Hi there, My horse injured her right fore out hunting at the start of November and has been on boxed rest with limited turnout in the arena up to half an hour and hand walking for up to 15min since then. She's had XRays which came up completely clear, and nerve blocks which pinpointed it to her...

Perhaps...but messaged her to her sales page asking did she do sales livery, she replied straight away yes, depending on price and pony. Mum replied with a very vague uninterested message - just said "The Clover Hill pony" so the conversation stopped in tracks (though Mum didn't exactly help it...

I am based in Ireland with a cracking little 14hh pony, who jumped his first 1.10 track in September and competed with success up to Novice (1m) PC eventing. He's been off work since the start of Oct as I am in an exam year and have a horse so can only get to him maybe once a week..but now it's...

Hello again! In the end I took my more experienced little eventing pony to B-Camp, as there were apparently some beasts of XC fences on the estate, and we might not of got time to practise them before the test. Instructor decided it might be a little bit too much for the SJ Princess and it...

This is what I meant, and didn't mean to cause offence @Sukistokes2. Because riding at an amateur level is very much about how much effort you want to put in - very little can get the majority of horses to plod around, but they do need a lot of continuous effort to really get them engaging their...

(will remove copyright pics \replace with one I buy) Was at the Pony Club championships today and someone set our camera on 'night' for some reason, so all our jumping shots came out blurry! Here's the three the photographer took, pony will be for sale soon so I'd like one from the champs, but...

We had to turn an american couple away from our riding stables because of their weight, both were over 25 stone and were taken back when we said that they couldn't ride!These were of course tourists and not riders, but we do have some other over weight riders too. I think IMO it's because if...

I'm actually having a lesson tomorrow for that exact reason! Haha thank you! I think it's more the theory we're kind of awful at. At camp our instructor would produce pieces of leatherwork or random bit attachments and ask what they were, then explain they were "only really popular in the...

Another update... So a few days after the last update we went to a national young rider development training day, and I had a lesson with a really good instructor, along with a 1.40 young rider. His comments about her were so interesting. We did a grid, gradually working our way up to a...

To affiliate her here will cost approx €80, and as we only have one affiliated horse atm (my daughter's) who is ironing out some stopping issues competing, we would have to affiliate a school cob at an extra cost of approx €100? Probably would not enjoy plodding around in the 60cms...

We applied for a foreign riding student 5 days ago, thinking we may get one next year. Yet to our surprise we got one immediately, and she arrived yesterday! She's a really lovely 17 year old girl from Paris and a nice rider. Pretty good english though a little shy of-course. My question is...

I do Pony Club in Ireland and have never had anyone comment on my jacket, which has white accents on the collar and pockets (though I did mean to get the pockets chopped off, I haven't got around to it) I've worn it eventing, show jumping, combined training, all in different areas, and qualified...

*EDIT* should of looked at the dates and end comments, fab horse you've got there :)

Saw them being sold at the RDS last week and went to look up stand maps to get the name of the retailer, but it was Fellini themselves that were there! That's where everyone I know got them from, but not much use to you, sorry!

I adore them, I think overall they're wonderful, easy-going, alrounder ponies. However, we got one on loan from a friend, without knowing much about him other than he'd pop round a 90 track. He's actually going back, as he is ridiculously strong and wants to go a million miles an hour, with the...
