid thirties! I love how the NF stallions all have pictures online.

Oh my gosh he's gorgeous 🥰 I would love a Thundercloud baby one day the pinker the better. I learned to ride on a palomino NF who was the gentlest boy.

third solo walk went a bit further and apart from one attempted zoomy round the corner on the way home she was super chill. I'm pretty convinced the main motivation is not to end up solo hacking but because I can't be bothered to groom properly 😅 she does a great my little pony impression.

@smolmaus love the outfit 🤩 Put the hacking demons to bed and managed a nice ride even though it was windy. D was very keen to be out.

Cycling cleats would be amazing they are sooo narrow!

Not guilty implies a far more robust process than appears to have occurred

Exactly, for hacking etc. I'd be quite happy in cages and trainers but I do want to do a bit of showing and dressage without pain and look relatively smart so they will do for that I think. When you do all your shopping online it would really help to have some toe box measurements otherwise it's...

excuse the muddy boots 😅 So these are the Jim Greens I have ended up with. Took a bit of trial and error to get the size right as it turns out I can't measure my own feet. I have only been wearing them to the office so far to break them in as they are thick leather and quite stiff. I haven't...

Ended up doing to an impromptu trance night 🕺so was a bit lame this morning. Managed a little solo tootle up the lane again before the rain and did our usual Sunday TLC.

Ah yes I also go out like a giant orange cone 😁 D did a lesson yesterday with a delightful preteen so could catch up on work and Xmas errands. I have a friend to walk out with us today so we will hopefully got for an amble at the very least to wash the mud off in the river running down the road.

I'm sure they've asked for money for hay for the last couple of winters. I do think they've sort of priced themselves out of the market. I know a fair few people who have wanted to ride there in the past few years mostly locals but won't pay that much.

Quite! I mean I ride pony I could be a minor 😅 he's known, there will be words. It's not like were on a busy road it's a single track road to one village where there are tractors, horses and dog walkers around every bend. Apologise I'm ranting in the nice thread.
