What a beautiful horse. The attitude that children don't know whats right or wrong is ridiculous, of course children know that 'hurting' is wrong. Not one single child that I know would so much as raise a hand to an animal let alone a weapon and I'd be confident in saying they would try and...

"All horses deserve, at least once in their life, to be loved by a little girl." I am still very much that little girl and think I may well be my horse's first 'little girl'.

Replies have all been very helpful, thank you all so much. I was going to start looking for a sharer as I'm thinking about getting a baby to back and bring on, so will probably need some help to keep my current girl fit enough (I ride 5 times a week but work full time, I think backing a baby...

I was thinking around £20 a week but then felt cheeky to be charging, then went off the whole idea, lol. I hate it when I see adverts where people want people to pay them to educate their horse and didn't want to be seen like that. Difference is my horse is well schooled, has impeccable manners...

Sharing/part loaning a horse? I know circumstances/type would vary the price greatly but say: No stable duties (unless you wanted to) On small, friendly yard with indoor school, Chance to compete if required (local level but working way up) Well behaved horse, would look after novice or...

I do, I got the special edition navy team GB one last year. Its really comfortable and pretty cool (as in not too hot) compared to the other hats I have. I really like the look of them, which is a bonus of course ;)

Aah, I'm going to sound like a right saddo......but Defying Gravity from the musical Wicked :o

I'm glad I'm not going nuts, I thought I was the only one getting increasingly frustrated at these lycra clad beings. There seem to be more and more 'road races' around by me and I've seen a wide range of behaviour by the cyclists taking part. As a driver I am usually ignored, which I can...

Quarter horse, without a doubt! Slim and athletic but with a big bum, lol.

You'd be more likely to find mine on the street corner outside the pub at the minute :o

This is purely hypothetical, I absolutley no intention of selling my horse, I was just interested in opinions of what people think she would be worth. 16.3/17hh, light weight, 16 year old bright bay KWPN mare, branded but has no paperwork. She is a forward, responsive ride, currently...

I've been asked whether my mare had a brain transplant by her previous owner :o I also let my YO (who knew her before when she was 'evil') have a ride on her and I don't think she could believe how easy she is. Trouble is, you start getting the "aren't you lucky to have such a well behaved...

Sometimes I wish I didn't love my yard so much. I actually like everyone at the yard (kids included) but this means I end up chatting and taking literally twice as long to do everything :o I do feel really lucky to have found somewhere so nice, I was worried about moving to a livery after...

I know of a lady that bought a new lorry, horse loaded fine onto old one but wouldn't load onto the new one. Turned out horse was getting static shocks from the new lorry (I don't know the ins and outs of it) so could be worth checking out?

My silly mare has pulled off a grand total of four shoes since we moved yards about three weeks ago so I've decided to try her without any as she clearly thinks she doesn't need them :rolleyes: I've been feeding her for hoof condition for the past eight months and they do look like they will...
