I kinda need those people who pay for their tot to ride the shetland at the local riding school but can't advertise there for obvious reasons, not to mention riding schools have it tough enough with people poaching their clients

Trouble is I find that becuase this pony is only suitable for little people they either do not already own a horse and therefore do not visit tack shops or if they do there is already ponies at the yard they are at that little one can ride now and again. This pony is quite elderly and not up...

I am trying to find the best place to advertise a share in my daughters pony. she isn't really that interested but I don't want to sell the pony just yet, I would like to give her more time as she gets older. I can't find anywhere that advertises pony shares in the south of england. Also I...

Crosses are often hypoellergenic even if they are smooth coated but there are no gaurantees. It is also worth noting that they are not curly in the summer and that unwanted curly coat in the winter can be clipped off leaviing a lovely crimpy mane and tail akin to a spanish horse. Pure...
