We've been struggling. The yard I'm at has a regular supplier but he started sending the most horrible hay which was so awful the horses wouldn't eat it. Some of the liveries started sourcing their own hay and that was very hit and miss. Even the haylage that a couple of the liveries bought in...

Even worse, car drivers who park so that they make the space next to them too small for anyone else to get a car in to. Usually on a busy weekend shopping day when spaces are already hard to find.

Always have banks. Sam uses them as a pillow. I lift the banks every day when I muck out so they don't get an accumulation of dust bitty bits at the bottom. I've done banks all my horsey life and really struggle when I do the yard and have to do flat beds as starting with the banks when I'm...

I regularly dream of my first pony Moon and that she's back with me even though she was PTS in 2006 age 25. (I'd had her since she was a 2yo. I also dream about my 3rd horse Ronan who I bought in 2001 and placed on loan in 2006 and was PTS in 2013 age 20. Oddly, I never dream of my 2nd horse...

I'm with the 'ignore them' mob. My friend is around 5'4 and used to jump my 14.2 slightly built arabxwelsh senior affiliated SJ and win regularly. Moon never struggled and she was unbeatable in the jumps offs. Another friend, around 5'5" has a 14.1hh welsh D and won the Addington Winter Prelim...

I got those, Sam absolutely loves it when I use them. He's so funny. He points to the bits he wants me to attack next LOL

I ordered my plum CC but not the red as red isn't a colour I tend to choose personally. TBH I don't think now there's a colour anyone could come up with that I want but don't have yet LOL.

Well, I've known of people who have bought a horse and kept it an excellent yard with lovely big boxes, great facilities etc. However, the owners managed to turn a nice easy going horse in to a hyper bucking bronco by not riding it enough and stuffing it full of oats despite being shown by the...

I buy my horse lots of goodies, he also has a great life. He goes out in a nice field all day every day, has teeth checks, back checks, saddle checks etc. I make his work as much fun for him as possible. I put carrots and apples in his feed. I scratch his itchy bits to order etc. etc. etc...

I thought I'd given up forever when my 25 yo pony who I'd had since she was 2 had to be PTS and someone asked if they could have my gelding on loan and I almost bit her hand off. I'd started finding it all too much of a chore, wasn't enjoying competing any more, all my passion seemed to have...

Wow, I so want to get mine done in the Azure Blue with black and silver swirls :) Sorry, can't be of more help but as far as I'm concerned any colour will do as long as it's some variation of blue LOL

Well, the answer is easy, provide more places for people to ride away from roads/pavements/through the middle of housing estates etc.

I've only heard of that and the re-launch of plum and another version of blueberry so far.

Ponies all the way for me. I have a 15.1 connie x and he definitely is a big pony as opposed to a small horse. That was one of the features that drew me to him. I just love his cheeky character and pony intelligence :)

Teal looks great on virtually any colour.
