A kind of treeless idea I have that I've put a lot of thought and research into and I think it could work... Except there's no way I've the ability to put it together! Do I just contact a saddlery? Thanks 😄

I have a 13hh new forest and I'm 5'6 :p a real chunky type and I don't look too big at all. Luckily I fit ok in saddle as she takes a 16" :)

I'm on month 6 of having my new field, I'm guessing it's about 1.5 acres. I have a horse and a small pony, and I have never ending grass, had to strip graze but it still grows back at a faster pace than they can eat! I probably have until mid December until I will start feeding hay and half the...

I'm currently at a lovely yard but it is 40mins away and it's taking time away that I could be spending with my horses. I need grass livery ideally, or DIY with turnout every day for a horse and small pony, very well mannered. I have tried all local livery yards and they're full to the brim ...

It is going to be very difficult to get hay rounds now my horse's field is up a steep path... So hoping to go the small bale route for ease. Going to keep the bales in a shed next to the field shelter. I have a big hay rack feeder similar to the little ones that go on the wall in stables with...

My horse is a very nervy girl (not with clipping, just with the wires attached dangling!) so thought I may as well buy cordless ones now I need a new one. Could anyone recommend decent ones which are cheap as possible really, hoping to find some under the £120 mark but finding it a bit hard! :p

I haven't found anything I love riding more than my 15.3hh Irish type, she's so comfy :) however I do have a pony around the 13hh mark, do the occasional ride on her, I'm 5'7 but don't feel/look big! She's a new forest. She is so fun to ride and I find myself laughing!! However I do appreciate...

Ended up viewing a lovely Irish sports horse, honest seller and now my best friend :)

If I were to sell a horse I'd be happy if buyer was honest enough like you, not time wasting at all quite the opposite if you know the horse isn't for you. About 4 years ago, I found a fantastic looking horse on the Internet, 16.2hh ex-racer but forward sensible about it, likes jumping and...

How long does a round bale last 2 horses in a field anyone please? (Greedy horses!) I currently pay £12 a week per horse for ad lib hay or haylage which i think is fab no hassle getting in but have to lug it down field(long muddy walk) as they live out. Was thinking a round bale may just be...

6 hours for my horse who I ride a lot, my pony it would have to be unlimited really as she has a easy life! however I finally found a livery yard where they can live out together with no other horses in field, 4 fields to rotate and a very large field shelter. Makes life easy and cheaper lol!

is the stainless steel mouthpiece as 'kind' as the plasticy happy mouth type? I am gentle with hands but sometimes catch her when she over Junps :(

It's been frazzled by the sun! :( luckily mine are in the fat pony section to lose a bit of weight so I've a bit saved, the rain for the last two days hasn't worked its lush grass magic yet :P

I've found out (over two years!) the only bit she is comfortable in is a Mullen mouth happy mouth bit. The bit I have is too big so I am going to buy another, she's currently in a loose ring. She can get a bit strong up to jumps and likes to ignore the bit at times and fiddles around with it...

Hello, equine dentistry is my dream career however I'm doing so much research and I'm getting nowhere, I think ive asked all the EDTs in Kent but I am willing to move away for one, or wait a year or two! :) I was wondering if anyone knew any EDTs who may offer an apprenticeship as I'm just...
