Husband was here when she arrived and apparently she asked him to bring her horse as she has issues with him and the gate. Husband declined as he was upto his shoulders in a tractor but watched her bring him in and apparently she only opened the gate the tiniest amount causing him to get caught...

Texting because I’ve phoned and left several voicemails to no response, I’ve been to her house and no answer. At least in text I have it in writing

Thank you all for your replies. On my way back from the school run I passed her in the lane however she looked the other way & didn’t want to stop. Got back to the yard to discover she’s fed her horse, great you’d think? Although she’s fed him with my feed so he’s had a large dose of...

Hi, haven’t posted for a long time but hope everyone’s well & I just need some advice. I have my ponies at home and I have some liveries. The most part of these are retirement liveries as I have no facilities just lots of grass, but I have 1 happy hacker livery & a grass livery. Although...

Long story short, little sister wants to enter Coblet in a “traditional” in hand showing class. When I think traditional I think coloureds... even if it’s not specified...would a solid coloured “traditional” type look out of place? I’m not sure he’s even heavy enough for “traditional”? When...

Been using the pig oil since the beginning of September & I patch tested him twice first. It’s just pig oil no sulphur.

Checked my ponies at 7am & lunchtime yesterday... went down at 4.30pm and my cob was crippled, walking on 3 legs. On a white leg, no obvious signs of injury or blood, fetlock 3/4 times the size of normal, swelling up to hock. I tried to look at his leg but he kicked out at me repeatedly and...

Best Buy myself some clippers then :D thank you xx

It’s been done to death I know & im sorry! But this weather is just unreal! My 3y/o cob has got a pretty hefty coat coming through but he’s damp all the time! Even out grazing in the field he’s clammy so I’m thinking I might just clip a bib off? Or would that make me a mad woman? He’s unrugged...

My section a was fed HH up until a month ago when he just flat out refused to eat it. He was very sharp, spooky & a little unpredictable. Changed him onto fast fibre & you would honestly think he was a different pony. He seems much more chilled.

I have to say that I also think your haynet is far too low. I personally would like more bedding- but I'm one of those that even with rubber mats I like mine to have big thick beds, & again I'm not keen on shavings- but that's personal preference. Might just be the picture and the way your horse...

Thank you for this, I'll drop you a message! I'm looking forward to it, at least when the kids outgrow him he'll still have a purpose and I won't have to part with him!

Thank you for all our replies. He's been barefoot for quite some time so his feet are nice and strong, would be on tarmac mainly but you never know what we might face! ❤️

Am planning on breaking my section a to drive but I think my farrier will keel over if I ask him to shoe him, he doesn't like trimming him as it is :D Is barefoot driving ok? Wouldnt be far, & only once or twice a week just to keep him ticking over and not being a complete (chubby) field ornament?

Mainly for the section a- very good doer & currently looking abit too "well" only gets 1 feed a day for supplements but won't touch anything with Happy hoof in it :( ive used fast fibre before for an older mare but everyone seems to be raving about the pink mash?
