    Mini advice please!

    Yes, the plan is either for myself or my daughter (whose 8) to take him out to local shows. And maybe do a little agility with him too.

    Mini advice please!

    Thanks for all the replies! Boyo should be gelded tomorrow! Then I'll book his transport. And now trying for a pic:

    Mini advice please!

    But I don't know how to do pics if photobucket doesn't work any more! As for just one? These days I have a cob, fell and a welsh A... Wonder how that happened! So he's going to be going in the paddock with them. Damned fatties. And yes, already made contingencies for an extra line of fencing...

    Mini advice please!

    So I've managed to buy myself a miniature horse, who doesn't arrive for a couple of weeks because he needs to be gelded first. I'm hoping to keep him in the paddock with my now laminitic cob, so he'll be behind electric fencing. I am willing to take any and all tips of keeping him there...

    Winter Isabell Werth Dressage Saddle for Fell / Cob

    We have a fell (and a cob!) and the throwogood cob saddles work for both of them.

    Best birthday present for a cob

    RIP

    My faithful ariat yard boots are dying, the stitching is going on the same place on both of them. But I will not give them up until I have wet feet! They have seen me through a couple of years of standing outside at work as well as all the chores on the yard. I am however browsing for a new pair...

    What's going on at equestrian clearance?!

    Mine has also been put on hold. When this has happened before they usually cancel.

    What's going on at equestrian clearance?!

    I've been waiting 2 weeks now for notice of a ruddy shavings fork (one of the wave ones) to be dispatched. Nowt. Avoiding from now on.

    Anyone else's grass not growing?

    Our ground is rock hard. My two are already in their starvation paddock and the grass just isn't growing. I mean it's not lush outside, but given the gelding's field is 15 acres between 7 horses that's a lot of grass I don't want them on. So I am now playing 'juggle the strip fencing' and...

    Finding a saintly cob

    We got one of these, 14h, though somewhat green, but he is pretty much as described. Person I bought him off specialises in family cobs. Happy to pass on her info if you PM me. She's in Yorkshire.
