Just wanted to say a huge thank-you to everyone for being so kind. Sometimes you just need to know you're doing the right thing, which I do... doesn't make it any easier!!! I need some time to truly understand what I want. Have a viewing tomorrow, so let's see how that goes! Thank-you so much...

So I'm not sure if a lot of you know but over the last 2-3 years I've had serious problems with my confidence and riding in general. I have an absolutely cracking pony and I love him so much but I just don't think he's quite the one for me. He deserves a young teenager/older child to go out and...

If I was advertising my horse 6 months ago I would have advertised him as "Not a novice ride" because he could be really cheeky and take the mick but even if I was to sell him now, I would advertise him exactly the same as although he no longer takes the mick, he gets confused if he doesn't know...

I would be careful on getting too cross with your Y.O as they could end up becoming "too strict" on handling your horse. My Y.O is very kind and during winter, pops my horse out in the sand paddock for a leg stretch when I'm at work and obviously I think this is a very kind thing to do.

I believe I'm my boys 5th owner and he will be with me until the end!

Well guys - you've certainly deterred me... for now.

hahahahaha - point taken. Nah, it's only a musing! My horse isn't desperate for a companion. They're all out "together" in the field, but in their own seperate areas if that makes sense, so they can see each other but can't groom one another. I don't really think he's entirely fussed though...

I saw these too! Unfortunately, they seem quite far away from me. The names are fantastic!

Little mate for my horse and also a possible inhand project? I am telling you now... I am COMPLETELY bonkers.

For considering the purchase of a shetland pony...? Please share pictures of yours... to convince me NOT to do it ;)

I have a connie x appy and we have had quite a few problems but he's come on leaps and bounds. He was a nightmare throughout winter but now I can honestly say he's my pony of a lifetime. He's taught me an awful lot. From what I have read my thoughts are; 1. he's either in pain and is trying to...

Thanks for replying Twiggy! Not all the time, this is why I'm confused. He was absolutely fine yesterday, a little doddle and then this morning it was a different story. His field mates were still out in the field when I brought him in. I've recently had my hours changed at work so I think...

Hi everyone, I just wondered if somebody with a little bit more knowledge can help with an issue that has arisen. Last year, my horse had some separation anxiety, which was something we worked upon so it wouldn't become an issue if he needed to be separated from the other horses (if he...

Dreamcoat - it is honestly the best. It smells incredible, can be used under the saddle too.

You guys are the best, thanks for the heads up :)
