thank you for your comments. I am not judgemental just wondered what others thought guess i kind of respected the opinion of people on here, but i shall crawl back to my little corner now......

she has never owned a horse, she used to help out on my dads yard when we were children. I kind of feel its the pony she never had. He is terrified of him and she said he will need to stop being a baby and get on with it

ha ha i must have leaned on the key pad just one "going" required!

please tell me i am not being over protective! My cousin has recentley taken a pony on full loan for her child, the pony is supposed to be a lead rein to first ridden pony but i am very worried that he is more of a teenagers pony not a very slightly built 7 year old! He does not like his feet...

its been quite a few years since i owned but when i did you didnt rug natives and you didnt feed supplements apart from a salt lick my mare was on pony nuts, bran mash and hay! Its all so different now,i would probably get lynched if i did that now.

i got dragged by a 20yr old pony yesterday that has prob never been taught ground manners consistently, i would say its better to teach them to lead nicely from as early as possible to stop bad habits forming.

my daughter is 6 and shares a pony. The original idea was that she would eventually loan him, however he has a few personality quirks which the owner is fine with but that i do not like, also the natives can be prone to lami to just make sure you consider that. Her share pony has been great for...

probably a huge long shot but just wondering if anyone knew or knew of my old pony. Nicky would be into her early 30's now, beautiful 12.2h grey welsh mare. Total angel, would have trusted her with a baby on her back. Quite slightly built, suffered with laminitis. Was sold to a lady in the...

thank you all so much. Have since found out he actually does that to everybody apart from my friend and her children, so actually he is a very naughty boy that needs to be taught properly. I would never allow my horse to behave that way, some friend eh!

i was one! Used to get up at 5.30am and ride my bike a mile to the yard, feed 20 horses and ponies before school, then be back up there after school to muck out etc got to ride some lovely horses but also got lots of abuse from unkind owners that didnt appreciate my dedication and took me for...

you would think i had never been around horses from this post but i started riding aged 3, owned my own for 10years, but have taken a break for a number of years due to various reasons. I am having lessons again because i took such a long break and would hope to own again in a couple of years...

well there was me thinking my confidence in the saddle was just the problem, seems not! Went to help my friend today with her pony, was so looking forward to it. She told me he is bombproof, never kicks, bites etc her kids can lead him in from the field even. So i managed to catch him pretty...

i will only be in the field so nobody will see me hopefully lol thank you its reassured me that i wont squish the little sweetheart

wow must be strong little fellas! He is basically wasted just standing in a field so it would do her a favour too, i would only be pottering on him, no jumping or anything like that. Thank you for help its been drivin me mad all night lol

hi all, i have taken quite a long break from riding but start some lessons next week. A good friend of mine has said i am welcom to ride her old plodder to gain confidence on when i feel ready, he is a kids pony and is very patient. My problem is that he is only 12h and at 5ft5 and 9st 7lb...
