    Should I? Shouldn’t I?

    Hello! I have a 5 year old tb who is a little superstar. We have done a few bits of xc schooling/lessons and he has done a few show crosses and a 70cm ODE which, when I actually ride him go very well. He has the odd stop but it is ALWAYS due to me not doing anything and literally just sitting...

    Sounds lovely! I’m looking forward to seeing your progress - if you decide to post about it of course! Thank you, Pea has certainly not been saintly. He spent most of his time at camp on two legs and I have fallen off him more in the past 10 months than I have in 20 years! He is stubborn and...

    Hasn't time flown... Some of you may have seen on my other thread but the wonderful Mr Gatsby did not make the recovery we had hoped so he was PTS in Feb. Gutted and found making the decision incredibly hard and still question whether I did the right thing but here we are. Pea is now top string...

    Mr G's ROR journey

    I’m desperately sad to update that we made the decision to put G to sleep on Friday. After a consultation from the vets on weds, we still had a very lame Horse, no more insurance money and a time limit on his current turn out situation. I feel truly devastated and experiencing a horrible...

    Follow on thread...would you PTS a horse with mild health issues

    I feel like I am potentially in this situation. The wonderful G had to have surgery for an infected tendon sheath last summer due to a ‘superficial change’ on his DDFT. Upon vet recommendation, he has been turned out over winter up until around 3 weeks ago. He’s come in looking...

    2018 Body protector show down

    I’ve just changed from an airowear outlyne to a provent and it is EXCELLENT. I’ve just started wearing a BP for hacking after being dumped by baby pony and not much enjoying it and absolutely hated the outlyne. So bulky but the provent is light and flexible. I can hardly tell...

    Then he had a week off due to frost and we went to some dressage. We came 2nd on 66.52% only 0.25% off winning with some really fabulous comments again. I am actually feeling brave enough to show you all so here is a short clip of his last outing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0St7csZZiE...

    Opinions Wanted

    Thought I'd do a December update since little Pea head has been quite busy. I had horrific flu for two weeks then we had the icy weather so he didn't get up to much during the week so I decided to take him to a pleasure ride with some friends. I did question my sanity but decided that I bought a...

    Where to look for nice loan horses

    Hmm I loaned my first pony for 3 years I think. She was a beautiful Connie cross warmblood perfect pony club mare from a complete stranger. In fact, I never even met the owner I got her from someone else that was loaning her and they just asked a friend that they met in the chip shop if they...

    Competing easily stressed exracehorse

    DDFT - Stories, Advice and box rest tips!

    My pride and joy had a surgical flush for a septic tendon sheath as a result of a ‘superficial change’ to his DDFT which they could obviously only see when he had surgery via a scope. Surgery went really well but the period after didn’t. He couldn’t cope being turned out...
