I drove a 3.5T and was shocked about how much I could feel the pony move in the back. We settled on a 6T as it drives nicely and has all the creature/groom comforts that a PC mum needs!
Just something that I found - My tack locker is the same side as the ramp which I thought was useful but have realised that when the ramp is down there is no where to tie up, so have to tie around the other side and then get the stuff out of the tack locker, its a pain!
Eeeekkkk! and that is why I am not brave enough to consider buying unseen. Thanks for the reality check. I think I better start looking for an older been there seen it one, which are like hens teeth. Its so difficult.
Wow! I keep looking at their videos, currently looking for a safe 15.2hh cob, will be very interested to hear how you get on. Well done for taking the plunge.
We have a very strong pony with a short neck and who goes in pelham roundings, we keep running out of rubber on the reins as we have them so short when jumping particularly when doing tight turns. We don't need a martingale so really need rubber reins, and ideally with continental stops on too...
Thanks everyone. It seems that its not just me then. I have bought a few online and ended up sending them back as they are too big in the waist. It seems to be a bit of trial and error. I would love one shop that did everything all in one place and something a bit more exciting than plain...
Anyone else got teen boy who rides? where do you get your riding kit from? We do a bit of eventing, dressage, hunting and PC stuff. He is currently wearing old kids sized jods 11-12 but is in desperate need of something age appropriate, but without bling or pink. He is 32 jacket and 26 waist...
I remove the leg straps from mine and use a fillet string, after finding a pony caught up in a rug. Luckily she was very calm but had obviously been standing there all night. Could you do that to the rug?
One of our ponies had Dever saddlery bridle as it was the only one I could find that was reasonably priced with no flash. Link here http://www.deversaddlery.co.uk/bridles-c26.html
