    Restraining the cob urge to snack

    Daisy reins? You'd obviously need a saddle or roller on too.

    Looking for a breed of pony my son won’t send to sleep and turn into a seaside donkey. Ideas?

    We have a very spicy and sporty Welsh D, 14.1 and a total firecracker. If ever there was a pony I would want to grow a few hands it would be him, he'd be so much fun!

    Someone on here has a good long list of equine legal companies - is it @PeterNatt maybe?

    Blair Horse Trials

    I'm totally gutted to hear the news. My son competed there for the first time last year, and it was the highlight of his season. I was even convinced to sleep in the sh##y horse trailer for the privilege of being there with him for the 6am course walk. We've also been going to spectate since we...

    Will a 4 year old’s back grow in length?

    Yes. Our 16hh youngster was in a 5'6 rug at rising 4, now she's rising 6 and is in 6' rugs. Hope that helps.

    Independent feed advice

    Baileys Ease and Excel cubes (no 24) or TopSpec UlsaKind cubes. Both are high protein, low starch/sugar, support the hind gut and don't fizz them up. Both work brilliantly, help them keep weight on but not turn them into nutters. Can highly recommend.

    Anyone never fallen off?

    The saying goes something along the lines of 'you're not a good horseman until you fall off 100 times'. My kids are both still counting, they're in the 30s and 50s respectively I think...

    A bit of a renovation challenge! (Property)

    Might need to re-point the stonework.

    Iberian x native?

    We have an Andalucian (sire) x IDxTB (dam) and she is amazing! She's scopey, sporty, brave, very capable and very very pretty. She's also quite highly strung and might not be everyone's cup of tea in that respect, but we love her. I'd have another Iberian x native in a heart beat.

    Huge sale at Regatta

    Hahaha! That brings back memories 😂🤣 I can't remember the details, but it was a very amusing thread!

    The stables, the stables (another property thread)

    I know this property (just from the outside) as my in-laws live a wee bit further along the coast. The main road along the front is quite fast, and it gets utterly battered by the sea sometimes - the trees are all lopsided due to the high winds. I think the beach there is narrow and pebbly so...

    Name that pony competition #2

    Proud Mary Little Ike or Wheels for a stable name (see what I did there? 👏💃🎤)

    Alternatives to corner hay bar

    Ours are still fixed to the walls, despite the best efforts of the 2 hungry welshies... One of them does like to poo in his though, so make sure you leave enough space at the bottom to wash it through!

    Alternatives to corner hay bar

    We have a couple these in stables where corner haybars aren't possible. I stole this image from eBay - just do a Google search for Flat wall rubber haybars or similar...
