Another little update! I had my lesson on saturday and it was amazing. I'm still buzzing about it now! We got through quite a lot, did some stirrupless canter and pole work for a little and did some more polework in two-point. My instructor said I have a lovely two point :') I think my balance...

Well I just found it odd that after we started worming her with what the breeder said she'd used, the symptoms were alleviated- so I highly doubt they've a resistance to it? She only recently started showing proper symptoms, and they're definitely roundworms. I'll try to get a picture when I...

She's been wormed with Panacur, which is the same thing her breeder also used. We got her on Thursday the 6th of may.

So I did mention it on this forum before, but I recently got a new puppy. She's been great, is learning really well and has good manners. However, recently she's started showing signs of having Roundworms (as in have been spotted in her stool, showing decreased apetite, etc). We've been...

-In that case, everyone disregard my post, haha.

Your horse is going to need riding much more than once ever few months, it's really not good enough. It's your duty as her owner to ensure she gets the suitable exercise and stimulation, if you're too nervous to ride her at LEAST several times a week then I would suggest you share her out to...

She defintely does seek out attention, and me being me, I can never really resist those sullen puppy eyes! I suppose what's really needed is a little bit more time before play is properly introduced.

I suppose that's it then- no playing, haha. When did you first start introducing play with them? Yep, she has a crate in the living room with a bed and soft toys in that she can go to if she wants to relax but be in the same room as us, but if she wants to get away from us altogether and not be...

God forbid if I genuinely threw the ball in the house- my mum would have me hung, drawn and quartered! My bad, I did phrase it wrong- what I mean is, when she sits nicely I roll the ball for her, she chases it, then comes back over and (naturally) expects me to get it and roll it again for her...

So we just got a puppy (last thursday), and overall she's really great- already sits on command, is learning to be toilet trained, comes when called etc, however playing with her is really difficult. She's a King Charles Cavelier Spaniel and 9 weeks old, so obviously high energy levels are...

In general I actually try to avoid Horsey news, as I tend to see something that frustrates me and I lose a bit of faith in the horse world. However I had the misfortune of seeing this, and i really can't believe she got off with nothing but a little warning. She lost her temper, fair enough...

I would have had that thought myself initially, but ironically on the day I visited to 'scope the place out', someone was actually taking Tom over a little course! It's a small yard so I don't see anyone else riding often, but as far as I can tell he does jump. Thank you for all the nice...

This is quite a vague link, but I know a chestnut welsh mare who's 17 this year but named Cressie. She used to be on a mounted games team, and is currently at a riding school in Ecton (an hour away from where you are ) and has been since 2008. She's around 13hh I think...

Well I had my first lesson there yesterday, it was great! The school itself is absolutely massive (which I love) there are loads of horses and everyone is lovely. I had a lesson with some other women (the youngest was probably about ten years older than me!) and overall it went really well. I...
