    To rejoin the horsey world or not....

    Thank you so much for your replies everyone. I have previously contacted the local RDA and got told they have too many volunteers so they don't need me (shame as I volunteered there from the age of 7 until I was 15..... many years ago!). I will never call a yard owner and apologise... 2 of...

    To rejoin the horsey world or not....

    Hey everyone So after nearly 18 months away from horses after I had to have J pts and all the drama that came with that I find myself missing horses. When I gave up I sold everything, horsebox, saddle, everything. I find myself missing being around them. Unfortunately due to the drama around...

    Wobblers Exeriences

    It might be better to do your own thread and get more traffic. And stop me from re-reading the heartache from less than a year ago

    Successful lockdown puppy thread

    I got Wally in March. I decided the day before we got him (I know, I know!) He is a cockapoo and I think we got lucky with his personality! We have done lots of training with him and we have a good routine of sniffy walks and playing around my job. We couldn't have got a better dog. He is part...

    Cocker, sprocker or Cockapoo?

    I have a cockapoo. I have to say I think we were very very lucky with him. He does have crazy 5 minutes (he is 9 months) but we do lots of sniffing walks, brain games/training and he is honestly so good. We have been to training and are starting sniff training soon to keep his brain active...

    Is there (or should there be) a ceiling weight to horse riding

    People put weight limits on "loan" adverts, and not just for ponies/ fine horses. I've seen weight limits on 12 year old sports horses. I've never seen one on a for sale advert which is interesting. I'm bigger than I want to be but I'm currently nowhere near a horse. I would be mortified if...

    Feel like just giving up

    Maybe have a little break. I did that 2 years ago I was looking and saw pretty much every single lame horse out there, and some that just weren't suitable for me (nervous nelly!). I had a break of a couple of weeks and then found J. Take the pressure off a bit as its crazy out there at the...

    Sharers what do you do/enjoy?

    When I did it I mucked out or poo picked if he had been out, did feeds for evening and morning, haynets for evening (if out he would have hay in field) then sometimes rode. Unfortunately I didn't get to do much riding but I would have loved to have hacked. Hacking was my favourite with all my...

    How would you have handled this? (Sharer situation)

    Sounds as if Mary knew it was a mistake by her calling you and explaining. I think she will probably make her excuses to Jane going forward and not ride out with her. I don't think you need to speak with Mary but maybe a little word in saying "You can tell Jane or others you don't want to...

    What are your thoughts on this story (horse prosthetics)

    It's really interesting as this was posted on my counties horsey Facebook page and my gut reaction was absolutely not. It was interesting that people thought the same but even more people thought it was amazing and the people who didn't were called out as being negative and obviously didn't...

    Should I hit the panic button?

    Should I hit the panic button?

    I'm so sorry you have all this to deal with. I do hope once the shock subsides a bit that you will enjoy it possibly. Glad your YO is clued up though that's a great positive x

    Would this be completely mad?

    I've bought one one viewing before and also one weeks trial and another on two viewings. To be fair I knew with all 3 I would buy them so as long as she does tick your boxes I would go for it.

    Young horse saddle

    If you haven't already, please look at Louisa Cuomo Saddles (https://louisamariacuomosaddles.com/). She is based in Kent but travels all over the country. She does only sell her own saddles but these saddles are made to fit horses better. They aren't stupidly expensive either. Have a look on...
