My warmblood was an arse when I bought him age 5. Bronked when I got on. Tried to deck me during lessons. Took off in hand. Broke numerous bridles. I luckily had a very good trainer and we really really worked on ground work. He was scared in his new environment. And also taking the piss. I used...

So 700 pounds is buying you a rotten base and four flat tyres!

I’ve just sold off my big round bales And now getting rid of the small ones. Ready for this years cut to go into barn. Mine are going on spring paddocks next month. So won’t need haying. Hay on the Suffolk/Essex border is still high. 8.50 a bale. Min of 100 bales. That’s local.

My friend was in the exact same situation. Sweet little pony. Daughter lost interest. Wasted in the field. Unfortunately said pony boomeranged back. Awful new owners. And one broken pony. It’s hard making the decision. Been there when my girls gave up. Albeit much older.

My mare is petrified of pigs. Cows. Goats. And donkeys. So I have to avoid a particular hacking route as she has a panic attack.

I had a red premier equine heavy weight on my elderly Arab. Amazing quality. Great clips at the front. 100% waterproof. Worth the money.

A pick up truck went so fast round a blind bend, it skidded sideways. Left tyre marks on the road. I was literally waiting for it to plough into us. Scary moment. Received abuse as well. Registration noted. Police were very good and spoke to the twat. Local scum bag drug dealer who is always...

I rent my own yard. It’s gone up by 1,000 pa.

I brought my old girl back into work after years of being a field ornament and nanny. I literally pooped her tack on and off we went for a stroll down the road. And slowly increased. She absolutely lit up when she knew she was going to be actually doing something. However, I trusted her 💯 as I’d...

I remember when we were buying a horse with agricultural land attached. Our solicitor said we would need change of use. We could put our horses on the field. But we’re absolutely NOT allowed to ride them!

Hope it’s not just a slap on the wrist

I’ve got some big round bales of soft 2026 hay to get rid of. Suffolk. As going into spring paddocks end month. Ive asked some horsey friends but they want it delivered. And are not interested. But are paying tripple what im selling. I’d be borrowing a trailer to collect at 45 pounds each round...

Me too

Funny enough , my tricky loader prefers the 3.5. Wide ramp. And as he’s good in turning my just touching his flank, it was easy. He didn’t like the narrow trailer space with the partitions and rushed when coming out the ramp
