Yeah thankyou, I will be on the look out now haha x

Just to make clear, as i probably didn't make it clear initially, I haven't used the saddle on him, and I do not intend to until I get a experienced saddler out

Thankyou for the advice- as mentioned I will be getting a saddler out to get advice as I was aware the fit wasn't right. I will consider that, thankyou☺️

We are getting a saddler out very soon, as we are considering buying a new saddle. Thankyou

It may sound a little silly but here goes... I own a wintec GP saddle currently with no gullet in it, but after getting another horse, it needs to be a little wider(he's a wide, flat backed cob)- I do own the extra wide white gullet, would the gullet make it any wider considering it hasn't got...

Thankyou for answering ☺️ it's not so much a problem of catching her, I've mastered that, she too did have problem with buckles and headcollars but we've overcome that, it's just the problem of leading😋

No you're answer was great! Thankyou☺️ I was thinking of using a longer rope, and as you say not pressuring her, and I was potentially thinking of a food reward if she takes a step towards me, and take it nice and slow☺️ Thankyou

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone is able to guide me in some direction. We have had a young mare for around a year now, and she came to us incredibly nervous to the point she was unable to even be touched without freaking. A year on and I have managed to get a head collar on her, brush her and she's...

She's incredibly sensible, and is brill in traffic, just seems a shame leaving her to no work when the dry weather comes(emphasis on the when!!), and I have considered a professional and already have one in mind, but thank you anyway, I'll definitely check out some of his videos. ☺️

So, I'm not entirely sure of my ponies age, but her previous owner said she was around 7 then so she should be around 11-12 years now. She is in good health, but I've unfortunately outgrown her, she's 13.2 and a welsh B- I'm just wondering if it could be a possibility to train her to drive? Is...

Thankyou:) my school have provided us with a list of small vet practices, so I will hopefully gain experience there:) I gathered it would be health and safety/insurance issues, which is perfectly understandable. Thank you for your help, it has been beneficial:)

Yeah, thankyou:) I'm working on my studies, so determined to achieve A/A*s. I will pm you if I need any help, really appreciate it:)

Yeah I think that's going to be my plan:) focusing on getting experience now, thankyou, nice to hear from people in the same situation:) x

Yeah I think it is health and safety and insurance purposes, I may be incorrect, but I think they have to take out a different insurance to cover younger people. I think I may have to go to a small practice too and thankyou:)x
