oh i do enjoy it, no doubt about that, but he doesnt have a limit and enjoys himself far too much! trouble is wehavnt got great hacking and a good blast normally lasts only a couple of seconds and he wants more but i cant give him more :( i cant do everyday as i work long hours and only get...

mines a bit of a chunk atm too, all belly! there seems to be a pattern of loopy welsh x's going on!

He does have shoes on, about 3 years ago we tried him without but he got very footsore and ended up lame so we cant really keep him unshod

ahh thankyou! is there any specific brands or feed you know of which you can recommend?

Would feed high in fibre make things worse??

is it?? i never knew that.. this i where im probably going wrong! :( i'm definitely going to look into other options now!

He used to be on very basic cubes and chaff but he doesnt keep condition very well in winter especially. anything with the slighest bit of sugar in is a no no, its so hard trying to find the right feed without losing condition etc

He can be spooky also, he's recently decided that the cows we have ridden past for the last 5 years are now very scary! resulting in stopping dead at whatever pace, we all know what that equals for me!!! ahh changing feed is a nightmare, hard to know what to try, he doesnt mind tho, he'll...

Never thought of a calmer! you see everywhere calmers for mares (which other horse is) but none for geldings, whats there about? I've used circles before, normally doesnt help, just sets off again, although it has helped have a very flexible horse!

thanks for replying. The bit he has atm is a sweet iron tom thumb, we've tried so many bits! even bitless, and that was the best by far but hes recently finding ways to avoid it! He has 16+ mix and hi-fi senior morning and night and also has hay. he did have a lick in his stable a while...

Hey guys :) Just after a bit of advice really, i own a 14.2 arab x welsh x probably other things! he's 18 but thinks hes 3 half the time! He has had most of winter off due to work commitments, lighting no school etc, just recently he's becoming more of a handful while hacking, he's always been...

cherry was my fave until i got the toffee apple one! atleast im not the only one - i thought i was slightly mad!

I brought my horse one of these the other day, opened it and it smelt georgeous!! i had to lick it its lovely!!!!!!!!!! i was kind of hoping he wouldn't like it am i the only one whos ever licked a horse likit?

while in the stable he cannot see another horse as there is a pipe in between his stable and the next. i dont literally stand with my head in between his legs i stand at the side and bend down, but thank you lol we are working together and he is much more better now, we have a bond which i dont...

i agree with the cons, simular experiences with loaning, one day your all happy with the horse everything going fine the next you find out the horse has been put up for sale with out you even being told until a potential buyer is coming to view your horse...its very heartbreaking
