I haven’t been on here for years!! A quick hello to all. I’ve found myself the proud new owner for a 14hh fell x cob. We got him for the family to ride including my daughters who are 2 and 6 and my 17 year old step daughter. He’s a great little chap and will hopefully do the job, finding a...

Well its been a very very longtime since I have been on here. Hi to all that might remember me and hi to those that have joined since I've not been about! So since I last came on I have had a baby, she is now 5 weeks old and truly gorgeous. I still have my lovely mare who I turned away...

Am currently on the look out for an everyday bridle with a drop noseband. I already have a competition one so dont want to spend a fortune but it needs to be half decent quality that will clean up well and look smart enough for lesson etc! They are so hard to come by the last one i bought...

Haven't been on here for a while but could really do with some advice from you wise people. I'll start with some history. Ben 6 year old black lab, got from the breeder at 11 months old, he had already been from breeder to one owner back to breeder then another owner, back to breeder then on...

Hi there, I try my hand at endurance. Just a novice at the month but am really loving it! Am in the South East group!

My MIL has just moved from down south to Kidderminster. She used to ride as a child and has ridden ours a few times over the years. We thought taking up riding again might be a good place to make some new friends! Any ideas?

She was extremely foot sore and remaind so for months. It just never seemed to improve. She had been shoeless for at least 4 months prior to me buying her and I left her like this in a bid to go barefoot.

Since her last set of shoes (about 6 weeks ago) Elsa has had 3!!! 2 in one foot and 1 in another. I have only ridden twice since she was last shod. She appeared very foot sore after the shoeing and farrier advised to rest her for a few days which I did. She was still sore so he came back...

In the winter of 2009-2010 I had so much trouble keeping weight on my mare. I had only had her a few months and she dropped off pretty quickly. She turned into a very fussy eater and I think I tried most brands and types of feeds going. This winter we stuck to the basics nuts alfa a and garlic...

Do you just use the nappy to hold the animalintex in place or can the nappy actually act as a poultice? In my head I am thinking that surely a nappy will draw stuff out just like it draws moisture away from a babies skin!!!

This may well be down to your left elbow misbehaving!!!!

Firstly he is looking so much better so well done you. I haven't posted on previous posts as I don't like to get involved. Its a shame I don't have any sound on my computer as I would love to hear what your instructor is saying. He looks much happier on the right rein and you can see...

Have posted this in NL too but though I might get more response in here!! What kind of action do they have and what type of horse do they suite. Thinking of trying one on my girl. She is just so sensitive in her mouth. She is fine in the school when she is 100% listening and my contact...
