    I can certainly say that I am not the girl with the pony on loan 😂. I also have my own who I had on loan for all of 3 days until I brought him he's called frankiez For those of you that think it is the teenage girl, do you really think that a teenager would be spending her Friday and...

    WWYD *very long*

    The issues that the pony was having eg stiff and wouldn't bend now have all disappeared as he's comfortable where he is and is happy. The chiro is not a medical need as such now. It's not she can't afford the chiro besucase of the new rug it's all the new charges her yard has added on and they...

    Another horse killed

    As SusanaF said I too hope there is an innocent explanation even if it is upsetting. However I don't understand the horrible people that did this in the first case anyway. I have never heard of it in my area but I still take security measures such as locked gates, tools or anything that could...

    On the prowl for a new quality rug.... decisions!

    I quite like PE rugs, durable and I haven't had one break on me yet and I've got a very very old one still going strong. I also like the reflective strips on the new rugs, good for people thAt have to cross roads and I think just generally is a good idea. I was tempted by the weatherbeeta...

    I think I might be a little one sided in this but that's not surprising as you say I do sing the girls praises you wouldn't know she was fifteen if you had a conversation which her and think I may have painted all parties in the wrong light, she loves the pony too much to let go now. Thanks to...

    I've learned a bit more overnight about the whole thing, of course the parents signed the loan contract the girl has a rather large emergency bank account for vet bills as do her parents should something like that occur. The girls also very lucky as gets gets rather a lot of pocket money so pays...

    I'm not getting myself involved in this sitsurion but I feel compelled to write something the girls mum had asked me what to do but I honestly don't know what advice to give her so I look for your help it will make sense as you read on. I work at a riding school, the pay is rubbish I am...

    Finally, a saddle that fits him!

    Mines also in an older Antill, hes had the same problem as yours. I've been trying to find a saddle that fits well for ages and the Antill seems to be the one even if it is almost bright orange. I was hoping you weren't going to say an Antill as mine is very ugly and I want something else! Glad...

    Saddle suggestions

    Currently having so many problems trying to find a saddle that fits my lad! So far I've tried 3 different styles of Wintec including the jump as well, none of which fit even with a load of flocking. The issue I'm having is that the pony is very flat backed and wide, has no wither but has skinny...

    Shocked by this from WFP

    At the end of the day we ride a living animal above ground level, that has eyes, ears and a brain. We do not speak horse and therefore cannot predict what our horses are going to do. The safest of horses can spook, and just because your horse is at Olympic level doesn't mean that your isn't...

    SJ turnout

    Sorry if anyone was offended by "tat". It's only someone's opinion, not saying it is tat. So she doesn't like sparkles- does it matter? This is why I asked as I have no idea of what's acceptable now, there were no sparkles when I used to jump. However it's interesting to see what some people...
