Of course they do something thats lazy and stiff with no suppleness is going to make you ridigid with legs and whip constantly flapping! It will also teach you bad habits as you see with riding school children (classic pony club kick and pull riding). Dont be to hard on yourself!

Some of you may already know but I bought my first foal just under a month ago. She is quiet and so easy to handle except for two problems which are becoming worse and worse. a)The first is doing up a head collar, i can touch her head and ears and fiddle with the collar but the min i go to do...

That is exactly my reasoning Amymay! Obviously If i find he doesn't trot or play with his friend any more and just seems down in himself then I will have to consider it , but I was just worrying whether anyone with more experience in this area could tell me if he is in pain an not showing? am i...

Crugeran Celt please dont feel that way! I am just the most fussy OCD owner going!

It's pouring down here atm and really windy, think we are having tail end of storm so I think I will leave her in , shes currently sleeping in the straw!

My 6 month old weanling filly who has until now always been sensible in the field, apparently had a bit of a mad moment today and slipped over and fell, she has no swelling or cuts just two scuffs one on her knee and one on her shoulder and seems to be a bit stiff on same shoulder. I have bought...
