Thanks again for your input everyone. I'm confident he'll actually enjoy the work, I've allowed a few novices to ride him in the past and he's enjoyed looking after them. There's a big country park next to the yard and there are escorted hacks as well as lessons so he'll have variety. He'll also...

Thanks everyone for your replies, I'll definitely have a look at the bhs agreement and see how we can tweak it to suit. He'll definitely be close enough to visit regularly and check up on him. I plan to look into all your suggestions and check everything suits before I go ahead with anything...

Due to some changes in circumstances I'm considering loaning my boy to a local riding school. The school is managed by a good friend of mine so I know he will be well cared for and we've discussed his management and how the school control their horse's work levels and rider weights etc. What...

I was worrying about this with my two elderly ferrets and what to do about the lone one when one eventually died - I didn't really want any more as I struggle for time for everyone. I applied to foster for a local rescue and got two young kits on foster who went in with the old ones and kept my...

I've got a dressage and a gp CM. Both bought new from Sam and I've had her back fairly regularly for fittings since. I like them and find them both very comfortable, and pony goes well in them both. I think they're great for the price, and I know a lot of other people who use them too

I use an old metal filing cabinet I got when the office I worked at closed down. One drawer holds a bag of feed and keeps rats and mice out. And it's lockable (although the key is long gone!)

I'm on my second retired racer - she's pretty much the perfect dog. I only let her off lead on the beach, as she'd be gone in a flash if a cat/rabbit/hare/squirrel jumped out but she ignores other dogs so the beach is safe. I always run her in a muzzle though just to be safe, and also to stop...

Thanks for this, OP, my friend and I have been trying to find new rides near us and were saying we needed something exactly like this! I've sent her the link and we'll be studying it for new routes.

I've got the Elite performance one now and had the All-round one a while back. Both excellent quality, I've got medium and am a size 12.

I have two rescue ferrets (was four but down to two now). Three hobs and a jill, all neutered. They do have a smell but it's much less when they're neutered and they generally only skunk when scared or fighting. Mine have never drawn blood, even as kits, they can nip when playing but it's just...

For my coloured lad (he's all white with just brown ears and one small patch on one thigh) it's all about the bedding. He gets covered in yellow pee stains if I bed him on straw, even if it's super deep. I've found a good deep bed of rape straw or flax keeps the pee at the base so he's not lying...

I've got a weatherbeeta mustard yellow one, similar thickness to the le mieux ones and nice and bright. It looks great on.

I absolutely love my Chunky Monkey. I've got the cob dressage and it completely changed my pony's way of going and my riding. I've only had it since February so can't comment on how they hold up long term but mine still looks brand new and really smart. A few of my friends have them too and are...

I have the premier equine ones, and I love them. Great fit, really comfy when riding although not great when walking (but I only walk from my stable to the mounting block in them) and great quality for the price. Only had them since Christmas though so can't comment on how hard wearing they are...

I love my Chunky Monkey dressage saddle and I've a few friends with wide fell ponies that rave about them too. Sam is fairly close to you too I think
