Thank you for all your advice! We’ve only had her since June and she’s already chilled out so much since we got her. She’s not bothered by picking out her feet, rubbing her bag legs or bum with things it’s literally when I ask her to move over. I def think it’s a stubborn/moody thing! I’ll do...

Basically as the title says. We have a 15hh 4 year old Connie mare and she’s the sweetest thing, still very babyish, has been lightly backed but we are taking g things really slowly with her. She’s pretty good in the ground, stands still happily, grooms happily, can pick feet etc. I’ve also run...

Thank you. They are not stabled at night although have access to their stables, they have a small ménage that they are in. Yes I agree I think its weight gain. I usually turn out at night from mid/end may, may do that now.

So my boy has lost a lot of fitness since this bloody lockdown situation. Me and my daughter have been riding once or twice a week but only schooling as we have to box him to my friends to go hacking and that’s a no no right now. Also can’t have our weekly lessons. I have 3 kids so can’t just...

My daughters pony has rubbed his bum and pull out half if his tail, it looks ridiculous! Luckily we have found all the hair that was tangled on the fence and have kept it. I was wondering if anyone knows how I would go about making a tail extension piece? I have seen them for sale from £100+...

So welsh d boy, quite strong and heavy leaning in the mouth. Had his teeth done last week as he seemed unhappy with his bit, which was a loose ring french link sweet iron. Vet said he has a large tongue and very fleshy lips, but high(ish) palette. He advised a happy tongue loose ring bomber...

What is the make of your nebuliser? He’s my 5 year olds little pony and although he isn’t ridden much and is more like a big dog we’d do anything to make him more comfortable. He isn’t insured as he’s always been a hardy little monkey. However, that won’t stop me from buying what he...

I’ll check that for sure, is she better on the cetirizine hydrochloride? I’m going to ring the vet tomorrow again and ask if there is anything else we can try as it’s horrible to watch.

Yes he has 10 of the piriton tablets everyday during this period too!

He’s Just turned 15. We’ve had him 5 years, it’s got worse in the last 3 years for sure. Before us he lived near the white cliffs of Dover and never had a cough, we live in the middle of the country surrounded by fields of oilseed rape etc 😕

My little welsh a always struggled to breathe around this time of year up until about October. His breathing is very laboured and he has a dry cough and nasal mucus. We’ve already had the vet out twice and he’s had ventipulmin x 2 and equisolon steroids (he doesn’t have rao/copd just...

As the title says really. I have a Welsh d gelding, he’s as good as gold, but before him I had a cob that was an absolute arse, I came off quite a lot. My new boy has never given me reason to think he’ll tank or bolt or do anything like the cob did. However, everytime I have a lesson I...

We have quite abit of spooking from our normally solid boy and also a little bit of squealing too 😳

I bought a very handsome welsh d before Christmas and am thinking about doing some showing with him this year and since Equifest is right on my doorstep may try to qualify for it! I’ve had a look at the schedule but am so confused. What can I enter him for, he is a 14hh 10 year old gelding.

Ha, I love him he’s so good! Just need to learn his quirks etc! Still early days! Some great (and kind) tips! Shitting it for my lesson tonight 😳
