    Saddle conundrum - 16.5 inch HM Flexee or Ghost Piccolo??

    I am absolutely no expert and may get my styles mixed up so feel free to correct me. I’ve “ridden’ in the Flexee on equine simulators, absolutely loved the set back stirrup leathers bars and felt they put you in a lovely position. However are those the ones with leather trees? I thought they...

    Looking for ideas for sighthound obsessed mother

    What about something like the puppies bred by Celticmoon Hounds - which include Poodle x Whippet (I believe similar look to a Bedwhip with less prey drive). I met one on a walk in Scotland and the owners raved about the dog / breeder / experience in general.

    what to do with my horses

    I would be loath to rehome the minis in case something happens to one of the cobs, leaving the other on its own?

    Does anyone follow Trina's Cobs on FB?

    I’m getting old but I don’t see the appeal at all. Stroppy strong cobs, fields full of shite and ragwort, interesting opinions…

    EMS management support/solidarity thread?

    I stabled mine and he itched himself raw within 48 hours so he is out in a pen maybe 4x a stable in size. He gets some hay and some Lami friendly haylage. Now wearing cloud hoof boots and walking really well. He also has a couple of mats in his pen to stand on.

    EMS management support/solidarity thread?

    I will join you - have never had Lami related problems despite owning Criollos, Appies and other good doers, always smugly thought Lami was caused by stressed grass and not long grass... so... 18yo New Forest, been retired for a year, wonderful saintly companion pony. Bit of a perfect storm...

    Weight loss…which method??

    @Kirstineridesagain - I feel I might be quite similar to you. I can’t use the children excuse but I’m older (nearly fifty (how in the hell did that happen?!!) so my excuse is hormones) I’ve gone from pretty slim to overweight with a three stone increase in five years. That entirely coincides...

    Youngster from a new stud, first crop of foals from stallion. Friend asks for a price and some video. Gets a very polite reply asking what her budget is… err yes that’s not how it works 🤣 No doubt breeder above thinks she was a time waster with an unrealistic budget but the reality is she was...

    Anyone else losing the joy?

    Yes I totally understand why people don’t hack much these days. It’s terrifying at times.

    Is there such a thing as a riding grazing muzzle?

    Similar to the Cannock Chase horses - https://www.facebook.com/share/p/15rK8b5tpm/?mibextid=wwXIfr Do you speak to Alison with Paloma? She rides in a muzzle and might have tried and tested solutions.
