    Another weight question

    I own a 14.1hh connie. I am 5'5 and between 9-10 stone. My mare is not overweight and fairly fit. I don't know her exact weight (not sure how to measure her) but calculated based on 400kg. That brings me in at around 15-16% without tack. Is this too heavy?

    Beautiful moment with my pony tonight

    Haha, your boy sounds so like my mare! She is a grumpy sod to say the least. She hates any kind of fuss and will pull the most extraordinary faces. I sometimes call her croccy as she will poke her nose right out, ears flat back and will clash her teeth together like a crocodile :D I used to...

    Are you all ill all the time?

    I am hardly ever ill. I had a 24 hour bug on Boxing Day, but prior to that I hadn't been sick since I was a kid. I used to get the cold quite a lot especially when there was a change in weather. My gran bought me a big box of cod liver oil tablets to take. Since then, I have never had a...
