Any idea why Tina's result isn't on the WEG results page as according to H&H she's currently standing in 5th!!

I have already warned the hubby that after the first couple of lessons I may not be able to move the next day :D :D :D

I do worry that I would fall into the last bracket. I just have to give myself a talking to that I can't expect to be as competent as I was when riding everyday and competing every weekend!

Mine is already obsessed with anything with 4 legs (he's 2) so I'm hoping he could be my little helper too :)

Thank you both!! Great to know there are success stories out there. I am hoping if I go down this route that my son would get the bug (I'm already preparing my husband for the fact that he 'needs' a pony) and it would then be something we could do together. Might start putting out some...

Hopefully I've put this in the right place as it doesn't really belong in New Riders! I'm looking for anyone with experiences (good and bad) of coming back to riding/horse ownership later on in life and after significant life changes. I rode up to Foxhunter/intermediate level in my teens and...

Really interesting to read this as we opted for the implant for our 1.5 year old whippet male about 6 weeks ago. He's a total mummy's boy and gets separation anxiety and started peeing on the table legs etc at home as well as being destructive. He has calmed down a lot now the implant is fully...

I frequently take photos of dogs and horses when out and about. Usually the dog owners I will try and ask but the horses I usually can't as they are either too far away or are cantering/galloping up the beach. If they are asking then they are just being polite as there is no obligation legal...

There has definitely been a change in behaviour in both dogs since my second trimester. I've read up and its not uncommon for dogs to get more clingy and/or protective when you're pregnant. Very sweet but not helping the current situation :)

I think we may have to bite the bullet with the crate and see how we go. Although yesterday and last night have been incident free! Equidae; my reluctance is based on current veterinary research showing that castration increases the risk of a whole host of cancers in male dogs and he doesn't...

Woohoo, just got home and no destruction, poos or wees!!! Nice start to the weekend :)

Basically asking for any advice or 'light at the end of the tunnel' stories with regard to our 1yr (August) male whippet. Here goes: For the first 7 months of Colin being home (from 10 weeks old) I wasn't working so was home all the time. However, during this time I did make sure that I...
