My thoughts exactly!

Connemaras usually can only grow to 15hh (15.2hh at a push) but the average is 14.2hh. I'd check him to see if he is full Connie, especially as he still has some way to grow! Nevertheless enjoy him! I hated but also loved bringing on my pony of 5 years. She's 9 now and I'd do anything to do it...

£300 per month 1 horse but would depend. For example i would pay less if i had to order a certain no. of shavings/hay etc. a week and pay for those seperately.

Thankyou! I'll check for these things currently just been checking if loose! I'll definitley ask my farrier :)

Great thankyou so much! Is that the shoes or her hooves I need to moisturise? (Sorry to be a pain ha)

We put them out in a small fenced off area (at home). We made that bigger and gradually separated the two until they were on opposite sides. Then I started going for hacks alone instead of riding in the field and leaving in the stable for an hour after a hose. Keep increasing the time until it's...
