I am at a yard at the moment where i get on well with all the people. There are quite a few horses in our field (I've got a field pony) and it's not very good grazing. Do I move my pony to a stable with better grazing and less horses (no more then 4 in their field) do field ponies react ok to...

Anybody know how I upload a photo?

Well all I've taken the plunge and bought the cob I was loaning! She is gorgeous. Would upload a photo but don't think I can. Hardest part at moment is not spending all my time up yard!

���� pressed the post button too early. Never good typing on phone!! Did post another thread when realised. ��

Thanks guys. Noted. She doesn't do it unless it is after a good session so think should be easily sorted. I'll be ready for her.

I've been loaning my 6 year cob for about 6/8 weeks now and, having followed good advice both from here and my yard am successfully solving a napping problem. She is a dream to ride and well mannered on the ground. Just wondered though that every time we finish a ride she tries to nudge me...

Ha ha ha. Getting used to her now so feeling much less nervous. Thanks

I'm following advice of using my leg and rein to get her past and tbh she is getting better. Stubborn mare though. She decided to try it halfway down school instead but I'm getting better at reading her body so was ready for her! :-)

Thanks for that. Think I worry too much.

Funnily enough she does tend to do more when her left shoulder nearer gate although she'll have a go the other way! I'm on holiday at mo so back riding Tuesday so will put all this in practice and let you know how I get on. Thanks again all for help. Watch this space.... :-)

�� Thanks

���� all noted and appreciated. Thanks again x

Thanks Laura. How would I know if this could possibly be due to fitness level? Don't think she was ridden loads before me due to problems catching and napping. As lovely as she is she is not a beginners horse.

Thanks guys. Definitely like idea of poles. I did take her on first hack last week and she was brill! Walk, trot and even canter with no issues whatsoever. Going to persevere as apart from this issue she seems lovely and possible purchase in the future. 😜

Thanks. Is it true that short workouts are better. I do want to ride longer then 20 mins! Do you think that it is probably because she is still green?
