Yes completely understand what you mean. She's amazing with the really good riders and I have been working with 3 different instructors to help me improve over the last 5 months but I think I'm just getting a bit down on it now as to hack and canter/gallop behind someone is not fun at all and we...

Yes get your point. I guess my real question is 'Am I not a good enough rider for my loan horse' haha. But I assume the answer is yes!

Does anybody ever feel like their horse is too strong for them? I have a 16.2 loan horse who gets very, very strong at the back and it takes all my strength to hold her. She flys jumping, half halting her all the way but one slip up and she tanks me. I have been recently riding my friends...

Your stories have gave me such hope. So great to hear. Thank you so much for replying everyone. May my mare be as lucky as your guys.

My amazing loan horse has been kicked in the field and could of possibly broken or fractured her splint bone. She had to have staples and is on box rest with X-rays next week. We have been getting on so well, I'm just really gutted even though everyone keeps telling me it will be fine. I...

Dogs should never go loose in public areas? Absolutely ridiculous. Being in the UK where 'dog parks' are not a thing like America, where are people to exercise their dogs? Unfortunately not everyone has a 'field' at home. Get real.

This. People who don't take responsibility are the bain of my life (at the yard!) My yard owner is very cut and dry, she doesn't like something, she will tell you outright and that's fine. Her land, her rules and it's never anything unreasonable. Just managing the land accordingly.

Can you PM me 😊

I would be inclined to try adding magnesium to her diet first of all.

I would describe my mare as 'sharp' - only with a competent rider though. She is very funny, the better the rider the more she challenges but only because she is having to work. Constantly checking what she can get away with and who is in charge. She can spin on the spot but is forward going...

Thank you for the replies. Guess I just wanted to vent! I was mostly annoyed because it's not my pony and it's my relationship with the ponies owner that got her the free shot in the first place. I will avoid in future, with anyone! I felt like I'd really let down the pony owner when she had...

She said she forgot but oh well!
