Me too!!! I was riding a white grey Connie x

I’d competed there the day before! Which classes did you do?

Aaah, this thread is lovely! It’s so refreshing to see all the different stages your horses are at rather than feeling the pressure that my 6yo should be doing XYZ We’ve done two dressage outings - one outdoor and one indoor. Ribbons at the first & last at the second show - horses hey!! She’s...

Probably too far from Fran. I’m a good 40 mins North of Fran and it would be another 40 mins to Blackrod. Lottie Flinn teaches in that area I think!

Hi! I did, I bought a rising 5yo mare from her who was everything she said she was and more. Finola was super easy to deal with, literally arranged everything and the pony has been brilliant. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy from her again.

I bought a pony, seen, in Ireland Dec 2020. I’d do it again in a heartbeat. I flew in, saw a few private sales, a few at a yard, picked my pony and flew home. Generally, they’re a bit greener than you’d expect here for the same descriptions - for example backed and ridden away means exactly...

Mine can do this where she’s anticipating going again: especially on the rein she finds harder. I find just quietly riding her round and asking her to soften the neck down and almost ignoring the bouncing etc helped, as does cantering then repeating an exercise from earlier in the session in...

Heslin Sport Horses are fab.

I had a 4yo a bit like this. Was a dream to lightly back but then suddenly started randomly standing up in the school. She has stifle issues, we turned her out to mature a bit more bit when she came back in to work it quickly got to the point my ass touched the saddle and off she went...

I love them - there super quality and wash up far better than some of the other big brands. I use full size on a chunky 14.2 Connie but don’t find cob super small; the older colours are a bit less deep though so if she’s porky we start looking a bit mini skirt 😂 PS and Eq Stockholm are similar...

Having been where you are now twice before, save yourself the heartache. I spent 4 years back and forth to one of the best lameness vets in the country - did everything we could but ultimately she had too many conflicting pathologies to manage and as soon as we fixed one thing, we unearthed...

Thank you

He looks super sweet. Who do you train with out of interest?

I did them in the kitchen this morning making a cup of tea... long may it continue. I’m really keen to go back in 3 or 6 months and see what’s changed with us both.
