    Why Keep So Many? And Especially without Riding??

    I only have two unbacked youngsters and absolutely admire those who are able to so beautifully manage several horses as well as work and possibly look after a family. I've never had more than three myself and that's enough for me! Wonder women/men !

    Presents only horsey people ask for!

    I have asked for a new wheelbarrow, mine has been held together with bale twine for longer than I care to admit... I'd also love Dexters first bridle to be under the tree ready for backing in the summer. I wouldn't dream of asking for his first saddle as I don't want him to know how much I...

    Twilight hack

    Sounds magical. My favourite hacking memory was galloping along the track in the woods with a herd of dear galloping infront of us. Granted the dear were fleeing for their lives with a thundering ginger beast with dinner plates for feet joyfully trying to catch up with them, which in hindsight...

    When do you stable your horse? Do horses actually mind it?

    Both my boy's love being stabled. But they are both greedy so the choice between wondering around munching grass in the rain and standing in one spot stuffing faces is an easy one for them.

    I love this thread! I did bring my husband's pony into the bedroom to wake him up one morning. Worked a treat.

    How big are your paddocks?

    Wow! How many are on 150 acres? I have about 4 acres for a my two, slightly sloped and has a cut out track to one side that they use for their ditch jumping practice much to my panic! They hoon around like idiots and it's terrifying when it's wet.

    Is anyone else sick of ******** fireworks!

    I really feel for anyone who has to deal with stressed animals from fireworks! When i was younger we had huge problems. I can't see them banning the sale of fireworks for the general public because of the revenue, sadly the wellbeing of domestic and wild animals just isn't a priority when you...
