Brave decision, I’m sending you a hug.

Ouchy, I hope you are only bruised and you heal quickly A E!

I’m afraid you won’t like my response but neurological issues don’t go away and worsen, in all honesty I’d save my money and emotion and pts.

I can imagine your worry…can you let us have his history? What have you bought him to do? What feed and work is he in? Has he always reacted strongly, even in the summer? My gut reaction knowing nothing about him is to cut hard feed out and give him plenty of work to make him physically and...

I think pts is a very sensible option albeit a heartbreakingly brave one.

I feed mine very simply I believe…two have soaked hi fibre cubes with pelleted balancer and the other has Speedibeet and pelleted balancer. I always feed soaked feed so there is liquid going into the gut and I don’t feed chaff because our vet dentist advised against it as it can stick in teeth...

Hedgewitch have an oil for loosening scale and scabs..it smells lovely.

Have private lessons so there is no peer pressure, then book a pony she feels comfortable on. There are a gazillion exercises to do in trot without having to canter and if the teacher is pushy change teacher.

My mares cycle year round.

Oh…not news I wanted to hear…our young mare is lame with next to nothing to see or feel. Vet returning today to scan and X-ray …

We re in a deep freeze but no snow. I can see snow on the higher ground up t’dale though.

Like many above I think a vet investigation is necessary.

What specifically are the behaviours she is exhibiting which you feel are naughty?

Really sorry to hear this, to reclaim after so long seems a bit odd and it might be they are looking at an asset to sell or bored teenager said she’s wants a horse and parents said you ve got one already and text was sent. I will cosmically order that they don’t go through with picking him up!

Happy New Year everyone, may 2026 be kind to us all!
