Sorry was meant to say, if she lived out I could prob cut her meds back!

Hi thanks for everyone's good advice! Steroids could be making her spook but she's been on them since I got her and has never reacted like this before in a spook situation, but can't cut them back having to increase as she's still heaving today. Not ever had her heave this long before and...

Thankyou, I can leave her out where I am so may give it a go. I hadn't given her haylage because I thought might make her fizzy when ridden but she is anyway so prob wouldn't matter. I will do the bute trial when she's stopped heaving. So strange that she was nearly off the nebuliser last week...

Hi, by perfect in summer I meant riding wise but still suffers with heaves. She has soaked hay, eucalyptus bedding. Nebuliser, supplements in feed. Can't live out as not hardy enough loses weight and gets cold, still heaves anyway. In summer I have to watch she doesn't get laminitis being on...

Hi everyone, 18 months ago I bought my 12 year old daughter a gorgeous British riding pony through people in the pony club. We had her on a months trial and was perfect exactly the right second pony to move on to. The first winter she got pretty fresh but did all the right things, back, teeth...

Hi thanks for your reply, sorry couldn't get back online! Both branches are in the same area but we left the old branch as the new one is nearer but completely different to the old one! The old one was a lot friendlier and laid back the new one is really competitive and the parents and children...

Hi, we recently changed to a different pony club branch as the new one is nearer to us but my daughter is really unhappy, no fault of the branch just different to the last. Is it that easy to change back? And is it up to the DC of both branches? Thanks

Hi, I've been doing some research and found that my pony is the mother to oasthill camomile and wondered if anyone knew her. Be lovely to know what she's like and what she's up to. Fine to private message me! Thanks

Apart from pony club can anyone recommend a fun riding club for kids in the East Sussex / kent area? Finding pony club a bit serious at the mo and need a club or somewhere to have fun. Daughter lost faith and confidence in her pony after her fall and we need to find it again! Thanks

Yes there is a contract, but seems owner has suddenly put in her own rules. There is nothing physically wrong with the pony he's just taking the mick, yes the tack is his! I wouldn't risk any child on him now and at the end of the day he's on loan so should be simple :-/ .

According to my sisters solicitor this isn't as easy as returning the pony!!! She needs a vet to check the pony out before it returns to the owner, this will back her up if the owner says there is a problem and try's to blame my sister for it! Honestly it makes you wonder why you bother, you...

I can look at it from her pov because I loaned my sons pony out, it didn't work with them, luckerly picked her up ASAP as all that time she had been left in a field to get fat, had sun burn on her nose her tack had been dumped by the gate and no loaners to be seen! I got her home my son rode her...

He was both lead rein and off! He was tried by both children and looking back seemed the owner seemed over joyed that my daughter was jumping him and cantering round so well- maybe because he's usually a little git! I really can't see that he's done PC etc he's so spooky too, no good for my...

I'm posting for my sister, she has a pony on loan which isn't working out. He tanked off with my nephew who is 5, mum was walking along side she literally turned her back and he was gone and fell off quite bad and won't get back on ( don't blame him). My daughter thought she'd get on him who's...

You can get it from most supermarkets and from Indian shops! I need to try it really regardless of how she may react otherwise I fear we will lose her as she's heaving more now than she did do, she's only 10 :( . That Facebook page for turmeric users has brill advice!
