That’s cheaper than anywhere I know in Essex.

I had a pony stallion. He was kept like the others, mainly out in a (gelding) herd. He’d always lived in herds so even though he had covered, mares had taught him to behave himself well. We gelded him at about 10 so he could go and be a pony club pony as he didn’t fancy flashy adult pony life as...

I made my annual plan then arranged my overtime around it to afford it. I’m quite optimistic in my planning though so always run light…

Im not sure what company your vets is but often £250 is the minimum deposit for a direct insurance claim these days. If they don’t do direct claims at all for Petplan then probably worth calling elsewhere as some vets will.

To be honest I’m one of the ones that get frustrated when an event is cancelled due to a horse fatality. But absolutely I would not be riding around a dead one! I’m not sure I’d even want mine to see the deceased one, I wouldn’t want to! And certainly wouldn’t want a lesson with the trainer/in...

Looking through the pictures from RIHS and HOYs the last few years should give you your answer. I’m not sure there’s been any but don’t follow hunters! You do get dun RIDs I think (the ones I’ve known have been Dun but grey out) and obviously WB blood is prevalent now but they still don’t seem...

I work nights at an emergency small animal vets :)

You’ll need to clip feathers and plait I think. Unless she’s registered Welsh?

That awkward two tone look going on here for 2/3.

Isn’t training the horse to be sharp off the aids and as forwards as you want part of learning to ride? Anything hot blooded you would expect to be capable of staying pretty game. My C and D welshes have all been steady tbh. The araby sports ponies hotter but still obedient. My dressage (WBx...

Been to Holland :) Finished 13th of 35. Frustrating extra circle in cones where I had a blind moment cost us a few places but overall a success. Next stop for Rocky- Royal Windsor :)

Wonder how much that guy sold his practice to a corporate for…?! And what his salary covered running a house wise vs. current vet salaries..! £15 in ‘76 is £90+ now… The 2 worst practices I’ve worked in were independent. Really dangerous and corrupt. For better or worse the world has changed and...

Do you need to long rein? My fab ride and drive cob won’t long rein (without getting super stressed/bolting if you do more than walk). Hard to say why he hates it so much but it’s not for him. I’m not a novice long reining. He’s a fantastic ridden and driven pony still.

It’s more routine than you probably realise! 100% do not kneel or sit on anything near a horse that needs to be sedated to do feets, legs!
