    Thoughts on these ponies

    I know you're not keen on coming to Ireland but i did a quick search and came across this girl by the super Stallion Westside Mirah. My friend bred her mare with him and the filly she has is amazing. Beautiful temperament and very scopey...

    Whats The Worst Comment A Judge Has Ever Made To You In A Showing Class?

    My horse and a friend's were entered in the coloured class at a county show in the summer. We had come first in another show a few weeks ago so were hoping we would place possibly. Not to be! The ride judge only placed anything that could be described as a plod. Any of the horses that were any...

    Census of opinions please?

    Premier Equine Outdoor rugs can also be used as indoor rugs also. I do, however, have one of each. Though when the nights were just starting to drop in temperature and Miller was coming in for the night I'd leave his light sheet on. He came to no harm.

    Grey pony muck stains NIGHTMARE!

    As the only coloured on a yard of bays, my lad looks so scruffy especially as his mane is mostly white and he loves a good roll. All the bays have a quick brush and they are gleaming!

    Advice Please from Parents with Kids Competing re yard...

    My 7 yr old has lessons once a week at a yard 40mins from home (she is by no means at the level of your Mini). She loves her instructor there and is gaining so much confidence but the main reason we chose there is because its only 5 mins from the yard where my horse is stabled. My horse is only...

    Horses Vs Work

    I work full time 9-5pm and have 2 small children who are with a minder during the day. I moved my horse to a yard beside work and go out at lunch time Tues-Fri (Monday is his day off), one evening midweek, Sat and Sun.

    Buying a horse - how did you know they were "the one"?

    When I had Miller on trial I took a day off work and spent the day out on a hack, jumping in the arena and popped some x country jumps. I'm not very keen on x country but attempted my first ever double of tyes. I got the stride in the middle completely wrong and should have ended up on the...

    Horsey bucket list

    For me the main thing on my list was to have my own horse and I finally did that last November at the grand old age of 34! I had 2 bad falls in big fields off bolting horses so my big dream is to take my boy into a stubble field for a canter and actually enjoy it. Ditto at the beach! Though I...

    Name for a coloured colt?

    I am loving Jigsaw! I know a coloured called Minstrel and my own coloured boy is called Miller (He came with that name and I'm superstitious about not changing horses' names!)

    Premier Equine are brilliant to deal with. I wouldn't think you should have a problem.
