You need hardstanding so you can control their grazing. We feed good quality straw. Their coats arent waterproof and they hate the winter weather. We have a donkey barn they go into whenever they want, on their hardstanding. They also need companionship and are very intelligent. They love to...

Also get yourself as fit as possible cardio wise as that really helps, especially if you are going to have lessons. There is pilates for riders that some people do on here.

Totally agree they shouldn't. It was just an observation of the behaviours other children see.

We have a strict code of conduct for sm, but companies who have children as influences don't seem to have them. The more views they get the better. Just go have a look on tiktok and it makes you shudder. The more they do the more entitled they become.

Swearing in front children, swearing at children, children swearing all on sm. It's no wonder they are rude and entitled.

If it's a livery yard and an arena being added there may be extra rates to pay as well. Hate woodchip as a riding surface. Had an accident with a horse in one where it was wet and slippery.

If you use the orange wash bag wash it separately first as mine bled colour during the first wash on 40 degrees.

My friend went to view from both. Dealers one was very very underweight, one was very overweight so was a struggle to trot, one dished badly. From 3 different dealers all with apparently good reputations. With photos/videos sent which looked ok which were set up or from previous owners when...

At our old yard if you were on full livery, you would get everything, including exercise. You just turned up and your horse would be ready to ride. But you got what you paid for and pride in how your horse looked. Tack cleaned, horse washed the works.

Yes they really don't care about stealing from a charity. They also try to pay with fake cash. Think it's easy to off load it onto charity shops.

Mind you if you go to parts of Bradford, most people have ponies stabled in their back gardens on a council estate and tether them wherever they like. Think the council has given up trying to do anything about it.

You also need to consider the position of the muck heap and how you intend to dispose of it.

Also you can get those mounting aids that you can attach to your stirrup and put back in your pocket.

Also practice mounting and dismounting from both sides. This will really help you and your horse if you get into a situation. Not many riders consider doing this and it will build your muscle memory.

We have had college people doing work experience, all most all of them came for the first few days then never bothered to show up. Never rang or anything. We stopped taking them due to how unreliable they were. Horse work is early start, not turn up when you like or never. Absolutely wasting...
