Sounds great, thankyou both so much for the replies. It is the saddle company with the horse head as a logo and I think they are something to do with reactor panel saddles too?

You should get the saddle and then show that it doesnt matter what colour it is if you can go clear.....!!! Go for it!

HI, YOUR MARE LOOKS LOVELY AND THIS IS A BIT OF A WIERD QUESTION, WHAT SADDLE DO YOU USE ON HER!? MY MARE IS VERY SIMILAR IN CONFORMATION AND I AM HAVING HELL FINDING A SADDLE TO ACCOMMODATE THE BIG SHOULDER AND LOW WITHER - MY MARE IS ALSO A ISH X SO VERY SIMILAR TO LOOK AT ASWELL! SORRY THIS...

HAS ANYONE HAD EXPERIENCE OF "THE NATIVE PONY SADDLE COMPANY"? THINKING OF HAVING A MADE TO MEASURE FOR A VERY HARD TO FIT MARE AND THEY SEEM TO TALK SENSE ON THEIR WEBSITE AND SPECIALISE IN THE WIDER, LOW WITHER HORSE? LOTS OF MONEY THOUGH, SO SEEKING A BIT OF INFO BEFORE I SACRIFICE THE...

Our vet told us not to use glucosamine on our laminitic shetland or on our insulin resistant 12.1 pony. We havent had any problem with joints or recurrent lameness since we substituted switched to Simple Systems Joint Eclipse and Meta Slim. Fed as a complete programme (they can advise you)...

thanks for the advice. x

Has anyone got any bright ideas for curing a horse who is always calling to friends when being ridden? I am especially interested to hear from anyone who does Parelli or Natural Horsemanship. Thanks

Has anyone got any suggestions to stop a horse getting his tongue over the bit? He doesnt do it all the time but its really annoying! have checked all the relevant back/poll/dental etc, nothing wrong with him! This is just a 16 year old habit that is not going to break over night...

Please help?!!! Does anyone with a cob or feathered horse use pig oil? I have heard it is good to apply to the legs/feathers to protect from mud and if used once a week will provide a barrier that is very effective. We live in an area of clay soil and after all the recent rain our paddocks...

leaving animals in that state he deserved to die. good job he did commit suicide as it saves people forming a lynch mob! i know that isnt a charitable comment but anyone who can watch an animal starve is not worth the air they breathe.

I help a small charity that rescues horses, ponies and donkeys and hardly anyone has heard of it! It is the Pit Pony Sanctuary at Pontypridd. They started out rescuing pit ponies from the mines and since MOSTLY there are now not pit ponies they continue to help needy horses/ponies from any walk...

I think you have to be kind to the horse and not consider jumping which will put more of a strain on the old injuries. If she isnt sound now you need to put together a long term plan with a vet and forget any ideas of doing more than rehabilitation - light hacking perhaps once she is sound (all...

sounds like it was for the "good of parelli" trying to claw back some self respect. I hope this opens eyes of the public as to what an idiot parelli is and how is methods are just tragic abuse of people with problems which could be sorted out by a qualified, bhs instructor not some idiot with a...

The whole practice is based on cr*p and its good that finally, in full public view, parelli got shown for what he is - a fraud.

we had a hydraulic system put on our lorry and its brilliant. as long as you have a manual over ride lever (if the hydraulics fail you can still raise/lower the ramp to get the horse out/in). Its a bit of an expense but worth it as you dont have to struggle but simply press a button and watch...
