OP, if FfionWinnie is talking about Daisy here then you'd be best to bite her hand off. I don't think you could find a safer hack. I rode her out for the first time in a bareback pad and felt as safe as houses on her. She's a wonderful mare with bags of character and is honestly as bombproof...

Great outcome - well done for pushing this and getting a good result.

JulesRules, where are you? Number 3 sounds remarkably like a lady I ditched fairly recently.

Thanks for the well wishes, everyone! Mother hood is blissful! So, Liv went on Saturday and I'm so pleased with reports so far. She's pretty poop around other horses and tends not to want them near her but she has turned out beautifully with her new boyfriend; she has gone through gates with...

Worse than birth, slipped discs, broken collar bone all put together I reckon! I was determined not to give up but my husband begged me to as he hated seeing me in such pain! I love the convenience but not the time attached - still very early days though I guess and she will become more...

I had NO idea what to expect and it has been the worst pain I have ever experienced but I was told to persevere through the pain/sobbing/hysteria (all me) and 5 weeks and 2 days later we emerged in to a blissful experience that I had imagined it would be from the beginning 😂 She's...

Ooh yes - joint first I'd say!

First prize to you FW. You were absolutely right!

Just thought I would update for anyone interested. So, baby is now almost six weeks old and whoever said that I should use services for a week and then crack on has clearly never tried to breast feed! We are coming out of the other side now though and life is wonderful. That said, I've only...

What's his past that made him so sad? I didn't realise he'd come shut down.

You don't have to have him doing more at all but what you described certainly ain't hard work. It would still be considered medium at best. You could try longer hacks, interval work? With his injury he doesn't sound quite suitable for 'hard' work and there is no guarantee it would change his...

Eh!?

That's your opinion TP, which is fine. I think the further info was rather predictable considering the responses OP got.

OP cried because she thought her horse might die as a result. You're talking about an entirely different thread.

Disagreeing with someone, their reactions, emotions and thoughts is not being nasty and unsupportive. This is exactly why not every child should get a certificate on test results day; zero resilience.
