OMG this is so funny I was laughing so hard I had to run off for a bathroom break. Red and Noodles you have me in tears sorry it must have been really scary for you at then time. But so funny to read and imagine the pair of you!

Wheeee GG. LUCKY George coming to !I've with you. Lucky Dan too, I'd love someone to surprise me with a horse. A nice Friesian would be lovely if anyone is feeling generous.

Same height as you Tank, I empathize with you. OUCH, hope you don't bruise too badly.

Yes, that's what they say. You will be fine. I've heard the pros say, If there are no nerves then you should get out of the sport. Distract yourself, get your hair or nails done, have a massage whatever you like. If you have to think about it try to remember the best jump you can think of...

Feel your pain B & J, but when I retired my lovely old girl she felt like you were sitting on an armchair. I went on to a narrow built TB and felt like I was perched on a rail, nothing under me. It was horrible!

Love this. I saw a saddle advertised "inc stir up irons". I could have done with a pair of those with my last mare, lazy ****** she was. :)

How times have changed, sounds like Mrs Bucket and her ilk have moved to the country "with room for a poneh, don't you know". Forgot that they poo, didn't they. I remember when I was very young, my Grandad and Mr Taylor next door would race each other outside with buckets and shovels in...

OMG how insensitive, I would be so upset were I to be the poor O.P.

Sienna, I have nothing to add it's all covered above. I just wanted to say that I'm so terribly sorry that you have found yourself in this position. I know how horrible it is as I was in the same boat many years ago. Your girl sounds lovely and perfectly normal to me. Wishing you all the best...

Ha Russian horse, you beat me to it. This is exactly what I was thinking,in 2005/6 I had never heard of horse hair bracelets. Yes OP I'd happily give it to her along with a nice photo as someone else suggested.

My first time in the saddle in over eight years was 9th Dec 2014 a Birthday gift from my best friend. After getting badly broken (permanent back injury) and massive confidence issues. Tried getting on a 16.2 two a year ago but ended up in tears when my foot went in the stirrup. I wish there...

So glad you called an end to the lesson, can't begin to imagine the number of people that would have pushed him on. I can only echo the sentiments of the other posts on here, novice yes, (we all were at some stage) numpty most certainly not. Enjoy your riding!

Oh you poor love this is heartbreaking to read. Your love for him shines through. You have turned yourself inside out for your beautiful friend. Sadly he's not getting any better. Let him go darling, there's nothing more you can do for him but this one final kindness release him from...

The OPs post sounds awfuly promising, *dances an excited jig* and slinks away red faced.

C &M I love him looks a really kind friendly boy. I started my baby in a rubber Mullen mouth, errm smeared in golden syrup (yes, he was a bit spoilt). Then switched to an eggbut snaffle with the aforementioned coating. No doubt many will not approve, however that lad never saw a bit he didn't...
