My daughter is a South Trent member and she loves it. We've got camp next week and I can't wait lol

I'm off games with a sprained ankle- just typical, I invest in a Point two air jacket and land on my foot. I'll be on the ground support team at our riding club show this weekend instead of riding.

For me it depends on the circumstances. Me and a friend bought an unseen cob colt last year. We just rocked up with a box, checked he had four legs and bought him home. So far he's a lovely boy with no issues, but we have no expectations other than he needs to get bigger than 14.2hh! If it was...

My loan pony is in a wow, and its brilliantly adjustable. Our fitter comes out every few months and adjusts it as required. I find it very comfortable and secure. We are looking to get another soon for our short backed barrel of a cob.

I had this at equine college 20 years ago- honestly don't worry. We were just asked to walk, trot and canter in the indoor school and they assigned our groups based on ability. It was under instruction too- I remember being put on a particularly fresh horse and being encouraged to slow my rise...

Old McDonald had a farm- great when hacking as I can get inspiration from my surroundings and I have to make up animal noises "and on that farm he had a pidgeon, ey ei ey ei oh, with a coo coo here and a coo coo there...."

I think Sophie works well with the horses sent to her and can't say anything negative. But my loan boy went to Will Hunt who is fairly local to you I believe and his owner cant praise Will enough.

I saw the connie, I thought it was a fat cob until I read the description

Flexars definitely

I just bought my 6 year old a pair of beige flexars and she loves them. She's always struggled to unfasten normal jods, so these being a pull up design is a game changer.

I truly believe in them. My share horse can be exactly as the OP describes. Jumps at squirrels, pigeons, blue bins- you name it. We decided to try a cookie one day, but didn't give it to him until I was tacking up. They take time to start working. He set of down our drive at a jog, snorting at...

We have a new Houdini at the moment, so we've been leaving the electric fence on while doing yard jobs. I refuse to duck under the fence while pushing the wheel barrow (I've been zapped on the backside previously pulling that sort of manoeuvre). So I open the fence, push the barrow through and...

The Mystery Machine

Yep, we have a fidget. We've come to the conclusion he has ADHD. There's no cure, we just have to learn to live with it.

yes, 'other mum' bought a bag of stud balancer for our weanling yesterday. £30! His bucket went in a tyre last night as we can't afford for him to chuck it around the stable anymore.
