Yes! He went out last Wednesday and seems much happier for it, as am I!

I'm considering one of these for my pony and can see that they are pretty highly recommended. His rugs are a mixture of 5'3's and 5'6's and I'm not sure which way to go with this 5'3's tend to be that little bit too short and sometimes tight around his shoulders whereas 5'6's are better in...

He has his moments. He'll always offer me a smooch but he's not what I would consider a cuddly pony although if I can get in to his stable quick enough when he's lying down, he'll let me! Before I leave the yard, he'll come away from his haynet to squish his muzzle between the bars in the...

I have Mike from Uppington Smithy to trim my lad. He was one of the only farriers in Shropshire I called who was willing to come out my way. He's always prompt and always willing to be flexible with me to suit my working hours which I'm always grateful for and unlike a lot of farriers, he will...

Thank you for all your replies! For some reason I always feel initially guilty leaving mine out as I know he enjoys coming in. Our ground has dried up nicely, especially in the past week so I left them out last night with hay in the field for the time being!

Please direct me to a thread if there already is one as I thought there probably would be but upon looking I couldn't see one! I just wanted to know if many have finally turned out 24/7 yet and if not when you plan to? I've just used the last of my bedding and don't see much point in...

I broke my wrist in two places riding a friend's horse several years ago. I've been pretty lucky apart from the usual stiffness the day after a fall!

My NF pony is the same. I wanted to be the first on him so before he went to be professionally backed, I got on him in just a headcollar on the yard. He didn't bat an eyelid. I've had him from 10 months old, he's 7 this year. Fab ponies. He was also better behaved out on his first hack (part of...

Mine will be going out 24/7 as soon as the weather allows. I haven't checked the other topics so not sure if anybody has made a post about when people are planning to turn out full time for the Spring/Summer if that's what their doing but it'd be interesting to know! I'm down to my last bale of...

I'm using Cowboy Magic at the moment for the first time and think it works very well and smells nice too BUT I don't think it's any more special than Canter mane & nail for example. Although if your like me and try to avoid brushing his tail I prefer Cowboy Magic and it's not a spray so easier...

Done :) Good luck!

Yes, I love him more than anything else. I've had him since he was 10 months old and he's 7 in June, I can't believe it! His character wins everybody over who gets to spend enough time with him, he has one of the biggest personalities in a pony I've come across and although that can be...

Thanks, I'll swap them! I need lessons again clearly!

It's been a couple of years since I strip cleaned tack and I'm just cleaning my pony's bridle out in the sunshine and I cannot remember which way the reins should be by the bit. Is the buckle (can't remember the name for the hook style!) supposed to be facing the outside or the inside? I just...

How terrifying for the owners. Our 2 miraculously got out of their field yesterday at some point and my friends horse has suffered some fairly deep gashes on his face and around his eye. They are both OK and my ex-boyfriend's parents had rounded them up back in to their stables as they were...
