I'm looking for either grass livery ( if adequate field shelters are provided) or DIY livery. Preferable kingswood or Headley as I know the hacking is good but would consider Epsom or Reigate also. Turnout is priority as is off road hacking or very little traffic. School a bonus but not vital...

The last few days since the weather has dramatically dropped(minus 5 last night where we are), could be unrelated but my 18month old cob x trotter (quite finely built) colt has started acting differently. He is usually a timid softy, he came to me a year ago basically feral with a great fear of...

Forgot to mention about that he's exactly the same in company :( although sometimes it's better as there's someone to block his path if needed and I have a bum to aim at lol!

Hoping for some advice with my con by gelding. He's just coming back into work after some time off lame due to pastern problems. Is now sound with remedial shoeing. Has been hacking in walk only for 6 weeks and we can now build this up with some short trots too the only problem is he's a psycho...

He's only about 12hh ATM to mature around 15.2.

I rescued a 6 month old colt and my friend has rescued his half brother too. mine is pretty much unhandled and understandably nervy. He has a headcollar on and will approach me with the shake of a bucket (not ideal using food I know) but as soon as you clip lead rope on he FREAKS out running...

Thank you all! How long did yours need to stay in hospital for and were there any complications?

My little mate had colic surgery last night after getting strangulating lipoma she needed 1.5 metres of her small intestine removed bit so far (i know its v early days) she's recovering well. I just wanted to know what I can do when she's home. She'll need box rest for 8 weeks etc but feeding...

Has anyone had the same problem trying to find an affordable saddle to fit a wide pony? i have a 12.2hh chunky cob type pony with no withers at all and a short back.. I've been using a 15 1/2inch wintec with an extra wide gullet and it fits okay bit constantly slips! I then went and bought a...

Thanks everyone! I have a few in mind but cannot move him yet as my other pony has come back from her loan home. So they are keeping each other company in the field at the mo!

Just bought a treeless saddle for no withered pony. Can anyone suggest a treeless saddle pad that gives good spine clearance that doesnt cost the earth?!

Oh yea i thought it had closed.. Yes please! Hasnt got to be top notch as its only for a youngster but needs to b a friendly yard! Thanks.

Hes been called a midget shire by a judge before ha ha. Legs are like tree trunks. definately a chunkster! I totally agree with what u are saying about kids pony etc but he has been ridden by children possibly the most laid back pony i've ever met in that respect even stops when his...

Oh thank god! Im gutted he didnt make more in height but he is a funny little thing and very chunky! He got his new saddle today so we are raring to go now! Neddymad- i'd love to keep him but he would be wasted with me as i have two others. He was bought to fatten up over winter...

Just wanted other peoples perspective on my dilemma... I have a rising 5yr old cobby pony (unkown breeding rescued him from gypsies) whos 12.3hh (didn't quite make the height we thought) Im 5'5 and weigh just under 9st i broke him in last year and gave him a break over winter. Now i want to...
