Why don't you look for a new loan pony? :) I know it isn't the same as having your own, and i don't mean to be patronising, but you are already lucky that they pay for a loan for you. There are enough kids out there who would be green with envy at your situation! :) I was lucky enough that my...

She should tell her hubby to stick his head where the sun doesn't shine. End of. Unless he wants to take over riding the horse. I don't know how people can actually put up with people telling them what to do like that. I recommend she goes into Argos and orders a backbone. Poor lady, I know...

I don't know if I paid vat for my diy or not- I don't understand why it wouldn't just be included in the bill though! Why do extra chasing to get people to pay it?

Mine always came to us first so he was never late...but often early! I'd be sat in the kitchen eating breakfast and see him drive round the back.

I'd say it's definitely not an adder, and it doesn't look like a grass snake, and it does look like a grass snake :p

I'm wondering slow worm too... but I do NOT envy you that find! Mummified rats are the most I've ever had. What's the scale on the ones you found? I can't work out if they're taken close up or are actually a reasonable size! I shouldn't have googled "poisonous animals in Texas" the other week...

Lady at the yard had hers done by phone. She was getting all tearful over the insightful things such as: her retired horse is jealous of the younger one (standard), her horse had a lady with brown hair and big boobs who had been a big part of his life (how specific. I have brown hair and big...

Amtrust. Paid out without a problem when I needed to claim. They gave one of the cheapest quotes as well. Only bettered (I think) by the one which shall not be named!

I have seen a very similar video with Pat Parelli. It was a lovely horse who just didn't understand why it was having a rope waved in its face, then when it stepped back it was yanked with the leadrope. It's utter codswallop but "natural horsemanship" is all the rage now so I'm sure there...

Thank you both :) Bayneddie- he really is a Barry as well, it suits him right down to the ground! I wish I could see a photo of him as a lovely foal to see why someone went "I know what to call him!" :D

I sold him to a very nice lady and he went to his new home at the end of January. By the time it got to that stage, I was 99.9% certain I was doing the right thing. I went out for one last ride the day he was going and it made my mind up 100%. He didn't do anything but I was pooping myself...

It can actually take value off your house.

Yup, I was really impressed with my swish rug.

To echo the above...get the best you can afford, and get it fitted by a professional. Certain head shapes fit certain hat makes, you can't beat going into a good tack shop and getting your granddaughter to try a few on :)
