    Fed up

    Use the pony as part of PE, the biological side such as heart rate and such. (its in NC if your following that). You school it and children learn whats happening with her and your body.

    What to do with the horse when you go to Uni

    I picked a uni near home, commute in and kept the horse! Depends if you want the student lifestyle. If you enjoy hangovers and takeaways and the like I would loan the horse out, if you would rather keep riding and the horse pick a uni near to home :)

    A & P weight gain or R & B ready mash extra

    I tried the allen and page weight gain for my tb, it seemed to work but it was so hard to come by (1 week my poor boyfriend did an 60mile round trip just for one bag of feed) so we swapped onto topspec and it seems to be working.

    what did you do in your first lesson?

    You could look into your universities Volunteering opportunities, you may be able to get them to help you to find a charity who is in need of a hand! meaning you get some free time with horses! xx

    Dreamcoat

    Ahh thats what I have been paranoid about, lots of the shops near me seemed to be hit and miss with having it in stock and I'm now tempted to stock up!!!! Does it smell the same in the plastic bottle? I have been known to use it on my own hair just for the smell :P poor pony gets drowned in the...

    Dreamcoat

    Probably a silly question, but does anybody know if you can get the metal bottles of dream coat refilled? I'm almost at the end of my bottle and it feels wasteful binning the metal bottle! Also is there any other horse sprays that smell anywhere near as good as it ;) xx

    Hardening up hooves?

    isn't formaldehyde the chemical they use to preserve dead bodies? I vaguely remember people kicking off because it had been used in nail polish and eyelash glue and its linked to cancer?! even if it works its probably not a nice chemical to be playing with!!
