    Breeding a dun connemara mare?

    I have a dun connemara mare by moonlight silver shadow. I know very little about genetics. If I wanted to put her in foal in future years, what colour of stallion should I put her to to avoid breeding a blue eyed cream? What colour stallion would give me the best chance of breeding a dun foal...

    Bit for strong connemara?

    Hi guys I have a connemara who is very strong and leans a lot. I've always liked to ride in snaffles but this boy just needs something more. I've got him in a port mouth snaffle currently, I've tried straight bars, hanging cheeks, links, rollers etc but he still leans and powers on. (He has had...

    Lameness on right circle?

    Hope you don't mind me asking but was there heat/swelling with the suspensory injuries? We've sorted my boys lameness but my friends had a pony who done a suspensory and the only symptom was that he started stopping, no lameness or anything obvious but they knew he wasn't right and that's what...

    Lameness on right circle?

    *Just to update you all* The vet came out and she agreed that the lameness was in the foot, she wasn't overly worried about it so that settled my nerves a bit. She had a poke and a feel at him but there was no obvious heat, swelling or pain to touch. She gave me a few days bute and he was on...

    Lameness on right circle?

    I do hack so yeah he does plus he can be quite sensitive without shoes. I tried him barefoot for 6 weeks but it just didn't work for him

    Lameness on right circle?

    My horse has been lame for about 10 days (vet is coming in the morning) but just wondered if you guys think this sounds like a hoof problem or a higher up problem? Basically he has been lame since he last got shod. I initially thought abscess but farrier has checked twice and can't see...

    Horse tattoo?

    I would love a portrait of him but I don't think I'd ever get one as being honest, if it didn't look exactly like him Id just be disappointed!! My tattoo artist is amazing but it's a big ask to do an exact portrait so I think that ideas a no as much as I'd love it! There was a big tree in...

    Horse tattoo?

    A year ago, my little 14.2hh pony passed away from old age. I owned him for along time, since i was 14 and took it very hard when he passed away, and I think i'm finally ready to get my tattoo to remember him by. Has anyone any ideas of what I can get? I was thinking on a horse shoe wrapped...

    Boredom breakers?

    Guys, not being rude but I'm asking for boredom breakers not people's opinions on how I should keep my horse. You don't know all my reasons for keeping him in and I didn't ask for people to make jabs at my horses welfare. I certainly would not make remarks about how other people keep their horse...

    Boredom breakers?

    never thought on a big mirror (or shiny stainless) must get him one of those. his favourite things are things he isn't meant to have, such as buckets, rugs, towels, grooming brushes and the zips/buttons on your coat! must bring him up a big gym, ball too, no doubt he'll love it :)

    Boredom breakers?

    sorry but i'm slightly offended by that. 'nothing worse than pushing a ball around all night' i can think of plenty worse... at least he has a stable which is a lot more than many horses out there. he is in at night as he is fully clipped due to the work he does. No one in our area does winter...
