This is making me feel like I've just had some really bad luck! Mine are kept out 24/7 unless the worst of weather. They have low sugar, high fibre diets. They spend 90% of their time hacking out in New Forest when they're sound, 10% or so in the school for clinics or lessons. They really have...

Welp, I'm trying to weigh the odds in my favour and vetting is Saturday 😂 Unseen too...double oops 😂 Though I will be picking them up.

I'm just about to take the plunge with a 3rd. My first one is old boy with arthritis and currently a suspected (hopefully!?) abscess, so is slowing down significantly. My second is my mare who had all kinds of problems... I've also had a project pony who cost me a fortune in vets bills for...

I'm keeping an eye out for a project. All are crazy prices (6k for an unschooled, lacking hacking experience cob 😱) and/or lame.

What about Fieldmasta rugs with the non rub style necks?

I'm in New Forest and know some decent routes, depending where you're heading.

I love my Chunky Monkey saddle 😍 Horse it was for is retired so I'm trying to get it refitted to my gelding.

I tend to organise to ride and agree the type of ride beforehand with most people. There are only one or two who I know enjoy similar rides to me that I won't specify if it's a short or long/fast or slow etc ride. Avoids disappointment (I hate expecting to go for a w/t/C ride and just end up...

Maybe people could swap the horses out for these...hate seeing horses being clambered all over for seemingly no good reason.
