    How many horses do you own!

    3, but I'd prefer 2. 3 is too many 🙈 So I have no idea how people cope with more! ETA: 2 are home and 1 is away for training

    What classes please? (And bridle reccs)

    I started the year with a new horse and am ending it with another new horse 😅😂 So for next season I'm looking to get them out and about seeing the world, but I have no idea what classes I should aim for. Would only be unaffiliated and for fun/exposure. Victim number one: 4yr old 15.2 ISH...

    Cost of Connies

    Agree it seems suspiciously cheap! Did you use your own choice of vet?

    What bedding?

    Thanks everyone! Seems like straw pellets are worth a shot. The roof is a pain, it's a super tall barn so difficult to get up to the roof and can't go on top of the roof as would 100% fall through 🙈 Realistically, it needs replacing but that won't be this winter or next so will have to make do!

    What bedding?

    Thankyou. Do you know if there are any big differences with wood pellets Vs straw? I've used wood pellets in the past but never straw pellets

    B&B with your horse

    I've done it once with husband, horse and dog. It was beyond stressful 😂 Every time the dog went outside, he was straight into the field with the horse. Didn't have anything with us to tie him up (lunge line or similar), so it was a real pain to manage. As it turns out, my horse and dog get...

    What do you wear on your feet?

    I'm awful 🙈 whatever is closest the door! Slippers, crocs, riding boots, wellies...walking shoes less so as they involve too much effort with laces

    Backing in Dorset/Hampshire

    Looking for somewhere to send my 5 yr old Connie. He's quite sharp so not one I'm able to do by myself at home with non-horsey husband! Any recommendations please? ☺️

    12yr old homebred sold and then changed name - is this not confusing for him?

    I've changed three names when they came to me: - Hermione to Luna - Couldn't cope with Hermione so kept the Harry Potter theme - Joey to Lumi - He was called Lumi before he ended up with a dealer, so I re-instated his original name - Murphy to Smurf - I'm not sure why 😂
