    Viewing questions when buying a ridden horse - have I forgotten anything?

    I used TFFs wonderful list of questions when buying Fluffles as have also only ever bought youngsters, bred foals or purchased shetlands. It was so helpful, I printed it out and took a pen with me 😀

    Here comes Trouble

    Send him here, he's beautiful and will fit right in. One of my little Scottish bandits has taken to moving in with the big ponies whenever she fancies a change. Which would be fine but one of the big ponies favourite game is 'fling the shetland' yet in she still goes. Sigh ETA, around most of...

    Most stupid thing you've called the vet for?

    Called vet out once because my horse behaved impeccably xc schooling. Was convinced she was dying 🙈 Eta the horse in question was a chestnut tb x welsh mare incase anyone wonders why I was a bit hysterical at this good behaviour 🤭

    Got the ball rolling for a potential 2025 foal - wish me luck!

    Is Little Madam home now @Titchy Pony 😀 Pre breeding check today, all looks normal, she's got a 40mm folicle but we are going to let it pop and short cycle her as she's not the easiest to load at best of times so don't want the time pressure of she needs to be in right now. Also it's blowing a...

    Tapeworm only wormers

    If you had the equisal test via Westgate ask them and they will tell you best wormer to use. I've just used double dose of Strongid-p at their suggestion.

    Anyone sprained/ torn their ACL?

    I completely ruptured mine in 2018. Also MCL and a few small fractures at back of knee. Didn't have it reconstructed as the ends both stuck them selves down and we're stable enough that a repair most likely wouldn't have made it anymore stable and I'd have to have 6-9 months off riding. It took...

    Restraining the cob urge to snack

    A friend had great success with something similar called a Munch'n'done stopping her over growing thelwell (16.2 ID) diving for snacks. Might be worth a trawl of eBay or marketplace to see if any second hand versions of either of these are for sale?

    Got the ball rolling for a potential 2025 foal - wish me luck!

    Ooh exciting TP! Fingers crossed 🤞🏼 I've filled in and posted off form for semen, will call vets Tuesday and get booked in for pre breeding check. I really wanted her to have gone weeks ago, and we are still knee deep in mud here but don't want to leave it much longer. Hoping she's cycling and...

    Child equestrian influencers

    At one point I think mummy moted the idea of doing a sort of paid subscription to watch videos of her little moppets. That's was after her idea of people paying 'to come for a picnic with the ponies at the fairy glade' got massively shot down for being just an awful idea.

    When to buy your first pony?

    Would you be able to keep the cob at your grandparents or at livery? I did actually get my first horse aged 15, the deal was I had to pay for and look after it all myself including getting to and from the field where she lived. I started saving for her at around your age and in the end was given...

    Child equestrian influencers

    Having met Harlow and mummy the whole thing makes me very uncomfortable. I don't doubt mummy is good at her job and I applaud her for making good money etc as a model/photographer. But something makes me incredibly uneasy about the way the poor child is protrayed and what it's teaching her and...
