That is what I'm afraid of, we've already been quarantined for 14 weeks and some ponies are still showing signs of it. It seems like it's just never going to sto! Eek! I totally get why people wouldn't want someone to move off a contaminated yard, but like you said I have vets permission and I...

Thank you for understanding too! One of mine got tested due to the YO forcing us to, because he was ill with pneumonia 3 weeks before strangles came onto the yard (he hadn't been off he yard in a year and a half either) and it came back negative, thankfully! My other ones haven't shown any...

To also clarify to people- several vets have agreed to the person moving her horses off and have taken strict measures (testing them 3 times over the period of at least a month, monitoring temperatures closely, and her land is actually part of her garden so is no where near any other horses to...

Thank you! You seem to be the only person what understood me when I said I'd move to PRIVATE land and have them tested for clarity, I would never just move onto another yard and expect nothing to come with it! And for people saying me and other should talk to the YO's about it- we have and they...

The horrible strangles:( unfortunately the yard my horses are currently at came down with a case of it around 14 weeks ago. It was a very mild case, I fact 3 different vets didn't spot it until someone on the yard forced them to test for it and it came back positive. Anyway in these passed weeks...

I used a nathe on my mate when I first got her because she was so sensitive in the mouth and she loved it! She worked amazingly in it! However, after about 3 months of having no issues with it, I went to tack her up and noticed she had chewed the whole side of it and I was quite confused because...

Thank you so much for that reply! Yes when you say she might be hollow in the back but feels different, that would match what she looks like in videos. When we first got her she used to just hollow her back and canter on the spot so I probably haven't adjusted to a feeling of her not doing that...

So I've had my mare for almost a year now and it's fair to say she's improved my riding ALOT! But one thing I do have a problem with is knowing wether she's actually working correctly or not?! She feels like she's working in a lovely light outline and she's really supple (most of the time), she...

I have never pulled any of mine but I know people who do and many people out competing seem to have them pulled. Is there a reason or is it preference? I only showjump at the moment but looking to do some wh and eventing does it make a difference if it is/ isn't pulled? Thanks :)

My boy blue ? Sorry I'm not very good/creative at naming!

A lot of people were talking about their ponies being not as calm as they would like in their dressage tests and I seem to be having the same problem! Our last test we did was an intermediate and to put it straight: we cantered down the centre line.. Sideways! And managed to pull off a trot in...

Two of my ponies were exactly like this 24/7 after spending their first night next to each other (stables are opposite). They would Winnie constantly with the highest screeching noises you could imagine! So assuming your horse is like this maybe it'll do what ours have eventually done and stop...

I'm going to make this paragraph very short because I literally just typed it all out then my phone crashed..:( but yeah..! I am currently 15 and have a 14.2hh pony and would love to compete her bsja but I am not sure what classes I am allowed to do as am slowly building up heights from 2ft9...

I broke mine last year and was expecting an extremely long recovery beachside that's what I was told! However, within 6/7 weeks I felt fine, I'd already say on my pony plenty of times and before I knew it was riding and competiting again! My friend also broke her elbow and 6 weeks later went to...

I LOVE compositi!!! The grip on them is good & my foot stays in place better:) would highly recomend, cheap and can also be different colours of treads!x
