Friend has been there years place needs a good tidy up but other than that is ok. Close to my work too which is important. I can always pop up there in my lunch hour if need be etc. I would be saving so much money I really could get myself sorted and back on my feet a lot quicker. I think it's a...

I've done it before and whilst it did drive me a bit mad I think it will be much nicer with my friend!

I think I know the answer but just need that little push. I hate my yard - all bar one person is two faced, yard owner is a bit psycho. Yard is lovely though decent stables and fields etc. just extremely pricey :-( friend offered for me to move in with her lot. V.v reasonable rent but no...

Thanks. I'm going to ring the manufacturer tomorrow. Also have the problem that I can't necessarily get much in the way of different feeds as I'm not on the mainland!

So the old boy can no longer manage his haylage. I've found that he will eat high fibre cubes (unsoaked) but isn't keen on chaff alone. I've been researching the "haynet in a bucket" and wondered if I can feed 1.5% of his body weight in cubes alone? He won't eat mollichaff, Alfa a or sugar beet...

Thanks I've text this on to Hellspells

You beat me to doing this. I'll keep an eye also as I know u have the show rach

Does he no longer post about his antics anymore? If he does can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks for all your replies - I guess I just needed you lot to tell me that my lot will be fine and not Worried about living out. Scrunchie that made me laugh - my dads nickname is doonie - he too is poorly and had just had a heart ablation! I told him about your horse being called dooney and...

How do you manage? I was lucky enough to have my horses at home when I was married but when I got divorced it all had to change. I was lucky to be able to keep them at my old house before the new owner got permission to redevelop but last summer I had to move. I managed to find some run down...

When I taught my daughter to ride I used to say to her "pretend the bit is a piece of barbed wire and any movement will hurt Sox, Bella, Herbie, Letty* (* delete as appropriate!!)" - this is how I was taught and it really seemed to work! Friends are alway commenting on what soft hands she has!

Did you pay for the materials and the erection of the fencing or just the erection of the fencing?

I also appreciate that the good ponies usually always go by word of mouth I was just hoping someone may know of something that isn't yet advertised etc.

Having spoken to my friend it turns out she would consider a mare. It would only do "local" showing, pc/riding club and our local BSJA nursery classes (please don't think BS on a UK scale). They run to BS rules etc but do ask for height certs. We are not based on the mainland so a trip over...

My friend wants the daughter to have as long as possible with the pony - they already have a 11.3/12 hand pony who is more A l/r pony. A height cert would be ideal as you get asked for them over here.
