Thank you everyone. I think i'm going to take the plunge and get some brown boots!! Now to find ones that will fit my short but slighty wide calf! :oops:

I want to treat myself to a pair of long boots. I personally love brown boots and I have always worn brown jod boots and chaps etc. But although these new boots I plan to buy will be mostly used for my general riding, I dont want to spend alot of money on a brown pair if I then can't clean...

Thank you! didnt try that and given how he behaved I wouldn’t want myself nor anyone attempting to get on bareback

Thank you! Will read up!

Yes, last month, slightly higher than the cut off but since he looked so well and showed no symptoms outwardly vet was happy for him to continue on half a tab. Which he’s been on over a year now

Okay where to start... I’m sorry this may be long! So my lad is 23 years old, has PPID, in very light work 3x a week is pretty sensitive/spooky and sharp has been all his life but over the weekend he’s just taken a 360 I went to ride Saturday and I thought he was just napping because I was...

Hello all! A new friend has offered to come by my yard to pick me and my horse up to go for a hack in the local woods next week. I jumped at the chance as I have no transport and I thought well if I don’t say yes I won’t get offered it again! However, I haven’t travelled my horse in over 2 1/2...

Yes I 100% agree with you. He did not used to behave in such a way when he would get a right telling off before when he acted up. I got after him and rode him. But I’m being too soft because he’s unfit and older now.

Unfortunately not - they all have very placid confidence givers and I wouldn’t want to put them on something they aren’t used too

Because I’ve had him 7 years and these things he does never used to bother me. I was a confident teen. But I’ve been out of regular work with him for 3 years due to uni. He’s also 22 now and has cushings so I couldn’t sell him - I also doubt any confident teen is interested in loaning a...

Haha.. he’s an Arab cross .. and yes, if you don’t constantly keep him thinking or he tries his luck once he’ll keep doing it. Hence my vicious cycle right now I do want to just lunge him and run him dry but think I feel like I have to bring him back the correct way because of his age...

In a perfect world I do want this :) However .. without disrespect to my wonderful YO she isn’t a highly qualified instructor so to speak and I don’t really think I would get all those benefits you mentioned. She’s cheaper than an instructor that would be able to come to me and offer...

I agree with thinking about EMS. Also all those issues you talk about relating to his sheath were the reasons I asked my vet to testing for PPID which came back positive for me

I’ve lost confidence with my riding and I’ll admit that But, I keep going for many reasons 1) it didn’t always used to be this way. Once I was confident, decent little rider, but time out of the saddle and I’ve lost it 2) my pony is 22 and has cushings - I couldn’t possibly sell him...

Yes a bridle, lunge line clipped through the bit. He hates it’s over his poll. My YO previously lunged him once a week (back when I was riding regularly) in a Pessoa but again, since he’s unfit we aren’t doing that yet Yes I have my mum on her free nights but she not really horsey...
