I’m in Lancashire.

Where are you? I’ve a few I’d be happy to let you try. I eventually got my very sensitive pony a titanium baucher. Yes very expensive but worth it to have a happy pony.

There’s a reason why they are rescues. I have a lovely rescue pony as do many of my friends.

Horses don’t have to be medicated for Cushings. Medication doesn’t cure it only helps control the symptoms. My horse was diagnosed with Cushings, I tried the medication but it didn’t help him so now he doesn’t have any medication & is doing well.

I so much agree with you.

Really enjoyed watching this. Interesting that he had so many oral variations to communicate with the horse. Of course the horse was trained to this level wearing a bridle, I wonder can the same level of training be accomplished with a neck strap/rein. I loved that he thanked the horse with a...

I found mine at HAPPA. I’ve had him 6 yrs now (after retiring my 16.1hh homebred, trained, competed & a real super star gelding). My HAPPA pony is 14hh Welsh D gelding now 12 yrs old. I spent a long time taking things slowly & building his confidence & trust in me. He likes to investigate...

I’m quite good at this.

Thank you everyone.

We’re not really jumpers, we just go out to unaffiliated Clear Round competitions occasionally. I carry a simple leather covered showing cane & use it to touch shoulder when needed to help keep him straight. My local venue is now running all SJ to BS rules. Do I need to buy a SJ whip or can I...

Is this marshmallow the plant & not the sweet?

My horse has Cushings & is not a big eater & will leave feed if he doesn’t want it. I have him on Baileys Keep Calm, not because he needs to be kept calm but because he seems to like it. I’m looking for a mix with low starch & sugar & no molasses to add to his mash that will encourage him to...

I got a fantastic pony from HAPPA. I’ve had him 6 yrs now. He was beautifully broken & backed when I got him, just a bit green. I spent 12 months taking things slowly & developing a bond together. He is much loved & admired by everyone he meets. I’ve even been asked if he is for sale.
