Yeah as others have said, most uni's have riding clubs, ours was only started this year but we have already had activities such as polo and we are now trying to arrange lesson plans and deals with local riding schools and we hope to have a team next year. If your uni doesn't have a riding club...

My horse used to love working and going out and about but she has had a few injuries since we have had her and so had to get used to a quieter life. It took her a little time to adjust but she is now happy just hacking. I understand not all horses would be though, but I think most can adjust...

Thank you for posting those, helpful to have something to compare it to. Unfortunately it looks a bit different.. I can't even get pictures now as I am back at university for the week!

Yes will be calling the vet tomorrow. I am slightly worried it might be a keratoma :( but I'm hoping it's, as you say, something old growing down. She is only very slightly lame in trot and is happily trotting and cantering about in the field, but I don't really know anything about keratoma's...

Thanks for that bikerchickone, I am hoping that is the case and that it isn't too abnormal.

My mare loves her boots. I used to put them on every other ride to help her adjust and now I put them on when she is having sore days or for longer rides. I have Old Macs G2 hoof boots and they are great. Mine has been barefoot a while (8ish months) but we have had a few issues along the way so...

My horse went barefoot around 8 months ago now. Around November we noticed she was becoming more sore than usual and when the trimmer came she removed a little sole and found that my mare had had an abscess that had never burst. For the past few weeks she has been slightly lame in trot and we...

I am student in Sheffield and I am looking for some extra riding. I ride about once a month with the university club but I would like to find something more regular. I have ridden for most of my life, have owned horses for around 8 years and I have competed in most disciplines with the pony...
