    Hyperkeratosis / Mallanders

    Udder cream! I haven't tried that before :) I am a bit worried about clipping his legs because it really is quite severe and he doesn't like me touching his legs so I am not sure how I would clip them without pulling at the scabs and causing more problems :/

    Hyperkeratosis / Mallanders

    Bought a pony and feel totally out of my comfort zone

    I didn't get my first horse until I was older, I then fell off twice within the first week of owning him. I lost my confidence and went through a similar thing where I ended up having other people looking after him as I got nervous. He picked up on my nerves and became scared of me. It then took...

    Bought a pony and feel totally out of my comfort zone

    I can hardly say I am surprised you had initial problems. Your pony has gone from a routine of going out everyday and stretching and running around to then being shut up inside for 2 weeks. I wouldn't, however, blame the pony for your kid falling off or use it as an excuse for not doing anything...
