Gorgeous, i love arabs and i remember admiring a shagya arabian in a breeds book i had when i was younger

There are some quite nasty people on these forums. I havn't been on in ages but when i first started and put up some posts i thought horse and hound would be a good place to get useful and considerate advice and opinion from other more experienced horsepeople as i'm 16, but you get some people...

oh sorry, my teacher isn't horsey and might have made a mistake, there;s only me and one other girl doing riding for PE. sorry, didn't mean to give wrong information

I agree with you LadyT with your views on putting horses to sleep, I wouldn't consider it and it's a bit upsetting that some poeple have got that idea, i've been with him for 5 years! Did noone else read in horse & hound in the welfare report about it?? it said that people were putting...

i've never heard anything bad about Laura Renwick but i may just be being naive. I think she does a good job on riding Limelight de Breve but you're probably right.

I didn't say anything about katy Price. I didn't say she wasn't a good rider, she is just that i think she isn't a good role model and i know that many people midlessly don't wear hats while riding, but i would hav liked to think that in a busy collecting ring at somewhere like HOYS when you're...

ye, thank you for some of the more polite posts as a lot of people seem to have got the wrong idea there. I never mentioned putting him down, i said i was worried because in H&H it talked of people who were doing that because many older horses were being passed on to dealers and being...

I hope your horses are ok, i used to keep my horse at a dressage yard where the owner (a dressage judge) had 2 huge TB. She used to feed my 14.2 huge amounts of hay in his other haynet when he'd already been given hay. Haynets so big you couldn't lift them and in the mornings there would be more...

I've got to get videod riding my horse for part of my PE GCSE mark and my teacher just gave me a marksheet with simple things like mounting walk trot canter etc. for one level and then a level up is doing a jumping course/dressage test and then a level up from that is analysing a horse and...

I currently own a 19 year old Arab X. He will be 20 in January but the problem is i'm going to college next year and he'll be too old for me to take as im doing equine studies. Im hoping to be able to get a new, younger horse but i can't afford to keep 2 and i'm worried about selling Sunny at...

Yes it might not be expensive but those are the poeple that are bad for the sport as they take the easy option and people who put work and training and passion into their horses don't gte the credit.

Yes that's true because i have people i look up to who aren't at top level but it worries me when young children want to look at someone famous and glamorous and then see them without a riding hat. And when people like Ellen who get media coverage for being glamorous and not for hard work and...

He looks stunning, a real eye catcher. Is he nice to ride??

She sounds perfect for someone like my dad and we'd pay just over £1000 i reckon. We're not lookin for a horse for him atm though sorry.

I am slightly annoyed at some of the supposed "role models" of our sport. Ellen Whitaker is a popular "role model" yet recently when watching Northern Ireland International Horse Show, in the run up to a competition they were showing Ellen Whitaker doing her hair in the mirror of her lorry with...
