Hi, Are there any horsey shops that do student discounts? Just wondering as I’m studying an equine course this year and it would be great to get a discount on the stuff I might need 😅 Thank you x

I will be over 16 when I hopefully compete and I am hoping to buy a horse around 16hh �� very helpful, thank you!

I’m very interested in competing with BS but I’m not very sure of how to go about it. I’m a teenager, and find all the info a bit overwhelming, could someone please explain quite simply some info about how to start and the different levels? TIA x

Thanks for all your responses, I am actually a teenager and I was interested in the responses. I have actually never done the things listed when I’ve loaned so maybe I’m just more responsible for my age? I can definitely see your points though, I know several people I’d be a bit wary of loaning...

Previous loan horse was a lot more tense when it was windy, he was almost bombproof when the wind wasn’t blowing but particularly when any bags or trees were waving he’d be more alert and tense up a bit and have the odd spook x

Hi, I was just wondering about why there’s so many people that refuse to loan to teenagers and what the reasons behind it are? I’m interested in any stories you have to support your thoughts :)

Thank you for all your replies 😊

Hi, I need some advice on how to tell someone I’m not interested in their horse in a polite way. after viewing a loan, I’ve decided it’s not the ideal situation but don’t want to sound rude or a time waster when telling the owner she won’t be suitable. The horse won’t be suitable because...

Hi, so I’m going to view a horse on full loan tomorrow and I’m quite nervous. I don’t really need advice on what to ask or what to look for, more on the riding part? I’m a confident rider on horses but when people are watching me I feel so self conscious and I’m scared she won’t let me loan her...

Well mine gets a couple days a week off anyway and when I go away she gets a wee break.

Thank you!

Hi, so I was wondering how you would teach a horse to gallop? Do they naturally gallop or would you need to teach them? Asking about a Highland Pony :) I am interested in galloping on hacks but not sure how to go about it with a 7 year old who's never been galloped on before! Thank you :)

Aha my Highland I'm loaning is exactly the same, so comfortable but not when I get hair coating my jodhpurs!

Hi, I'm looking for some country boots, preferably under £55 as I don't have a lot of money to spend on them as I'm already forking out for a ton of new horse stuff. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Heya, I absolutely love riding bareback as it feels like I'm so much more connected to my pony, does anyone else feel like this and how often do you ride bareback?
