My gelding sometimes neighs when I arrive but usually he makes the 'huuuhuhuh' sound which he also makes when he's waiting for his food. His neigh is a textbook horse neigh, like one you'd hear in a film! :) My mare never bothers to neigh, she just snorts at everything like a pig. She doesn't...

My 2 live out... the other one isn't moulting at all

Wow!

Well I'm sure most people on this forum would have loved to have been born into that position, as would I, but in the case of Ellen in particular she has a lot of pressure underneath her with this 'family name' business and I don't believe that can be nice, especially when she's been in the...

Completely depends on your shetlands temperament, my new mare was from a field of 2 horse geldings, a shetland gelding and a shetland stallion and as far as I know, they were fine... shetland stallion was used as a kids pony so obviously he had a very good temperament! The biggest gelding was...

Just remembered, when I was 14, a man took a photo of me riding. I was at a distance so he didn't talk to me. Is that allowed? :P

Mine just have 24/7 access to forage (both grass and hay) and a daily scoop of Happy Hoof in the winter. In summer they just have forage unless they're doing more work, then again they have a scoop of Happy Hoof. Never ever needed any more!

Spooks, HV Polo, HKM :)

I would recommend using a side pull or scawbrig attachment that you can clip on to your bridle x
