    WOW!! I have an oddity - not because it's a bad horse, it's not, I like it... but Horse Quest - 341534 - I'd love to know the breeding of this - "Fully registered New Forest pony" because they don't come in that colour!!!

    I love my horse

    I feel the same about my wee Newfie, he’s spoilt rotten and allowed to be as cheeky as he likes.

    Sense checking something

    I’m pretty lacking in emotions generally but I’d have given the kid a hug and loaded my pony back up and gone home. I wouldn’t have wanted a lesson at all in those circumstances. I can’t imagine most horses work well with a dead horse sharing the arena with them.

    Am I ok to keep riding my pony?

    Yes you look tall on him, you also look very slim and I can’t imagine he struggles to carry you at all. Do you feel secure? Do you feel the saddle fits you both? I don’t think you are pony squashing.

    Pony hates yard owner

    I could have written this word for word. Keep the pony! I absolutely adore mine and he now lives on grass livery and is described by the other liveries as the happiest pony ever but it took me moving him from a yard where I was happy but he wasn’t to get to this point.

    Keen to hear experiences of those who work full time and have horses on DIY/Part/Full livery.

    2 on DIY - on 24/7 turnout - my job is very flexible in the winter and pretty brutal in the summer. Helps husband is very supportive and especially in the summer does the boys more than I do. They get fed twice a day in the winter and I ride when I can, if that is not for weeks at a time I...
