    Bitless to bit

    Hi all, My pony is currently in a bitless bridle which he loves working in. (he's 7) Trouble is, I'm wanting to do some showing this summer and he's never had a bit in his mouth. I've heard of judges marking you down for being in a bitless so thought I should be the same as everyone else. I...

He's on hifi and pony nuts - 1 large scoop twice a day and then has two hay nets at night. (Hes 14.2 and 6 years old) However there is no grass left in the field and...

    Horse and traffic phobia

    My 6 year old pony is brilliant in every way apart from his little traffic phobia. I don't know if something scared him as a baby or what but i've been trying for 8 months now and he's still scared of them. It's not him being silly he's just generally scared *****less of them! Cars he's not too...
