    Companion pony - what do I do !?!

    At the time she was bred from we only has her and another tiny pony, no cows at the time and i wasnt into horses so we had space to bring the foal up and break her in for my sister to ride. You wouldnt believe the amount of times my dad says 'stick her in foal so she has a use' and i have had to...

    Companion pony - what do I do !?!

    sugar and spice - i am in a predicament which i should have seen coming. The riding school no longer has space for poppy as that is something i looked into, the sharer pays all of poppys bills and the livery pays a small amount to us which generally goes back into the horses. So basically i only...

    Companion pony - what do I do !?!

    I understand, no one is more upset than myself to have to go through this. I dont fob my ponies off, its just the way things have worked out. I have tried to sell Poppy my mare who i lost all confidence with, and now she is being shared and i wouldnt want her going anywhere on loan as the girl...

    Companion pony - what do I do !?!

    I agree, thats why I havent been keen on contacting them as I am aware they must be full and struggling, and mainly for welfare cases. I thought maybe someone might know of someone up on the hills who liked to take in ponies with a donation, im sure ive heard of them before. Im not sure I could...

    Companion pony - what do I do !?!

    Possibly, Its constantly on my mind that i just wont be able to look after her, she loves where she is at the moment and gets looked after by two small children who love her to. Unfortunetly the lady wants her one week and the next she doesn't, just because its convenient for her to send her...

    Companion pony - what do I do !?!

    I was hoping for more of sanctuaries, or if there are people with lots of land who take ponies in etc where she can live out in a herd or something. I dont want justification that its the right thing to do, it the last thing I want for her, but in reality it may be a possibility if i cant find a...

    Companion pony - what do I do !?!

    Perhaps this was a silly mistake to look for answers on a forum, I am new to it and have found people to be very supportive to one another. My own pony Poppy was for sale at the start of the year and in June we found a buyer, I then found the pony of my dreams, diesel who has given me my...

    Companion pony - what do I do !?!

    I CAN NOT BUILD ANOTHER STABLE!!! NOT AN OPTION! The yard is not fenced off so she cant be turned loose, i tried putting electric fencing around the yard so she could be in at night but it didnt work as its all gravel so wasnt sturdy enough. one of the girls who is sharing a pony is paying...

    Companion pony - what do I do !?!

    Oh dear... All severely missing the point. This pony is a stress head who trusts only the people she knows, she is scared of men, my dads friend bought her to save her from the meat man and we have tried everything with her. I last tried to back her 2 years ago and she just isn't safe to ride...

    Companion pony - what do I do !?!

    She gets left alone at night time when she is here which means she paces the fence line ALL night and by the time we get back to her she is white with sweat and covered head to toe in mud- not my idea Of the perfect way for a pony to live. I wish I could afford to put a stable up and keep her on...

    Companion pony - what do I do !?!

    I am 21 yo and have little or no money at all I work as much as I can and am also studying. I was just 11 when the pony was bought so not my decision or responsibility at the time. I think it's fair to say we have given her all that we could. My sister owns a pony, I own one and the other 2 are...

    Looking for combo rug that won't pull mane out..any ideas?

    Weather beeta freestyle ! They have a wither pad which raises the rug off the neck and stops rubbing. They are a little pricier at around £100 + but well worth the money i say!!! They come in different styles as well, I'm going for the medium detach a neck one but they do combos and also there...
