My daughter is very keen to start doing shetland pony racing. Does anyone know anything about it. How old you need to be/how you start etc...

I was just wondering if anyone could help me because I want to give my daughters pony some naf magic calmer in a tube but I can't find anywhere on the packet how much I need to give him? I would think the whole tube is for a horse. I would like to here from anyone who has had experience of...

I am sure the right confidence giving pony is the key. My daughter lost her confidence and was a nervous wreck and I tried to percevere with her old pony as I didn't want to fail!. She was desperate to ride but every time we went any where we would both end up in tears. I tried everything...

I can totally see where you're coming from and no one likes the thought of selling and having to buy another pony after only 6 months after getting it but I doubt if this would happen. I have seen a lot of children over horsed because their parents are hoping that the pony will last them for...

I felt really sad when I heard about your old pony. I have a little pony who has to be really watched with regards to his grass intake. (To be honest most ponys do!) I would have thought her new owners would have known better! Let's hope we're worrying about nothing...

I am interested to know what your thoughts are on people giving ponies an ACP then putting their children on top. I was somewhere the other day and some mums were chatting about ACPs and it seemed quite normal practice just to give a whizzy pony a tablet to make it quiet for their child to...

Angelbones I can totally sympathise with you. I also have a nervous daughter and have often felt people looking at me and I am sure they thinking why is that pushy parent making her daughter ride when she doesn't want to! I know your daughter through pony club and she is a really good little...

I am looking for a 15.2/15.3hh hunter type for my 5'11, 14 year old nephew. I don't want a baby preferably something that has been there and done it!. He hunts and wants to do a bit of pony club but it's got to be very steady. It doesn't need to set the world a light it just needs to be very...

That sounds a good idea! I keep thinking that as you've got so many lovely jumps you really wouldn't miss a few!! You hunting on Sat? X

I want to by some show jumps and I'm wondering if anyone knows where I can get some reasonably priced ones!

When out hunting the field can often trot really fast along the road. This always makes me really nervous. I have seen quite a few horses seriously slip and I'm always worried I'm going to fall off on the road.

omg poor you and poor inky. You really now must have had your quota of bad luck! Lots of Love x

Not everyone is lucky enough to have or have access to a school anyway. I learnt to ride by just going out hacking and having fun. I must admit my riding probably isn't the best for style but I get by. I wouldn't like to think how much I have spent on lessons for my daughter and sometimes I...

If you think it feels right then I think it's definately worth going for it. The price doesn't sound too bad either. I would get a vet to check her over so you know what you're taking on. I know of a pony that is still hunting and in the pony club and she is still going strong in her 30's...

Ebay?!
