Worst fall was when i was riding my horse (who was bad for taking off in open spaces) who took off at a flat out gallop and bucked, unfortunately i didn't check my girth before i got on after a friend tacked up for me, resulted in saddle sliding round and hanging under his belly and me sitting...

My daughter is 3 and we're planning to maybe do a few small local shows this summer with her pony. She already has a show jacket but needs new jods, boots etc. Obviously with her only being young and will outgrow everything quickly, (or she may not even enjoy showing) so i don't want to spend a...

Thanks sandi_84 :D. Don't they just! He's a cheeky wee monkey, but also sweet and lovely.... will do anything for a polo, completely food orientated lol!

Thanks:D

Thanks MrsMozart :). I'll put a few unhairy pics on so you can see his face better, he actually has quite a small pony head.

That's my not so wee man 3 yo now so been starting to back him, have sat on him a few times and at the weekend we had a 2 min plod around the yard. He was a wee superstar and really enjoyed himself :). I'm going to do a bit of hacking inhand and start him on the long reins soon, he'll do a bit...

I love ponies, pick one over a horse any day! I did a bit of jumping with a wee 13.1 highland x eriskay last year, she was a speedy wee thing with a fantastic jump! Im about 5ft5 and 7.5 stone, i've recently started riding my 12.2 sec b (although im a bit long legged for him!) and also have a...

What about the thorowgood pony club saddle? I have one for my welshie and i know a few others who also have them for theirs.

I need to get a new bit for my Sec B so i can start riding him. I bought a 4.5" Korsteel JP comfort snaffle but it was too big so was thinking a 4 1/4" may be suitable but not sure which type to get. He has a very small fine narrow head and a little mouth. What do you suggest and those of you...

Thanks guys! Just wanted to find out what everybody thought before i decided to start riding him, as long as i'm not too heavy thats fine. Although im pretty sure i'll still get a few funny looks and whispers as i have long legs so i know i'll look too big. Yes Emma its me, did my name give it...

Im new to this forum so apologies if i have this in the wrong place! My Section B is 4 now and has really filled out, he has good bone and is 12.2hh. I'm 5ft5 and weigh about 7.5 stone. Do you think i'd be ok to ride him? I wont be galloping around xc courses or anything like that, maybe wee...
