    Aching after riding.

    I’d love to go to the Spanish boy twice a week but it’s nearly a two hour round trip. I don’t mind the time it’s just not fair abandoning OH with dog walking etc. maybe I will start going twice the odd week. Can’t be aching like this!

    Aching after riding.

    I’m 62 and until recently rode a couple of times a week. That’s now dwindled to a couple of times a month. Problem is I ache so much after riding. Our hacks are normal WTC and about 2 hours long. Any tips for staying riding fit without riding? I really ache still from riding on Sunday! (Friday).

    Competing with no noseband or browband

    I made a browband out of a black t shirt. My little highland had a huge forehead so I plaited some t shirt material. It worked quite well.

    Am I doing the right thing selling my kids pony?

    Heart ruling head here. You know he has to go really. It’s sad but better for everyone. Just make as absolutely sure as you can it’s a good home. I’d personally offer to have him back if not settled in a reasonable period. Just to be sure.

    Fave old thing fave new thing horsey!

    My fave old thing is/was my old Toggi Calgary boots. Finally given up the ghost after 15 years! Fave new thing is I’ve discovered riding skirts! Love them. Warm legs and less wet on damp days! What’s your fave old and fave new?

    Keeping horse after having children

    Lady at our full grass livery came with her TB four years ago. Wasn’t sure how the mare would react but she is very happy. She has a two year old daughter now.

    Anyone turned out 24/7 yet?

    Mine is out 24/7 anyway but mud around corral noticeably drier. Field is lovely and dry and grass growing. We’re not allowed winter and summer paddocks just 7 acres all year round for 3 or 4 horses. Not the best system but for the most part it’s ok.
