As others have posted, slow right down. Yes it's difficult seeing others going out enjoying themselves, (I'd give my soul to be able to have one more ride on fynn ). You'll get there, there's tonnes of owners out there in worse situations.

My vet practice was offering discounted acope clinics, they came out to the yard. My oldie has always been stressy and I was convinced they'd find something, plus he has melanomas. The scope shown a tiny, healed ulcer and nothing else. Just a heads up, scoping can sometimes cause an absolute...

It's difficult, as I'm sure they are aware but owners like that won't admit it. A lady on our yard is worried her pony is underweight, after he went on the weighbridge and seen his weight was quite a lot (makes no sense)! His crest is that hard, it drops to one side. We've told her numerous...

My friend used to go trekking regularly on the chase, she spoke highly of buttons, and a coloured called splash. Lovely photos ladies, it's making me more excited to go now, thank you for all of your lovely advice and comments.

I have seen rides before where new riders were falling off trotting/cantering, when they clearly aren't capable of doing the gait. This centre is really good, in splitting into separate groups. They keep beginners separate from novices and experienced. I'm sure I'd be capable of having a trot...

Aww brilliant! I'll post an update once I've had my first trek! Will most definitely be walking like a cowboy afterwards

Exactly this! He owes me nothing, we had a great 16 year ridden life together. He's 26 now, and living his best retirement, here until the very end of his day's, which hopefully will be many more to come.

Yes cannock chase is the centre I'm going to, I've filled out the registration form and put myself as a beginner. Heard really positive things, so thought I'd give it a try x

As thread title, after a 4.5 year out of the saddle stint, I'm planning on booking myself a fortnightly trek. My old boy is fully retired, and I miss being in the saddle. However, as much as I miss it, I'm nervous as I will be riding a complete new horse. Another part of me feels guilty, as it's...

A black hat, that literally looked like an egg perched on top, came with the chin guard too, which always slipped up over my mouth. A thin 'body protector' that wouldn't of ever saved a single organ, riding in wellies and my multi coloured ski trousers, that I could of took part in the crystal...

I personally wouldn't buy a horse with sarcoids, if they've got 2 already, the chances on developing more are pretty high.

She's lovely, local showing you've got plenty of choices. Ranging from age classes/best mare/best handler/rider/family horse/pony, driving type, coloured and spotted classes. Good luck and have a fun season

Simple systems haycare is really good, I tried this for the first time last winter. Has low starch and sugar %, soaks into a mash.

Devils claw has my vote, really helps my 26 year old. I buy either the Navilam-o liquid, or dodson and horrell devils claw root.

I found bozmerix expensive and not effective at all. But my oldie hasn't ever responded to boswellia supplements, only devils claw.
