Thank you to everyone who has given me advice and taken the time to send me private messages. I shall choose to ignore those who have been calling me a troll and taking the mickey out of me. I have spent the day phoning round livery yards and we are looking at some at the weekend. Our plan is...

No she is fed a low calorie feed balancer I'm not sure why you are trying to test me on how much I know. I came on here for advice, not made to feel like a bad horse owner.

When did I ever say she was a laminitic?

Oh course I know what laminitis is, that's why we helped her lose weight when we got her. I don't think I'll be posting here again if these are the responses I get

No we give her carrots. I don't understand why this is relevant. I just want my daughter to be happy around her pony again.

Of course she understands when your hands are empty, she's not stupid!

What's wrong with my name? Dottie is short for Dorothy. I came on here for advice about my daughters pony, not to be bullied about my name

I'm just trying to get advice, not sure why that makes me a troll or clueless. Won't be coming on here for advice again.

Huh? Why are you talking about trolls?

Yes I used to work at the stables when I was younger. We only give her treats when she is being good and show her our empty hands when we have ran out.

When she tries to bite I just ignore her, and then give her lots of treats when she is being good. We have an instructor coming to us at the weekend, I will ask her what she thinks.

So when she barges I should smack her? I don't think so. I'm not taking her back to a yard manager who hits horses. She's staying at home where I can make sure she is properly cared for.

Oh dear what? She said she smacked her because she stood on her toe. I don't agree with hitting animals, what's wrong with that?

Yes she was brought in and turned out by the yard manager. Which is one of the reasons we fell out - I saw her smack the pony when she was leading it one day.

Thanks Antw23uk but I think we can look after a small pony! No can't take it back, we had a falling out with the yard manager when we left so we are not on speaking terms at the moment.
